Glenn was always on the edge of insanity, and his most recent business decisions show that he has lost his edge. He now appears to have gone over that edge.

Really? Would you care to elaborate Publius for those of us not in the know?

What decisions would those be?

I think the moment it went sour was when he took the side of the government against Cliven Bundy. The people backing Bundy in that confrontation were Beck's base, and he insulted that base. I watched him bring David Barton and others onto his show to argue for non-violence when Beck's base had had enough and wanted that confrontation. In the end, it was the threat of violence from an enraged citizenry that prompted the BLM to back down. Beck looked like a weakling after that incident.

At that time, Beck bought the entire Las Colinas studio complex from NBC. He had only owned the building that his company was using, but now he bought the rest of the complex. He visited Paramount Studios in Los Angeles to see how studio space was set up and maintained because he wanted to turn the rest of Las Colinas into a movie production unit where he could make his kind of movies. This involved a lot of capital, and Beck made that investment just as his base was beginning to leave him. Add to that the reluctance of Comcast and other cable outlets to provide Blaze TV to their customers.

Beck burned through a lot of his cash at the worst time, and key members of his management team left.

Beck next approached CNN to get his old TV show back and indicated a willingness to turn left. The folks at CNN added insult to injury when they made that correspondence public. Beck looked like as ass and a loser.

The most recent tirade makes me think he is on the verge of losing it all. His operation in Texas may not last.

Used to love Glenn and crew. But they seem to have lost their edge.

By mistake I caught them laughing hilariously two days ago on the morning program, about the possibility that a prayer bracelet could inadvertently cause a police officer’s mother or relative to be shot and killed. While only hypothetical, this particular bit of situational comedy was a stretch that didn’t quite reach the level of being funny.

Bottomline, I’m sorry to say it, but these guys suck. The local talent on the radio has them beat. John Boy and Billy are a lot more fun to listen to.
