So I was going back through my blog and I realized that I never gave background information on Glenn Beck.
Well I'm not going to be the next biographer of Glenn Beck. I don't know when he was born, what his family life was like, if he went to school, the name of his wife or children.
But I've watched enough of his shows and read a couple of his books and I think the information I can take from those sources is this.
Glenn Beck is a recovered Alcoholic. There was no real "saw the light" moment. (Or at least not that I've read) I think what it was ultimately that made him do a 180 of his life was his faith.
Once he started tackling the overhaul of his life I think he used that has kind of his jumping point for his career. (Again I don't know for sure) I think he using his own "aha moment" and turn it to how the country needs to start looking at its "aha moments:"
During this time he was working at CNN. He also had written a book, and had a radio program. After the 2008 presidential election he moved to the Fox News Channel. And with no time at all he became a very bright star in the conservative movement.
The Glenn Beck program ares Monday through Friday at 5pm.
A lot of people think his show is nothing but theatrics. Honestly I think the reason behind why his show is so successful is because of the theatrics. I think that if you watch a couple of his shows you can see theatrics but throughout the theatrics I think (again personal opinion) that you can get a true feel for the passion he has when it comes to what he reports.
