Glenn Beck taps into the big business of paranoia - The Globe and Mail.

"And his business empire is no joke. Forbes magazine estimates that Beck Inc. generates annual income of $23-million (U.S.), the largest chunk of which comes from his radio show, which boasts eight million listeners on 400 radio stations. He earns an estimated $2-million from Fox, where his show regularly grabs an audience of more than three million viewers - more than CNN and MSNBC combined in the 5 p.m. time slot. On a good day, he beats out fellow conservative Bill O'Reilly's top-rated prime-time show, also on Fox News."
