Conservative commentator Glenn Beck walked out of an appearance on CNN on Sunday after being questioned about the future of his conservative media company TheBlaze.
Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter brought up a report from The Daily Beast stating that TheBlaze had undergone another round of layoffs and that a deal to sell Beck's news outlet to the Daily Wire had fallen through.

Theres this new headline on The Daily Beast that your companys in trouble, that you were trying to find a buyer? Stelter asked Beck.
Is this related to the point about people not talking to each other? That if you want to create that media company, theres no interest? Whats going on with that? he asked.
Wow, Beck replied, removing his microphone. Brian, thanks a lot, I think thats the most ridiculous question Ive ever heard.
Im sitting here, ready to talk to you about the detaining of children and parents, trying to break families apart, Beck continued.
We want to stop it and you want to play those games? Have a nice day, Beck said, before walking out of view of the camera.
What game did I just play? Stelter said.
Frankly, I thought Glenn deserved a chance to address those reports, Stelter said. I hope hell come back and talk about it.

On his radio show during the primaries he called Trump supporters “brownshirts”. I immediately shut it off and haven’t listened to any show since. (I was a big supporter...having gone to D.C. twice) So long Glenn Beck.
Fruit bar.
I agree with your take on it.
The question was a cheap shot but that’s what tabloid rags like CNN do. Beck is a flake.
Walking out was probably his only out, he is not Trump or even Pelosie. He has one damaged asset and they were just going to try and kill that.
I am not defending Beck nor could I. He was great on FOX and was on his way for a while and I tried to catch him when I could but he lost me entirely after going NeverTrump and I won't be listening to anything he has to say any time soon. Heck I haven't even forgiven Levin, may never.
My only point was Beck couldn't defend the attack that was coming, why flog a dead horse.
It was a response reaction, but it wasn't what he should have done.
I would have admitted that things weren't as good as they have been in the past, but that (I) he couldn't say a whole lot because there are behind the scenes negotiations going on that prevent me (him) from talking much about it.
An admission that other troubled times had come and gone would also deflect a little.
He didn't need to walk out.
TRUMP BROKE ME!!!
I saw a replay today and now I think he should have walked out before he did, he had plenty of reason.
