Did Glenn Beck Lose His Checkbook?
As Media Matters noted over the weekend, the Wilmington Journal in Ohio recently reported that Glenn Beck has yet to make good on his pledges to make big donations to the struggling Ohio town. Did Beck, who earns $32 million annually, misplace his checkbook, or has he had second thoughts about honoring his pledge?
You'll recall in December, Beck made a big media push by traveling to Wilmington and broadcasting his syndicated radio show and his Fox News television show from the middle-class town in hopes of raising awareness about his unemployment struggle.
Even more upsetting now is the news that, to date, Beck has stiffed Wilmington in terms of the charitable donations he and his producers claimed the host would make following his widely publicized visit. Incredibly, last week when the Wilmington Journal tried to get answers about the no-show donations, the paper was ignored by Beck's producers.
It's possible that Beck will one day honor his word and make the donations, but right now this looks really, really bad. Beck's live television broadcast at the Murphy Theatre sold out all 860 seats at $125 apiece. By that count, the box office income alone could have exceeded $100,000. (Producers from the Glenn Beck Program did not return phone calls or email messages seeking comment or clarification.) And an early morning breakfast with the talk-show host cost 70 of his fans $500 a plate.

5. Typical Republicon. Beck goes AWOL.
As usual. Republicons don't do responsibility, charity, or truth...
Actually he isn't a repulicon as you put it.

10. He does NOT earn $32 million.
He make rake it in, but what he's earned he hasn't gotten yet.
He actually brings in money unlike you goons who sit there with hand held wide open waiting for Obama to fill it.

15. Paranoid Beck travels with a small army, maybe that's where the $ went
Paranoid? The man gets actual death threats from moonbats on a daily basis.
I don't believe a word of this since it came from Media matters, knowing they have an agenda of shutting him up.
