Sarah should be # 2. Just saying.

Newsweek’s Power 50: #1 Rush #2 Beck #3 Hannity #4 O’Reilly #5 Stewart #6 Sarah Palin

In the oversaturated, hypercommodified media culture of 2010, the most influential political figures are generally the ones who make the most money peddling their perspectives.  To figure who's tops in this new world, NEWSWEEK asked Wealth-X, an intelligence and research firm, to compile a list of the 50 highest-earning political figures of 2010. Included in the rankings are politicians, ex-politicians, media personalities, and political consultants who hawk their personal brands in the public marketplace—and influence American political discourse in the process.  To see a profile of any member of the Power 50, just click on their name in the list below.  You can also sort these names to see the list broken down by gender or occupation, just click on the category at the top of the list. And, you can find our full methodology here.

Newsweek's Power 50: The List

What number is Laura Ingramm?

LIBERAL RESPONSE :

They’re mostly conservative and RICH! They don’t deserve any tax cuts.

Wheres Cam Newton?

How is it that Glenn Beck makes more than O’Reilly and Hannity?

Is this total earnings or what Fox pays?

Sarah should be # 2. Just saying.

Why are you a hater?

Just saying.

Seriesly. Who should be # 1, if not Sarah?

Oh, and thanks for the de-pimping. :)

Me

Laura Ingramm is #11

Beck has his own corporation and employees so assume this is his (personal?) gross from all sources. But is is a lot. I don’t know how he gets the time for all he does: radio, TV, live shows, books, Internet, etc). He must work hard so don’t begrudge him a cent. It’s the American way.

I’d vote for you too. Except I’m not quite sure you’re sexier than Sarah.

Is “power” measured by dollars earned?

...and Savage? Yet another media blackout.

He he, I got it.

Beck has many irons in the fire, so to speak. His books are bestsellers on Amazon in a matter of days after their release. His shows (radio and TV...Rush has radio, O’Reilly has tv)...only Beck has both. He has a magazine, and then he does live shows, not to mention money generated by his website access. The man is an entrepreneur in the truest sense of the word.

Slight correction...Hannity has both TV and radio too.

I am Sarah’s biggest supporter, she was robbed getting 6. No one can debate that Rush is the biggest influence. However Sarah is a strong # 2 NOT #6
