Watching a trainwreck

The Tennessean ran an article that openly wondered: Why does anyone watch Glenn Beck?

Beck is appointment television for Robert Lehman, a stay-at-home dad who lives in Wichita, Kan. He's a regular even though he's a Democrat who considers Beck a "nut."

"It's very difficult to describe why you watch him," Lehman said. "But it is captivating. It's an interesting show and it moves very quickly."


Lehman had it right in the first quoted paragraph:



The Tennessean continues:

Except for Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, Beck has more viewers than any other cable news show, and he's on at a time many people are at work.


This isn't the first time Beck's popularity among the unemployed, and/or shut-ins, has been noted. Hmm.
