Glenn Beck Rated Right in April 2025 Small Group Editorial Review
Reviewers were unanimous that Beck shows a Right bias in an April 2025 Small Group Editorial Review by three panelists on the left, center, and right.
On his X account, Beck's profile showed a populist, right-wing bent; he typically advocates for policies he sees as in favor of Middle Americans and criticizes ruling elites, particularly Democrat policies of recent decades. His bio said he was "against ESG before it was cool," ESG referring to environmental, social, governance standards that conservatives argue pressure companies to adhere to liberal standards of action, essentially amounting to a "social credit score." Beck also referred to schools supporting students' gender transitions as "parental rights violations" and is outspoken against illegal immigration, NAFTA, globalist trade policies, and federal funding to Harvard.
Beck has described himself as a conservative libertarian, listing personal responsibility, limited government and socially conservative values as the cornerstones of society. Beck has a radio show on The Blaze, a multiplatform conservative news network he founded.
