Conservative commentator Glenn Beck walked out of an appearance on CNN on Sunday after being questioned about the future of his conservative media company TheBlaze.

“Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter brought up a report from The Daily Beast stating that TheBlaze had undergone another round of layoffs and that a deal to sell Beck's news outlet to the Daily Wire had fallen through.

Conservative commentator Glenn Beck walked out of an appearance on CNN on Sunday after being questioned about the future of his conservative media company TheBlaze.

“Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter brought up a report from The Daily Beast stating that TheBlaze had undergone another round of layoffs and that a deal to sell Beck's news outlet to the Daily Wire had fallen through.

“There’s this new headline on The Daily Beast that your company’s in trouble, that you were trying to find a buyer?” Stelter asked Beck.

“Is this related to the point about people not talking to each other? That if you want to create that media company, there’s no interest? What’s going on with that?” he asked.

“Wow,” Beck replied, removing his microphone. “Brian, thanks a lot, I think that’s the most ridiculous question I’ve ever heard.”

“I’m sitting here, ready to talk to you about the detaining of children and parents, trying to break families apart,” Beck continued.

“We want to stop it and you want to play those games? Have a nice day,” Beck said, before walking out of view of the camera.

“What game did I just play?” Stelter said.

“Frankly, I thought Glenn deserved a chance to address those reports,” Stelter said. “I hope he’ll come back and talk about it.”

When you go before the press, you cannot be sure what they’ll ask. You better be ready for anything.

Would they do this to a Leftist? No.

Beck should be ready for this sort of question. It’s not out of line actually.

Just because they won’t treat the Leftist the same way, it doesn’t make a reasonable question out of line when they ask it of you.

He was ambushed by Brian Stelter.

No self-respecting person would appear on CNN.

Glenn Beck was hoist on his own petard.

Everyone who knows anything about Glenn Beck is aware that his business empire is in big trouble. Why wouldn’t a reporter ask about this? Glenn continues to show that he’s lost his edge. He should have expected this.

Glenn Beck ‏ Verified account @glennbeck 35m35 minutes ago

1.”border patrol agent injured by anti-obama mobs.” “Obama’s daughters threatens with Rape, kidnapping and murder by right wing ‘star’”;’gop activist arrested for threatening to rape and kill Dem congressman’s children.” All headlines that would have been written...con’t #Border

Glenn Beck ‏ Verified account @glennbeck 29m29 minutes ago

2. Had the exact same events that occurred this week happened under Obama. The media is so blind. I couldn’t take anymore of it on #cnn and #ReliableSources. But I will lay the problem and solutions out for you on radio tomorrow. Other than solutions: “I don’t care. Do U?”

Beck chose his side during the election. Unfortunately, the Progressive Globalists don’t see him as one of theirs either.

The Brian Stelter show should be renamed "Brian the low IQ liberal show"

Glenn Beck made the mistake of his life when he dipped his stupid face in that bowl of Cheetos. His anti-Trump idiocy is what put the nail in his career’s coffin.

He was ready, or did you not notice that he refused to answer and walked out?

So that’s what you think Trump should do at some point in the tough interviews? That would lead you to think he was ready?

Why wouldn’t a reporter ask about this?

Because that was not the topic of the interview........

It's like me requesting an interview with you about your love for classic cars then blind siding you with questions about your pending divorce.......
