Jim Cramer: Glenn Beck "A Nice Guy," Advertisers Will "All Come Back In The End"
A nice guy.......for a racist rable rouser.



Jim Cramer defended Glenn Beck Monday, saying the controversial Fox News host is a "nice guy" and predicting that his boycotting advertisers "all come back in the end" (via TVNewser).

Beck's show has experienced an advertiser exodus over his comment on "Fox & Friends" that President Obama is "racist."

Cramer made his comments about Beck in a conversation with Erin Burnett about the advertising market for political talk shows.

1. Hopefully this prediction will be as accurate as his stock-picking...
..in other words, completely fucking wrong...

6. But Cramer is unfortunately right.
Whether or not Beck remains in the time slot, the advertisers will eventually come back, or be replaced by others.

7. Yeah, you're probably right.
The best that can be hoped for, is that eventually, he becomes such a cash drain for Fox, that they dump him. But since he is also a ratings leader (proof positive that in the land of the blind, the loudest blind man is king) that is unfortunately unlikely.

4. Cramer's head is so far up his own ass he needs a window in his stomach to look out.
He's wrong about absolutely everything, so Beck is fucked.

5. Because Jim's track record shows just how right he usually is...
"Nice Guys" don't accuse poeple of the kind of shit that Beck does.
