Wow!
It seems the name Glen Beck generates an auto-response of vitriol. I heard the same broadcast, and he only happened to be quoting another news source.
But for all the GB haters out there, I’m looking forward to seeing your alternative media network who’s sites doing better than the NYT is just 3 years, and media experts say at this rate the Blaze is growing, it may rival Fox within 4 years.
Or is it that a person has to agree with everyone one of your positions, else get bashed. I have disagreements with every conservative out there on something. Doesn’t mean I trash them all. Besides Beck says (and leans) more libertarian anyway.
I play the alternative talk media while working. I find myself more often switching over the Blaze radio whenever I hear a certain un-named talk host start prattling on about products from company ran by sodomite lefties who won’t spend an dime advertising on his program (yet has more cash on hand than the federal government). Or worse, as soon as some kid calls in - you know the next 5-10 minutes of air time is going to be wasted.
Did you hear about that situation where Children’s Services in Mass (DCF) all but kidnapped a child from her parents for medical reasons? I can tell you factually it was media pressure from the Blaze network that generated so much media attention the locals had to jump on board and get the kids back into her parents custody. In this Real American’s opinion, we need media outlets like that as much as we need the Second Amendment.
Yeah, so I find myself listening more and more to the Blaze for not just talk, but news. Beck isn’t the only one on the network. And with the ability to take the streaming video from the Blaze and go right to my TV via ChromeCast, I can GUARANTEE informative, quality entertainment for my family in the evening, and opposed to the rot-gut spewing from the other networks.
(Full Disclosure: I happen to be in the media business, so I have some inside baseball knowledge of this stuff)
I suspect Beck (and his investors) are going to make a killing as they are tapping into the market that Hollywood and Madison Avenue have left behind. No wonder Sarah Palin and even a bunch on the left are contemplating doing something similar. Look for it to be the new wave in media evolution. I predict that by 2020, broadcast media will be for live sporting events only, the rest you’ll watch on your own schedule.
So choose your poison: A cry-baby visionary hell-bent on building an alternative media empire, one who will retire on children’s book revenue, or a place where we can sit around a bitch while the world goes to hell in a hand basket.
Just my $.02
