Glenn Beck may have hitched his wagon to the wrong train, specifically a Texas Senator who broke down on the corn fields of Wisconsin.
With Ted Cruz’s poll numbers slipping to third place, Glenn has a lot of egg on his face. After claiming Justice Scalia was killed by God to show the US people how important Cruz was, and comparing Trump supporters to Nazis, Beck’s program audience shrunk to a paltry size: essentially those who like Ted Cruz.
Now that Ted is going under in the polls, with a recent FOX poll showing him tied for 3rd, Beck’s empire is collapsing like a house of cards. Beck’s “Flagship” and income source, “THE BLAZE” website is dropping readership rapidly.
Malware concerns:
It turns out Glenn Beck has been spreading around something vile other than his horrible opinions. No, it’s not herpes (probably). Security firm Invinceareports that on July 1, Beck’s site The Blaze unintentionally transmitted malware through embedded advertising to many of his subscribers.
Invincea says that on July 1 and possibly on other dates, one of The Blaze’sadvertisers deliberately redirected users to a “Polish recipe website” that provided a lot more than pierogi ingredients. Unwary readers were affected with a drive-by exploit called Kazy or Kryptik, trojans that open holes in security software to give hackers access to unsuspecting users’ personal information.
Top execs leave the Blaze, Beck stuck with boring yes men:
Kerry was also responsible for leading vendor negotiations, regarding media related services. He even interfaced with CNN Headline News & Fox News teams in collaboration of The Glenn Beck TV show.
Now, Joseph Kerry is no longer associated with TheBlaze, and is instead a partner with Littlecloud Ventures, which is a marketing consulting firm.
Earlier, Chris Balfe, who was Beck’s CEO, and Joel Cheatwood, who was president and chief content officer, also left TheBlaze. Both were responsible for assisting Beck with launching TheBlaze TV.
According CNN, the two men are building a digital media company, in which they will serve are partners.
Now the ratings are dropping like a stone.
He has lost it over a few years.
Tell us one on FR who is voting DEM? You CANNOT.
That ticked me off too. You are slamming the Mom and Pops that keep your affiliates on air? Sick. My Wife and I were both in radio and she is in Advertising, why would you bite the hand that feeds you?
I am beung told by some of my IT friends who are all pro-Trump by the way and being disenfranchised of their jubs by foreignrrs and the entire open borders, globalist elite, that some nutjobs - likely Becker types - are trying to shutdown websites that are pro-base, anti-establishment, with web attacks that cause the pages to go down. Fyi.
No, it’s not really very important to me whether or not GB is a fraud.
But apparently it is to you, so go ahead and have fun with it. I have more important things to do, so I think we’re done here.

Anyone for Cruz?
It’s absolutely necessary. The Cruz supporters are sucker punchers around here. They hit and when someone his back, they cry ‘victim’.
At least the Democrats are honest about their intent.
The Republican Party has proven itself only interested in maintaining power.
They have supported every single initiative that Obama has presented.
They have abdicated every constitutional power, have abjured every principle of ethical governance, and have abandoned even the pretext of representing their constituencies.
They have openly attacked their own members and conspired to destroy conservative candidates.
They have regularly lied, have committed criminal acts, have refused to prosecute such acts, regardless of party or law.
Ultimately, they have established a privileged class in direct opposition to the very Constitution that they swore to uphold.
That GOP?
Sometimes hatred is warranted.
I got maliciously hit and my laptop is still NOT right.
THIS $129.00 LATER!
Yikes! I’m sorry.
In showbiz, the old saying is, there's no such thing as bad publicity. Wow, is that not true.
Don’t weep for Stabby the Klown. He has millions socked away and I’m sure an off grid property all stocked up for when the SHTF. Weep not for crazy Glenn.
He was doing a good job until he started to attack people who were defending Cliven Bundy and went crazed when Trump questioned Obama’s birth certificate and origins. He slowly melted down. He was payed to attack people who even slightly disagreed with him. Beck also started pushing open borders then he thought he was some god and was firing people who disagreed with him at his company while he misspent the companies money. So he is close to bankruptcy.
True. The Blaze team never fixed issues. Lots of people quit the site because of malware. People used to complain about it daily.
When?
Not picking a fight
I found him a neoabolitiionist race baiting south basher early on
He was a lib well into middle age
I could stomach him on New York radio way back but on Fox I saw what he really was
He loves Martin Luther King and hates Teddy Roosevelt....questions Jefferson and of course worships Lincoln like Levin does
And wishes so bad he was chosen too
He’s a damn kook
