Many people take jobs and view them as just that...jobs. There are “jobs”, and then there are “good jobs.” I suspect this job falls into the latter category.
I don’t know how much input and influence she will have on the content of the site. But, I do know she will be responsible for the “bottom line”. Her job is dependent on the “bottom line”. If all of a sudden...or even over a period of time...the content on Glenn’s site starts skewing left and visits to his site start to fall off, then it’s just a matter of time before there will be someone else filling that position.
Don’t be surprised that people in the media business see their jobs as just, well, business.

The appointment of Ms. Morgan to The Blaze (which Mr. Beck named after the biblical story of Moses and the burning bush) raised some eyebrows at The Huffington Post because of her shift to a polar opposite political point of view. But she said in an interview, “I am a very apolitical person. I’m a business person, who is absolutely fascinated by brands.”
The aim of The Blaze, Ms. Morgan said, is to broaden beyond politically based information to cover other topics of interest to Mr. Beck, whom she called “a widely-known conversationalist on a lot of topics.”
She acknowledged that some of his views had been seen as incendiary and had led to some difficulty in selling to national advertisers. But she said, “Glenn has built for himself quite an enormous brand” and the purpose of The Blaze is to “leverage the huge loyalty of that audience.”
