Beck's indignant critiques of the Obama administration and gloomy outlook on the nation's financial health have found near-instant resonance. His eponymous 2 p.m. PST program averaged nearly 2.2 million viewers last month -- double the number the time slot attracted the previous February and a remarkable amount for the afternoon. That made "Glenn Beck" the third most-watched program in all of cable news for the month, after Bill O'Reilly's and Sean Hannity's evening shows. This is news why? Beck is saying exactly what wingers want to hear. "I look at the ratings every day shocked," Beck said on a recent afternoon, sitting shoeless in his Midtown office as snow pelted the Manhattan skyline behind him. But he believes he knows why viewers are tuning in: "People know in their gut that something's not right. They're not getting the truth." They sure as hell are not getting any truth from Mr. Beck; then again, truth is not what he is selling nor what his listeners are looking for.
