Glenn Beck is a conservative talk-radio host and television anchor employed by Fox News.[1]. His radio show, The Glenn Beck Program, is syndicated by over 230 radio stations across the United States. His television show, Glenn Beck, appeared daily on CNN Headline News.
Glenn Beck is the author of four books, including The Real America: Messages from the Heart and Heartland and three #1 New York Times Bestsellers, An Inconvenient Book: Real Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems, The Christmas Sweater, and most recently, Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government.

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.
The publicity over the attempts on Beck's popularity achieved a result that the liberals cannot have intended: Glenn Beck was featured on the cover of Time, and in a final insult to their pride, he is depicted sticking his tongue out at the viewer. Glenn Beck, however, was less than pleased: he stated that Time ought to have featured the large crowds attending the September 12 March on Washington and not him on its cover.
