Oh Look, Another Glenn Beck Makeover
patheos ^ | September 20, 2017 | Ed Brayton

Posted on 09/30/2017 9:37:01 AM PDT by conservative98

How many times can one person claim to have had some huge epiphany and that they’re going to do things totally different from now on? Glenn Beck seems intent on finding out. About once a year he declares that he has learned from his past actions and will now be all about good things. The latest attempt at a reset:

I want to get out of the “news and opinion” business and focus on “facts and perspective”.

News is breaking. Let others be first. I want to be driven by facts. I want us to be right and without the hype.

Facts are solid and must be our foundation if we are going to survive as a culture.

Perhaps it is subtle to most but not to me and I hope not to my team. It isn’t just word play. It is a different way to write, speak and behave. To succeed we can’t just say it, we have to live it every second of everyday.

We have been working hard all summer and have had to turn this thing 180 degrees in approach – there is no one modeling this so we all are hoping we get it, but it is going to take us a couple of months. (Thus, the soft launch.).

Hopefully, you’ve seen a difference already in some of our work and headlines.

I am betting that there are more people like me, that want to educate themselves and follow the important events of the day, but are so tired of the spin, bias and hate.

He’s as discombobulated as fellow Never Trumper Megyn Kelly.

I lost all respect for Beck during the primaries when he spent so much of his time calling Trump a Nazi and referring to Trump supporters as Brownshirts. I had no problem with him supporting Ted Cruz, but when he started saying things like Scalia’s death was a sign from God that we had to vote for Cruz, he started sounding like he should be holed up in a compound somewhere like Jim Jones.

I don’t care what make-over Beck announces, I won’t visit The Blaze, and I won’t listen to what he has to say.

Glenn Beck aside, Patheos is a far-left quasi-religious site.

The FACT is Donald Trump has the potential to be the greatest modern day President since Reagan.
And you missed it Blenn Geck.

He was on top of the world, a top TV show on cable, a successful web news/opinion operation, and a succesful syndicated radio program all at the same time. The money was flowing seemingly in a nonstop manner. All he had to do was not do and say stupid things. But the crazy is strong in this man. And here we are.

He lost so much of his audience trying to make sure Hillary won that he has to try to draw them back now. Good luck with that /s.

I don’t care what others say here. Beck is a really good man who is tormented. I think that he was 100% wrong about voting for Trump. His moral equivalence between himself, when he had his TV show, criticizing Maobama, and lying Communists, is rubbish. NOT ONE TIME did he ever utter anything on his show that was not true. He did not contribute one iota to incivility; he merely educated us. But yet, the guy is willing to accept his share of false guilt now. Drives me crazy.
But as a man, Beck is top shelf. He gives to charitable causes until it hurts. I am unwilling to pile on the guy.

He, and his Mormon backers, seem to have thought that he was going to own tv, radio, the internet, print, movies.

First heard of this guy on a radio station in Florida many years ago....he was talking about the same things as now.
I was amazed @ that time how clueless he is!

Years later he showed up on FauxNoose and for a brief moment I thought someone had gotten ahold of him and schoolhoused him to some extent. I was dead wrong.

At best a terrible version of 0’pinhead...and that’s......real bad!

Yeah, he has talked to God before and God told him to sell all his stuff and that his Fox News audience should do the same. The Judgment Days were upon us and God had let him (and only him?) know when.

He is absolutely nuts and no air time, cyberspace, airspace, or printed words should focus on him. He is an egomaniac (all about Glen, all the time...) and I pity his family and employees.

He should have stuck with the facts as he did when on Fox....his tutorials were well presented and interesting. He screwed himself thereafter.

What is the difference between “news and opinion” and “facts and perspective”?

Atta boy, Glenn. Get up and try, try again.

I'll say this much about Glenn Beck, he sure has a knack for picking which hills to die on...again and again and again.
