Glenn Beck has lost 1/3 of its TV audience since January Should we blame it on the Massa Moment? Will that Hindenburg performance soon be seen as the turning point for Glenn Beck: the pivotal moment when the Fox News show began to permanently leak viewers? Who can forget the March day that will live in cable news infamy, when Beck invited embattled Democratic Congressman Eric Massa onto his show, for an entire hour, to blow the whistle on Democratic Party corruption? Or so Beck thought. Instead, Massa went on and on about tickle fights, and Beck became a laughing stock -- the butt of endless Geraldo-opens-Al-Capone's-vault jokes. Prior to the Massa Moment, Glenn Beck was averaging 2.6 million viewers each week, and the show was still flying high. And in the short term, the wildly hyped Massa episode produced ratings gold, generating 3.4 million viewers that night, thank you very much. Long-term though, the effects have proven to be disastrous. As I noted two weeks ago, Glenn Beck's ratings are down this spring. Now it's clear those declines are accelerating and there are no signs of a rebound. So what does that mean for Beck, Fox News, and the Tea Party movement? First, the latest Nielsen low: Glenn Beck just posted another ratings low for this year. The new mark was set last Thursday when the show attracted 1.82 million viewers. The host's previous, non-vacation low for 2010 had been 1.97 million viewers. That low-ebb mark was set on April 9.

And so what's the point Grasshopper? Will you also be commenting on Airhead America losing 100% of their audience since last year? Who cares about this guy anyway...he's an entertainer in case you couldn't figure it out. That said....this guy kinda slid almost as bad as your f'in regime leader eh? I've never seen this Beck guy.....wish I'd never seen your guy either....

Skippy how do Beck's numbers compare to Olbermann, Matthews, Big Ed and Maddow? Do any of them even have an audience. Sneakypete, have you ever been married? Said things you later regretted?
