Report: Glenn Beck’s The Blaze ‘Falling Apart’
Breitbart ^ | October 13, 2016 | Breitbart News

Posted on 10/13/2016 5:45:21 PM PDT by conservative98

Glenn Beck’s website The Blaze is coming apart, suffering from a lack of editorial direction, staff attrition and internal discord, according to sources inside the news outlet.

The site, which Beck launched in 2010 to serve as the conservative counterpart to The Huffington Post, has dropped from 25 employees on its editorial side to just six. A source inside The Blaze, who requested anonymity for fear of retribution, told HuffPost that the mood among the rapidly diminishing news team is somber.

“The few people who are still left are looking for an exit because they know The Blaze is over,” the source said. “They haven’t told us straight up that they’re done with us, but all the signs point to it, and they’re not replacing people who are laid off or get out.”

I feel sorry for Glenn Beck....

He had a perfect opportunity to be effective...and lost it.

I'm not sure why....

I could guess,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I think he’s had a couple of visits from the secret service.

Once, when he talked about stabbing Trump, and then when he and Brad Thor talked about assassinating Trump.

I also once liked Beck. It is amazing how far he has fallen. He played so many for fools. The only fools left are the couple of wing nuts who still follow him.

Re : Post #44 ~ Magnatron - You better watch yo’ back with a honey like that! HA! Just funnin’ with y’all...

Pardon me, I just had another spasmodic attack (again) - Nothing To Fear - it’s only my ‘Dangerfield’s Tourette’s Syndrome’ - I’ll always tell y’all’, “I don’t get NO Respect!”

One night, I came out of the club, and I jumped into a Taxi ~ I says to the driver ~ “take me to where I can find some action.”

Then he drove me right HOME!

I says to him, “Who told you that you could have sex with my wife!?”

He says, “EVERYBODY!”

One more (if you can stand it)

My wife! Let me tell ya ‘bout my wife - she always said I was ‘one in a million’ - then, I found out it was TRUE!”

I loved my wife, but she was not very bright. Each time she got pregnant; she thought we had to get married again!

“One day I accidentally locked my keys in the car. It took the Fire Department 25 minutes to get my family out!”

So many others...

Five years ago, I loved Beck’s diagrams showing the relationships between various NGOs and the government, relationships between public officials and those they regulated. It was an excellent and detailed analysis of the cozy relationships between various levers of power.
In the past two years, he’s gone downhill. His hatred of Trump to the point of insanity (cheeto dust on face comes to mind) is destroying what he built. And I loved the idea of his private conservative channel, homeschooling resources, etc.

And here we have the reason for the Hillary endorsement. Beck’s little empire is circling the drain, with no hope of saving it. That’s why Beck literally ran over people to get on the jet for the pilgrimage to Silicon Valley, then spot-welded his lips to Zuckerberg’s backside. He thought that little bit of bowing and scraping might persuade Zuckerberg (or another liberal tech titan) to invest in the Blaze and help him keep it going.

Obviously, Zuckerberg had no interest in propping up a failing media property. So, when Glenn returned from California with an empty wallet, he began hatching another scheme to get a cash infusion. Voila, he endorses Hillary, thinking that will get him in the good graces of her rich donors.

If Beck thinks a member of Hillary’s donor class will bail him out, he is delusional. The campaign hasn’t even acknowledged his “endorsement,” as far as I can tell. They have no use for Beck and his media company.

And, if you think it’s bad now, watch Beck after the election. He will morph into the Ed Schultz of 2016, willing to adopt any lib position to impress his new “friends.”

Of course, there is a certain irony in all of this. While Beck’s employees at the Blaze face unemployment, Glenn will be just fine. His radio talk show is syndicated through Premier Networks, which pays him a seven-figure salary each year. So, Glenn, Pat, Stew, Jeffie and the rest of the on-air crew will still have a job, even after the Blaze goes belly up.

Nobody was telling the public who Soros was back then. He did some really good stuff. At the same time I saw some stuff that I knew to be problematic, so I avoid him after that.

He left FoxNews and I lost track of him.

Glad I did.

The big kicker in all this was that Ted Cruz couldn’t figure out what it took me a day or two to.

I was very surprised Ted hung in there with him.

I think he way overestimated Glenn’s worth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_garment

“A temple garment, also referred to as garments, the garment of the holy priesthood,[2][3][4] or Mormon underwear,[5] is a type of underwear worn by adherents of the Latter Day Saint movement after they have taken part in the endowment ceremony. Garments are worn both day and night and are required for any adult who previously participated in the endowment ceremony to enter a temple.[6] The undergarments are viewed as a symbolic reminder of the covenants made in temple ceremonies and are seen as a symbolic and/or literal source of protection from the evils of the world.”

.....

“Temple garments are sometimes derided as “magic underwear” by non-Mormons, but Mormons view this terminology to be both misleading and offensive.”

The Glenn Beck of old, is one that I respected, and liked ot hear on the radio.

Then,there is the Glenn Beck of today, who, because he didn’t get his way and his candidate lost in the primaries, is now doing all he can to get Hillary elected. That current Glenn Beck is one that should go away and lose his show. No respect for him anymore.

Hey, Glenn, Trump may not be the perfect candidate, nor was he your favorite, but, SHEESH!!! man, come back to your senses, and let’s all stop Hillary together. Otherwise, it was nice knowing the person you used to be.

I agree. Glenn is a good front man when he is properly focused. He is a good storyteller. I think perhaps he took the good fortune he had at Fox-—basically capturing lightning in a bottle with the Tea Party movement, milking it through the key 5:00 pm dinner hour time, and applying a different (often bold) approach to tying the lib organizations together.

But probably he wasn’t the businessman he thought he was. When he began to create his own “network,” I thought, “Uh oh.” I was reminded how Henry Kaiser, one of the greatest businessmen in America, went broke when he tried to break into the auto business because he was undercapitalized and couldn’t ride out the bad years. With Glenn, he spent money like crazy, but not on the right things. He had a massive beautiful studio, but nothing to film there. He didn’t understand CONTENT was the key and didn’t offer viewers anything special.

I can’t help but wonder if there is a correlation between his medications and behavior / mental status. Beck did cover Soros, Agenda 21, Common Core, Muslim Brotherhood and Black History topics well. But then he began incorporating his health concerns which made him emotional. That’s when his program started to decay. With increasing frequency he would bait his audience with promises of incredible or earth shattering revelations...none of which he ever followed through.

Maybe George Soros is paying off his debts for his Hillary support

Glen and Brad Thor simply don’t get that the country is more important than their warped definition of a perfect candidate.


^^ THAT ^^

Do they possibly drink, or do drugs together....to both be so far away from reality??
