Glenn Beck Launches News Website Mostly About Glenn Beck

[meegbear]

Fox News host Glenn Beck just launched a news site—a place for "original reporting, insightful opinions and engaging videos." Currently, seven of the front-page articles are about Glenn Beck and his projects. Let's take a look!

If there's one thing it's hard to get on the web, it's news, opinion, and video. So we're lucky that Glenn Beck has thrown his hat into the "web journalism" ring with a new site, "The Blaze," edited by former Breitbart TV host Scott Baker and launched on Monday evening. Beck told media news website Mediaite that he hopes "everyone who comes to The Blaze finds original reporting, insightful opinions and engaging videos about the stories that matter most."

Sounds great! And look what we found on the front page: "A Message from Glenn." ("The image of flame is a powerful. It has long stood for a burning truth. A truth that is not consumed. The Blaze will pursue truth.") Isn't that nice? And wow, just like that, a story that matters: "HuffPo Pulls Glenn Beck 'Sex Tape' Article." The Blaze? More like, The I'm a-maze-ed at how great this site is!

It's like they know exactly which stories matter! Like for example, stories about newspaper columnists writing complimentary things about Glenn Beck—I can't wait to read "NY Times Columnist on Beck: 'I Underestimated the Man,'" and "Kurtz Defends Beck: He's Not Like Al-Qaeda." Maybe they could just devote a whole section of the site to articles about articles about Glenn?

Of course don't forget great articles like "Black Robe Regiment: The Clergy of 8/28," which is about the rally Beck threw last Saturday, and "The Children of 8/28," covering the rally Beck threw last Saturday, and even "Slideshow: Newspaper Coverage of 8/28," the subject of which is the rally Beck threw last Saturday. It's like, Stories-That-Matterville, population: The Blaze!

1. Palin vs. Beck: Who wins between their soon to be competing cults of personality?

I hope that eventually the sheep that follow either or both of these charlatans will soon realize they're being fleeced and send both Palin and Beck back to the shadows of obscurity.

2. Actually, I'm hoping for a "civil war" between the two factions.

that would serve us Dems much better.

4. Scott Baker - another of those family value Christians

He was an anchor in Pittsburgh. At the time he was married to Ruth Ann Baker who was a RW Christian with an annoying valley girl way of speaking. She did some substitue stints as a radio talk host for a couple of stations, mainly WTAE radio which was affiliated with her husband's TV employer. They had a couple of kids.

Baker divorced her & married another RW Christian Nicole Johnson a former Miss America in 2003. They had a child & divorced in 2006.

Baker's other claim to fame is being the journalism instructor who taught WH reporter/male prostitute Jeff Gannon all he knew about journalism.

I don't know what it is about Pittsburgh anchors being RW whackos. Other claim to fame is O' Reilly's radio shill E.D. Hill who we knew as Edie Tarbox.
