Just turn him off

As I've been scanning the blogs this morning, I come across three or four screaming and yelling about what an idiot Glen Beck is and asking why CNN keeps the creep on the air. Here's a case in point from Digby.

Hey, wake up guys/gals, they keep him on the air because you guys/gals are watching him! They don't care whether he says he hates his mother if that gets a few people to watch the adds.

Frankly, I doubt you'd get more than a 10% recognition rate in a national poll to the question, "Do you know who Glen Beck is?" And half of those would know some other Glen Beck.

If you just watch something else when he's on, your anger index will go down a lot and probably your blood pressure along with it.
