(Newser) – Love him or hate him, Glenn Beck isn't going anywhere. The conservative radio host has signed a new five-year, $100 million deal with syndicator Premiere Networks, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The deal represents a hefty pay bump for Beck, whose last five-year radio contract was for $10 million a year in 2007. The Glenn Beck Program morning show is carried by more than 400 stations, and is America's third most popular talk radio show, behind only Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

They say you can tell a lot about a person by the kind of garbage they take to the curb.  Likewise, you can tell a lot about the character of a culture by the kind of people they idolize. A culture's political, media, entertainment and business personalities serve as a kind of barometer of the health of the gestalt. As that is the case, for Beck to be the third most popular 'talker' in America we have all the proof we need that this country/culture is truly and irrevocably fucked.
