Glenn Beck Tops Two Best Seller Lists; Hits Trifecta of NY Times Lists

Beck_6.29.jpg

Glenn Beck's Common Sense has hit the #1 spot on the USA Today Best-Selling list and will hit #1 on the July 5th New York Times Best Sellers list, making Beck one of just a few authors in history to hit #1 on the New York Times fiction, non-fiction and paperback original bestseller lists.

Beck's Common Sense is joined on the NYT paperback non-fiction bestseller list by An Inconvenient Book at #4, giving him two books in the top 5.

And Beck's not slowing down. His next book, the hardcover non-fiction Arguing With Idiots, will be published by Threshold Editions later this year.

FNC's Weekend Jackson Plans

Fox News has added a live hour tomorrow afternoon at 2pmET/11amPT to cover the Michael Jackson story. The hour will be anchored by Kelly Wright and Juliet Huddy. The business block stays intact from 10am-NoonET. Also, Greta Van Susteren will anchor a live "On the Record" tomorrow night at 9pmET from Los Angeles.

And WebNewser reports on another rare move the network has made.

At Home With Bret Baier

Baier Home.jpgThe new home of FNC Special Report anchor Bret Baier is the focus of a photo spread in The Washington Post's "Home" section.

Baier lives in the 7,500-square-foot Northwest Washington house with his wife Amy and their 2 year-old son Paul. The Baiers "customized the interior layouts before breaking ground [last] May," writes Jura Koncius.

"Decorated primarily with furnishings from Ralph Lauren Home," Koncius reports, "the space punches all the buttons of a modern family dream house: master bedroom with his-and-hers baths and walk-in closets, a workout room, a glamorous kitchen with a butler's pantry and a wine room. Paul has a nursery, a playroom and a big-boy bedroom for later, plus a kid-size, red-walled toy room his mom carved out of some unused space under the stairs to store his fleet of plastic vehicles."

FNC Exec: "We're Paying Attention to the Non-News Networks Because Now We Want to Catch Them"

FNC_6.25.jpg

THR's James Hibberd gets a jump on next week's final June and Q2 cable news ratings with a story on the continued Fox News dominance.

With the second quarter coming to a close, Fox News averaged about the same number of viewers as the top three other cable news networks combined. And while rivals including CNN (down 22 percent) and MSNBC (down 18 percent) took hits following last quarter's inauguration-fueled boost, Fox News (down 3 percent) remained nearly steady.

As it did last week, FNC could finish the quarter as the third most-watched ad supported cable channel after USA and TNT.

When asked about the competition, [SVP Bill] Shine said, "The numbers speak for themselves. ... If anything, we're paying attention to the non-news networks because now we want to catch them."

• TVNewser will have final numbers for the month of June and the second quarter next Monday and Tuesday.

Bill & Barney Round 2: "We're Making A Lot of Progress Here. Pretty Soon We'll Be Going Camping Together"

BOBF_6.24.jpgThey disagreed, but were civil. They talked over each other, but both made their points. Tonight's Bill O'Reilly, Rep. Barney Frank face-off was, actually, meaningful. That is if you care about issues including the defense of marriage act, spending cuts and banking regulation. And no one stormed off.

At the end of the first segment, O'Reilly even said, "We have some common ground. We're making a lot of progress here congressman. Pretty soon we'll be going camping together."

By the end of the conversation, O'Reilly asked, "We gave you your say tonight. Are you happy?" After a pause, Frank responded, "No, I'm never happy with everything, Bill."

Here's part one about prisoner abuse photos and DOMA.

Here's part two about budget/spending cuts, health care reform and a continuation of their first interview - the banking system.

Fox News Identifies (R) Gov. as a (D)

FNC_Sanford_6.24.jpg

During his news conference this afternoon, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford was identified as a (D) on Fox News. Not only is he not a (D) he was, until today, the head of the RGA - Republican Governor's Association. The (D) on the lower third banner appeared for about 7 seconds. The banner was then switched to quotes Sanford was giving before the correct (R) designation was inserted.

And this is not the first time this has happened. In Oct. 2006, Fox News mislabeled disgraced Florida GOP congressman Mark Foley as a Democrat.

Welcome to Glenn Beck's Dollhouse

If you've been confused about the twists and turns in the ACORN story, never fear, Glenn Beck is here - with Barbies - to explain how he sees it. And this wasn't even on his own show. This is from The O'Reilly Factor last night:

Time's James Poniewozik adds: "...there's a part of me that has to respect Beck for at least being willing to own his nuttiness."

Fox News Producer Ambushed

Watters_6.22.bmpSo, it happened. Gawker's John Cook finally ambushed FNC producer Jesse Watters - the producer known for his ambush reporting on The O'Reilly Factor. But Watters backed out of his driveway before Cook could get any of his questions answered.

The story and video here...

Special "Studio B" Today at 3pmET

Shepard Smith will anchor a special edition of "Studio B" today about the situation in Iran. We're told it will feature correspondents from various locations including London, Jerusalem, the State Dept. and the Pentagon and will also play some of the amateur video on the social networking sites.

Smith anchored two hours of FNC's coverage Saturday night.
