Well he's not really an "entertainer" in the classic sense but he uses the same techniques to stay visible and make a living. What Glenn Beck is doing is nothing new, it's been done for decades if not more (here in the States at least). A metal band makes money exploiting people who want something loud and angry to listen to, Glenn Beck and his ilk exploit people who think America needs more god, morals, conservative ideas (or whatever he's been supporting lately) and sells it to an audience that wants to hear it. Every time he goes on about America turning its back on God another person turns on his tv show or buys one of his books...and lets face it there is a large portion of our country that eats this stuff up like candy.
I'm not saying its a good thing, it just is what it is and its a pretty big business.
