Beck is getting free publicity from all of this. I'd be willing to bet that he'll have a bit of a ratings spike because people who have never seen the show will tune in to see what's going on. Some will switch the channel right away and others may decide that they like the show. The people who already watch aren't going anywhere because a couple of sponsors pulled their ads. And I'm sure there are already other companies waiting to get ad slots on his program. I haven't seen more than 30 seconds of the show, but it seems to be pretty popular with a lot of people. Just not my cup of tea.

	Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
