Kick rocks with flip-flops sucka!!

Glenn Beck will end his popular and often controversial daily program on the Fox News Channel later this year, Fox News and Beck’s production company said Wednesday.

Beck will “transition” away from Fox, with no specific end date for his 5 p.m. program, the news channel and Mercury Radio Arts, Beck’s company, said in a joint statement.

“Glenn Beck” has been one of the most popular programs on a cable news network since its debut on Fox News in early 2009. But the host has come under criticism for his attacks on Democratic figures like President Obama and his predictions of apocalyptic doom. Among Beck’s targets has been liberal billionaire philanthropist George Soros, whom Beck linked to Nazi atrocities in Soros’s native Hungary during World War II. Beck’s comments about Soros last fall drew denunciations from Jewish groups.

Beck and Mercury have occasionally clashed with Fox over the production of his program, and Beck’s controversial statements have driven away a number of corporate advertisers, despite the show’s ardent following.

Beck’s leaving had some folks ready to pop bottles.

The news brought a modestly triumphant response from David Brock, founder of Media Matters for America, a liberal media watchdog group that is partially funded by one of Soros’ philanthropic foundations and has been a persistent critic of Beck and Fox News.

After losing advertisers and viewers, “the only surprise is that it took Fox News months to reach this decision,” Brock said in a statement. “Fox News now has to choose: will it eliminate all violent rhetoric from the network — not just during the 5 p.m. hour? And will the network make a commitment to end its role as a political operation masquerading as a news station?”

Doesn’t the air smell better after pieces of sh*t leave the area? Ahhhhhhh…
