(Glenn Beck's) GBTV to Launch Reality Show

Glenn Beck's online video network GBTV Tuesday announced it is launching its first reality show, Independence U.S.A.

The series follows Frank Belcastro as he tries to prepare his unwillingly family for a life "off the grid" in case of total economic collapse or devastating natural disaster by building a car that runs on wood, learning to hunt and making his own alcohol for barter, for example.

So Beck left Fox News to skim off his hollow-brained viewers with sub-sub-sub-standard paranoia like this? Can anyone say "worse than Fox News or MTV"?

I think some of his fans are turning on him though. I went over the Freepville the other day and looked at a thread there about him. Alot of the replies weren't all that different from what you'd find here. Many seem to think he's certifiable.
