The Daily Beast ^ | 04/28/2016 | Lloyd Grove

Posted on 04/28/2016 1:12:44 PM PDT by austinaero

The axe fell once again on Glenn Beck’s crumbling media empire Thursday as employees in the New York and Washington offices of The Blaze, Beck’s multi-media online operation, along with business staffers in Los Angeles and the documentary unit in Columbus, Ohio, were told their jobs are on the chopping block, according to multiple sources who spoke The Daily Beast on condition of anonymity.

the Blaze enterprise is largely a spin-off ... still dependent... on the GB radio program.

The problem is, the GB radio program’s become unlistenable...(just like Mark Levin’s program)... because its been derailed into being just a Propaganda Shill Outlet....for one and only one candidate...over and over and over and over, hour after hour after hour...

really depressing. (That’s not a comment on their choices of candidates, its a comment about how they’ve destroyed the listenability of their radio programs...)

According to sources, Beck’s frequent travel in support of the presidential candidacy of Sen. Ted Cruz, among other distractions, has prevented him from appearing daily on his syndicated radio program and live-streaming television show, resulting in declining advertising revenue for Mercury Radio Arts, Beck’s privately held parent company.

Cruz is cratering. Beck is bankrupt. I can't wait to see what horrors befall Levin. If we're lucky, he'll be kidnapped by terrorists who superglue his mouth shut....

“I worked for a guy like that once, long ago. He had ME fire a young clerical-level single mother - who was doing her job just fine - because of ‘cutbacks.’ As I was giving her her walking papers he got into the limo that took him to his private plane that flew him to his hacienda in Cabo San Lucas. Soon thereafter I quit.”

What a TOUGH position to be in. I would have been sick over it. Sounds like you did the right thing.

I once thought Glenn was somebody that did important work exposing the corruption.

His going all in for Cruz is costing him dearly.
I take no pleasure in watching him implode.

-—the same time that Beck was purchasing a private jetliner
.
.
.
had no clue Beck could afford a “jetliner” much less it’s upkeep

was this being maintained by Cruz PACs or does he earn that much?

How much did Beck get from the Cruz?

Seems to be the pattern...

Glenn Beck rolls in cash from Cruz-supporting Super-PAC

The work Beck did on the establishment of a modern caliphate was top notch.

That and the communists in the WH.

So Beck was chastising his minions that he was going to have to take millions from his own wallet,,back in Feb this year, according to Breitbart. All while Beck was buying luxury items for himself.

The majority owner harangued his minions: “We are three million dollars in the hole! That means we are three million dollars from profit. That means I have to take three million dollars out of my wallet, and I have done this now for several years. I don’t have money left. I’m out… I need three million dollars [in savings] by the end of the year. If we wait, it’s gonna be massive, bloody cuts.”

Massive, bloody cuts soon followed, as the debt ballooned to at least $5 million and as much as $10 million, according to current and former Blaze employees.

On May 11, 2015—a day Beck staffers have dubbed “Black Monday”—dozens were laid off in New York and the Dallas suburb of Irving, Texas. There, Beck had purchased a 72,000-square-foot studio complex and corporate headquarters in the Las Colinas neighborhood, and built his fake Oval Office.

The fired employees (one of whom, a big, bluff Irishman who supervised the lighting for the New York studios, broke down sobbing at the news) received their notice not from Beck, who had personally recruited many of them, but in antiseptic phone calls from the corporate HR department.

Beck, meanwhile, showed up at Las Colinas driving his brand new Maybach, proudly showing off the nearly-$200,000 sleek black sedan that he’d just purchased to add to his fleet of luxury vehicles, including an armored, bulletproof Mercedes limo and a similarly outfitted Chevy Suburban.

Beck, whose net worth Forbes puts at more than a $100 million, was crying poormouth, but he had also purchased—through Mercury Radio Arts, named for the production company of Beck’s hero, Orson Welles—the opulently appointed DC-9 that had been owned by his late friend, right-wing billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife.”

What a disgusting PIG!

I sure hope the layoffs include that guy that laughs non-stop at Glenn Beck’s jokes.

Maybe Crooze should take it over. Isn’t he supposed to have dominion over all the world’s assets anyway? May as well start with Beck’s.
