Ok, before all of you Glenn Beck haters come rushing in to hurl hate filled epithets…just go ahead and save your breath, or rather your typing skills. If you don’t like what he has to say, then just don’t visit the site. It’s that simple.
I don’t like what Rachel Maddow has to say so I simply don’t go there. Well except for the occasional guilty pleasure of snickering and using her for blog fodder. But I NEVER leave any venomous comments.
That being said, Beckamania seems to be building into a full fledged media empire. On Monday, Glenn Beck added a website called The Blaze to his media empire. I guess having a radio and talk show and hugely successful Restoring Honor Rally weren’t enough.
So he premiered The Blaze. a website that he says will be “a place where you can find breaking news, original reporting, insightful opinions and engaging videos about the stories that matter most.”
In 2009, Beck is reported to have earned $32 million through a mix of books, radio, TV, digital media, and speaking fees.
The Blaze will be edited by Scott Baker, formerly of Breitbart TV, who told Mediaite that the site plans “news and information… commentary and opinion stories we’re interested in that are being under-covered or not covered.”
Beck said he was frustrated with the way the media covered his “Restoring Honor” rally this weekend.
“Too many times we see mainstream media outlets distorting facts to fit rigid agendas,” he wrote on The Blaze. “Not that you’ve ever heard me complain about the media before. Okay, maybe once or twice. But there comes a time when you have to stop complaining and do something. And so we decided to hire some actual journalists to launch a new website.”
Beck added that the website “will be about current news — and more. It’s not just politics and policy. It’s looking for insight wherever we find it. We’ll examine our culture, deal with matters of faith and family, and we won’t be afraid of a history lesson.”
So just how did they come up with the name The Blaze?
“The image of flame is a powerful,” he said. “It has long stood for a burning truth. A truth that is not consumed. The Blaze will pursue truth. Of course we will make mistakes. Honest mistakes. And we’ll be quick with corrections. We intend to earn your trust and keep it day in and day out with hard work and a lot of transparency.”
Glenn I hope you you read this because Jesus Christ is the answer and this world need to realize it before it is to late the bible is warning us and this country better take it serious and start seeking Jesus Christ with their whole hears there whole mind and souls .
thanks for your time Dave Rietdorf
