I’m not sure that Beck drinks now. So, I don’t think that’s one of the top 3 things he’s interested in. He is losing his followers and he can’t stand that. It’s of his own making - especially, when he took off for the border with his truckload of teddy bears and soccer balls.
I think I stopped paying any attention to him a few months before that. But, that stunt certainly confirmed my decision.
In the past, he was, at least.... funny. At least part of the time. Now, it's DOOM & GLOOM all the time, only broken by sanctimonious blather. No thanks.
I think you are right.
Part of it is probably due to the vitriol toward Trump. Part of it is they crying thing.
But there’s something else he’s been doing that I think is driving people away. It seems like every problem that comes down the pike, he automatically wants to go to the “what would MLK/Gandhi do?” card. I’m sorry, but you’re speaking to conservatives. We are more interested in what would Washington do? What would Jefferson do? What would Reagan do?
Martin Luther King was, by his own admission, a “Democratic Socialist”. As in, the same as Bernie Sanders. Gandhi is always quoted by people as “liking Christ but not Christians”. You can’t keep quoting people who are heroes of the left to a right wing audience and think that at some point there wont be some disillusionment. We aren’t all going to get all giddy about singing “We Shall Overcome”.
That was when I canceled my subscription to GBTV/theblaze. I was a charter member, signing up before it even officially went on-air after he left Fox.
Back when he was on Fox, he did a lot of great work, which he continued for awhile. Then he started preaching too much and I started looking at him through a different viewpoint. It became too much about turning to God and stopping the “fight” because fighting could never win. I believe his alliance/reliance on the Huntsman family is to blame for at least part of his troubles.
I believe he lost so many subscribers after his teddy bear stunt at the border that TheBlaze is in danger of failure. If he fails, it’s his own fault.
