Like radio addresses from the presidents, and urgent messages sent by telegraph, Glenn Beck's time on Fox News has at last come to an end. Confirming rumors that his departure was imminent, the conservative talk show host, had his finale on Thursday, leaving Fox News behind to start his own 'fair and unbiased' network.
Beck will next try his hand at internet television, as the vivacious commentator will be starting GBTV, for paying subscribers this September.
He couldn't end his show without one more impassioned speech from his trademark chalkboards, where he often wove tales of vast world conspiracies; including the claim that the political unrest in Egypt will lead to an Islamic Caliphate taking control of the Middle East.
Beck took stabs at all his critics, most notably his erstwhile foe from the Daily Show, Jon Stewart, saying he produced his show with only two writers while Stewart needed a team for his shorter show. Perhaps having a team of writers would have kept Beck from spewing the comments about the President's 'deep-seated hatred of white people' that lost his show most of its sponsors.
