Though the megahit GLEE may not be everyone's favorite show, words used to describe it don't usually include "nightmare", "propaganda", and "horror". Yet those words are exactly the ones that radio host Glenn Beck chose to describe the musical TV show.

The Huffington Post reports that Beck stated that he's "watched it in stunned horror combined with a sense of admiring awe. It is a brilliant brilliant show...but it is a horror show." He said. "It's all about self-gratification...it's a nightmare."

He went on to add that "there is no way to beat this," and added that when the GLEE actors performed My Chemical Romance's "Sing," it was anti-establishment "propaganda" by the show.

Beck hosts the Glenn Beck Program, a nationally syndicated talk-radio show that airs throughout the United States on Premiere Radio Networks. He has also authored six New York Times-bestselling books. Additionally, Beck is the founder and CEO of Mercury Radio Arts, a multimedia production company through which he produces content for radio, television, and online.

GLEE made its triumphant return to prime time with an astounding 12.3 million viewers tuning in to the Season 2 premiere. The anticipation and excitement for GLEE music reached new heights with over 250,000 new tracks downloaded in the first 48 hours available. This incredible response yielded more record breaking moments for GLEE; it's the first time all singles from any episode simultaneously appeared in the top 10 of iTunes Top Songs chart.
