Beyond the whole Media Matters campaign targeting Beck's advertisers (READ MORE), I believe there's another reason for the show's dramatic rise and fall in daily viewership.
Before Glenn Beck's final farewell from Faux News, this blogger sat down and watched a rerun of his show.
Instead of focusing on the conservative flavor of the show itself, I stepped backed and evaluated how the various visually manufactured elements were formulated to tell a story. Basically, Beck's television program resembled a poorly constructed, G-rated version of "Swimming to Cambodia" (without all the juicy sex, drugs and rock-n-roll). Monologues, as a dramatic element, should contain some deeper level of "self-discovery". What I witnessed was an extended verbal diatribe of rhetorical self-aggrandizing behavior. In a word: BORING.
Yes, despite his political views, at the end of the day, P.T. Beck lost his SOAP BOX because his show was (dramatic pause) BORING.
