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.

I do not think Beck’s “hitching his wagon to the wrong team “ has anything to do with his empire collapse, if it is.
I think it has every thing to do with Beck going completly bonkers/Bonkers about damn near everything, from religion to politics to family.
I think he is really coming completely unglued and may need serious help.

Back in the day, Beck had some of the best comedy bits in the business. Roll on the floor funny. Then he decided he was a prophet or something and his show became repetitive, pedantic and boring. It hasn’t been entertaining for years.

The sad thing is I think the people around him are propping him up to keep their cash cow going as long as they can. If they really cared about him, they’d get him off the air and get him the psychological help he desperately needs.

The Word says a couple of things.
1. One needs to have a discernment of Spirits. Just because a person says they are aligned with God one must find collaborative evidence either thru the Holy Spirit telling you or other sources. For Beck to be running around claiming that Cruz is the same is Moses is just plain whacky.
2. “the wages of sin is death” is not always a literal death. One can die spiritually and I believe that may be the case with Beck. He appears to be a dry alcoholic which means many of the addictive behaviors he had when he was drinking are still manifest sans the booze. And this whacky behavior is one of them
I will pray for Glen. I won't mock him.But I hope and pray he gets some spiritual and psychological help because he's in a spiral.

I can’t even listen to Dana Loesch anymore. She used to be the voice on my drive home from work. She went from mildly-annoying MILF to full-on, sputtering TDS. I have no doubt she got her marching orders from Beck.

Briehtbart had the good sense to dump their anti-Trump employees. The Blaze..not so smart

[smoothsailing]

LOL!

[smokingfrog]

Garbage that doesn’t deserve any hits from FR, but if it fits your agenda I guess it’s okay.

"The vindictive nature of the posts at Free Republic has gotten darker and darker with the Trump team postings. This is indicative of the Trump spiteful leadership."

Instead of saying:

you wanted to say "Trump made me do it.....I was a normal conservative until Trump sent out that encoded instruction".

[Sequoyah101]

Never was a beck fan but listened to him and thought some of his historical material was good. He is a wack job though and departed sanity a long time ago.

I’m sure he has money salted away so if his network goes belly up he will be fine financially at least.

I dumped Beck back when he came out in support of illegal aliens.

[smokingfrog]

Is that really necessary?

[Vision Thing]

Lol! You funny.

Vote Trump!

[Paradox]

The vindictive nature of the posts at Free Republic has gotten darker and darker with the Trump team postings.

Some people have become real a-holes on here, that's for sure. Its really been a slow process, but this primary season has really brought them out.

That said, Beck lost me a long time ago, he does come across as somewhat unstable, with his dramatic proclamations. I actually feel bad for him.

[Vision Thing]

Politically correct response from a cruznadian. So appropriate.

[Pride in the USA]

ping!

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

I dumped him 5 years ago. When was he good??

[stratboy]

Someone queue up the Power Boothe Tombstone pic.

[stratboy]

Hopefully Mark Levin will not be too far behind.

Is that really necessary?

It absolutely is. Glenn Beck is a fake and a fraud, and if you need additional evidence, check out this interesting video, it's only about 3-1/2 minutes and well worth it:
