Beck's empire collapses with Cruz; ratings fall, malware, bankruptcy soon?

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.

No, this is indicative of the relentless character assassination campaign Donald Trump has been subjected to by the Left/Media/GOPe, and “me too” Cruz campaign.

are sick of having the GOP frontrunner savaged by the entire Establishment power structure that is terrified of losing power, could care less about what's good for America, and wants to preserve a system where every member of the Uniparty has a spot reserved for them at the feeding trough.

slander, derogation, and propaganda will do that to People.

's amusing to me how quickly the Trump-haters ceded the moreal high ground with respect to Donald Trump.

crass and blunt as Trump is sometimes, his foibles pale in comparison to the systematic demonizatoin engaged in by the Cruz/GOPe campaign and Donald Trump's detractors.

's a reason that Ted Cruz is tanking in the polls: he has nothing to offer other than his obsession with Donald Trump.

Tuesday night, and next Tuesday, with Te Cruz trailing a distant third behind even Jon Kasich, it will be time for Cruz to face reality and try to begin helping unify the party and heal the deep wounds which the suicidal GOPe has been inflicting.


One of the primary hate Trump spokespersons for Cruz is Kellyanne Conway. She has lost every election she has been a part of where she has been in a leadership position. In August 2015, she became the president of the Promise I Super-PAC which supports the 2016 presidential campaign of Ted Cruz and is part of a group of 4 super-PACs supporting Cruz. Its main funding was 11 million dollars from hedgefund manager Robert Mercer. She ruthlessly goes after Trump day in and day out.

Just listen to her. She is just nasty and snarky against Trump. Her career will take a hit if Cruz loses. It's one thing to say why your candidate should win, it's another thing to try and lie, cheat and steal ones way to an nomination. She is a big part of the Cruz strategy and comes off as hating Trump.

Admits she is worried Bernie voters might go for Trump. Admitting who the real anti establishment candidates are.
