This is interesting. Beck hired someone to run a unit that will no longer exist. Hmmm..what?

“Ironically, the mass layoffs are occurring shortly after the company hired CNN alumnus Matt Frucci, former executive producer of the cable network’s New Day morning show, to run The Blaze’s television operation in New York—which apparently will no longer exist.”

Also from the article:
“However shocking to the pink-slipped employees, this latest round of mass firings comes as no surprise to insiders at The Blaze and Mercury Radio Arts, which laid off dozens of employees last May on a day referred to internally as “Black Monday,” around the same time that Beck was purchasing a private jetliner and a $200,000 Maybach sedan.”

Oh my, what a guy that Beck is.

Beck has a web only channel, so he might have hired the person for that media channel or a plan to shift the content to Youtube / Vimeo or another way to make money.

The whole project always struck me as somewhat delusional. I remember him describing Mercury Radio when it was first announced by making comparisons to Orson Welles, and thinking, does he remember what happened to Orson Welles and his career?
