Earnings and Book Deal
BusinessInsider.com estimated Glenn Beck will make $18 million in 2009 [3] Now with the signing of Beck's new book deal with Simon & Schuster he will be given a larger share in the profits of each book, as well as increased creative control. [4]
Liberal attempts to silence Beck
Liberal activism groups attempted to silence Beck by pushing his advertisers to abandon his program, after he courageously pointed out Barack Obama's racism against whites and Obama's hatred of white culture. This prompted RedState to defend Beck and call for a boycott of the liberal-strongarmed companies.
