America Loves Oprah Winfrey, Glenn Beck

by at .

According to the results of a new Harris Poll, Jay Leno is not as popular he once was.

Due to his role in the NBC late-night debacle, The Tonight Show host has fallen from the top spot he held last year as the country's favorite TV personality. He now sits at number-three behind Oprah Winfrey and... Glenn Beck?!?!?!?

Really, fellow citizens? You're falling that much for the Fox News anchor's contrived national therapy sessions? We knew the exploitation of the ignorant was lucrative, but we didn't know it made one so popular.

Rounding out the top 10 in the poll were...

4. Ellen DeGeneres and Hugh Laurie from House (tie)
6. Jon Stewart
7. Charlie Sheen
8. Mark Harmon from NCIS
9. David Letterman
10. Bill O’Reilly

So the list includes a racist at number-two and an alleged wife-beater at number-seven? America really may need to rethink its tastes.

    How incredibly patronizing! Saying exploitation of the ignorant is lucrative but you'd never expect it to make you as popular [as Beck is]. Are you implying that Oprah Winfrey's shows are intellectually stimulating? She drums up middle-class babbit female hysteria over paedophiles and people who don't believe in god. If you want an example of a crass demagogue then she's your poster-child! Liberal hypocrisy knows no bounds!

    Wow! If this website or blog or whatever wasn't such a piece of crap I might get offended by the ignorant slight. I don't understand how anyone could watch Glenn Beck and then do some home work and not agree with him. I mean really, take a look in the mirror and think about who might be the ignorant one. It's ok if you don't agree. Just please leave the U.S. and move to North Korea or I don't know France maybe. Let us go back to the Constitution and some fiscal common sense.

    The fact that people actually support that fat, muckraking schmuck at #2 proves to me that Americans in general are ignorant. Beck is entertaining, but knowledgeable? Please. It's time that Americans wake up and realize what kind of idiocy and hatemongering they're letting themselves fall for.

    Maybe you should do a poll first and realize that possibly half or more of your readers are offended by your opinion and your reference to them as ignorant. Ignorant is by definition to be uninformed and I think this may be a case to the pot calling the kettle black.

    Are you serious with your stupid, false Glenn Beck comments? Fox News is the most watched network in the Nation. Maybe YOU are the ones that need to reevaluate. You are simply wrong in calling him a racist, clearly showing that YOU are the ignorant ones. You are trying to spread an agenda on false accusations, just like the rest of your fellow liberals. Wake up, it's not working in America any longer, and it's laughable to pretend that the majority of America is stupid or ignorant, and only the GOSSIP rags know who should really be up there. Seriously, LAUGH OUT LOUD.
