Really, what the answer turned out to be, was a dude who was slightly lamer than Alex, with slightly better resources, and a far more retarded audience.

This created a balance between Glenn and Alex, because FOX's viewers, and Alex's viewers, could coexist at this point, thereby keeping everyone happy and in business feeding bullshit to uneducated sheep all over the country, without any of the sheep individually conflicting with one another on the same media-driven issues (thereby starting flame wars which may reduce total number of viewers). It worked well enough, anyhow.
