The French rolled up in more than 30 armored cars to the compound of Ivory Coast 'strongman' Laurent Gbagbo today and finally arrested him. All hail the French!

Max Read · 04/06/11 09:06PM

Glenn Beck announced his departure from Fox News on his show tonight. As it turns out, he is the Paul Revere of the 21st century, and this show was his "midnight ride."

Glenn Beck (Temporarily) Washed Away by Tsunami

Hamilton Nolan · 03/11/11 02:10PM

In your waterlogged Friday media column: Fox News chooses Japan over Glenn Beck, Adam Moss can't come up with any good insults, the New York Times knows what you need to read, and everyone's getting into this whole iPad thing.

Glenn Beck's War on Google Actually Makes Some Sense

Adrian Chen · 02/19/11 05:34PM


Glenn Beck was on Bill O'Reily's show last night, talking about his ongoing anti-Google crusade. (See video above.) Glenn Beck only pays attention to things insofar as they fit into his crazy conspiracy theories, and he suddenly became aware of Google a couple weeks ago as news emerged about the key role Google executive Wael Ghonim played in Egypt's revolution.
