Why Glenn Beck’s Media Empire Is Burning Down
Daily Beast ^ | 2/2/16 | Lloyd Grove

Posted on 02/03/2016 5:45:33 AM PST by Duke C.

Glenn Beck was thanked by Ted Cruz in his Iowa victory speech, but for all his ‘mad genius,’ the right-wing media firebrand’s media company has become an abyss of backbiting and paranoia.

Glenn Beck is beset by apocalyptic visions, sinister conspiracy theories, mind-blowing prophecies, mysterious illnesses, miraculous cures, and, yes, copious waterworks.

But of all of the hobgoblins fluttering through his mind, consistency isn’t one of them.

Beck regularly contradicts himself in word and deed—a trait that his less charitable associates call hypocrisy.

A possible clinical diagnosis would be delusions of grandeur and magic thinking ... it is hard to take serious something from a man who is a convert to Mormonism. I don’t know if he’s a Christian, but now sinking in Mormonism he is in the dark.

The Cruz machine will check to see where Beck’s listenership is strongest.

Re: Again, whoever dismisses what he did on his Fox News show is simply revealing that they themselves don’t know jack sh*t about the communist movement.

...OR someone trying to prevent that sort of info from getting out to large numbers of people, for whatever reason, be they hard core lefties or some well-intentioned misguided fool.

It is a fact that the insane can have flashes of brilliant understanding and insight. Glenn has had his share during his decline, mental decline.

That MAY be where we stand with Beck. Although "insane" I think is going way too far. Still don't really know how much of what he does is an act, meant to be entertaining to attract a larger audience. ie, publicity stunt type stuff designed to make more people aware of important issues.

I once counted myself as a friend to Glenn. The current Beck is not mentally healthy, and it is, sadly, no act.

No, those who post on this thread do not deny that there is great dangers in the world, but simply are saying that Glen Beck have issues that he needs to take care of.

Yes, but making fun of Beck is a popular blood sport here.

He is having money problems. Now Glenn doesn’t do a 1 hour Friday show many weeks and he also only has Tomi Lahren weekly it seems. He is imploding. As such Tomi and Dana need a back up plan. Losing Sara Carter and Laurie Dhue and then firing Andrew Willkow and ending other shows looks bad.

Telling sign that Cruz people don’t follow Beck. The endorsement did nothing.
