Various media outlets (including Salon.com and the Christian Science Monitor – quoting our friend, Jeffrey Jones) are abuzz with speculation about why Beck has announced that he’ll be moving away from his (in)famous Fox News program in the coming months.
ODU prof, Jeffrey Jones on Beck in CSM: ““He’s a spectacle,” says Jeffrey Jones, a professor of media and politics at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. “He wears viking helmets, he pours gasoline on things. It wouldn’t surprise me that what was once a fresh voice has now become a routine, that audiences might be saying, ‘Well, I’ve seen that before.’ ”
