First Posted: 11- 5-07 07:49 AM   |   Updated: 03-28-08 02:45 AM

New York Times:

On his daily radio talk show, Glenn Beck portrays himself as an average guy, a recovering alcoholic and a comedian who regularly injects humor into his conservative politics.

This week he can add another description: very wealthy.

Premiere Radio Networks, a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications, is expected to announce today that it is extending Mr. Beck's contract. Two sources with knowledge of the deal said it was valued at $50 million over five years, through a combination of salary and profit-sharing from syndication.

How Glenn Beck Is On Track For An $18 Million Year
  |   04/29/09 06:06 PM

Business Insider:

...as Beck was growing into stardom at Headline News, he built a media operation that stretches from radio to the web to concert halls and convention centers. Throw in the second piece of a $3 million book deal with Simon and Schuster, and the voice of the conservative opposition is on track to have an $18 million year.

1. Yet people will still insist that the US doesn't desperately media re-regulation

Yep- just like we don't need Wall Street re-regulation.

Actually, Wall Street (or energy) deregulation might not have even happened, had the media gone unaccountable first.

2. my brother and BIL LOVE this clown and rush. my husband will tell me about

conversations they have (they all work together) where they spout all that bs crap they hear from these guys. I told my husband... do they realize how much rush limbaugh makes a year!!! he doesn't give a crap about them!!! and he gets paid to spew all these lies. they will not listen. It doesn't matter what you say, they just talk louder and talk over you and spout the crap they heard on limbaugh and beck's shows.

15. "still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest"

la la la la la la

bottom line.

3. At every town hall meeting someone should carry a sign with

the salaries of Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Inghram, Malkin, Dobbs posted. No words, just
Annual salaries: and list everyone of them. Or maybe:

WHY THEY ARE AGAINST HEALTHCARE REFORM:

Beck, $18,000,000/year
Limbaugh, etc.
Hannity,
Coulter, etc. just make sure the salaries are correct.

20. yeah, hey maybe beck or limbaugh will pay the medical bills when they

get sick and lose their insurance.... or find out just what their insurance covers.... and doesn't.

4. Well, Pablo Escobar had money to - sometimes having money

and being an awful person go hand in hand...

5. Don't miss the clip of him Scarborough just aired

He's claiming health care reform is all about eugenics. He had a panel on with him and they were all stunned into silence.

7. I caught that moment while channel surfing

The stupidity just boggles the mind

[Stephanie]

9. I just posted the full clip in Videos

Did you know the Green Movement is the new Red?

[tanyev]

6. And he's not wasting a penny of it on mental health treatment.

[Orsino]

10. Crazy?

He's extremely well paid to act precisely the way he does.

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. As is Ru$h. And they laugh all the way to the bank, at their idiot supporters, I'll bet.

[Stephanie]

18. Precisely

[Vickers]

8. Just a simple man of the people.

:eyes:

[Riley18]

11. I'd like to see what kind of healthcare Beck and the rest have.

It would be great to see that info put on signs and shown at the town halls. Of course, the people carrying those signs won't get any media coverage.

[City Lights]

12. Just your average corporate hustler.

:puke:

[MissDeeds]

13. Wow

Who knew spewing hatred, ignorance and intolerance was so lucrative?

[dogtag]

14. Who says that

crime doesn't pay?

[Kaleva]

16. 91% tax rate for him

and all others who make over 3 million a year. The US ought to adopt the tax rates that were in effect during WWII and well into the 50's.

[Greyhound]

19. Funny how many people are completely ignorant of how much these media people make.

It allows them to pretend to be "of the people", while working against them.
