In a joint statement from his company, Mercury Radio Arts, and Fox News, it was announced that Glenn Beck’s show on Fox News will be cancelled later this year. Beck, who has been very controversial since his move from CNN to Fox in 2009, has come under fire from many groups claiming that his actions and commentary are divisive at a time when the country needs unity.
Opponents of Beck include organizations such as ColorofChange.org and Media Matters.
These and other groups are responsible for consumer boycotts which have led to a loss of hundreds of advertisers. In addition to the loss in advertisers, Fox has also seen ratings for Beck’s television show drop by about 30 percent since its high of 2.8 million in 2009. For fans, Beck will still broadcast his radio show and continue promoting his best-selling books.
Fox and Beck are still on good terms and are still planning to work together on future projects. The most common reason cited for the departure is the loss in advertisers and pressure on Fox News claiming that it was no longer focused on unbiased reporting of the news and had become a tool for the Republican Party.

So a couple of crazies decide that the time for divisive politics are over (sometime between November 2008 and January 2009), and that's the reason for Beck being 'controversial'?
Err...right. I'm sure those groups weren't basing their ideas on politics at all.

I would suggest the (IIRC) 300 + cancelled sponsors/advertisers meaning they've been forced to run non paying adverts for Sky news during his show would be a bigger factor.
The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Yeaaah, companies don't like that.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.
