Glenn Beck Relaunching The Blaze As Global Libertarian News Network

thegayrepublican:

Glenn Beck announced plans Tuesday during his online television program to expand the news operation in his media company, The Blaze, and refocus it as a libertarian network, opening three foreign bureaus, debuting a nightly newsmagazine show, and relocating his New York staff to showy new offices.

This is an interesting move by Beck, and one which could prove smart based on this last line in McKay Coppins’ piece: “But Beck’s decision to orient the network’s programming around libertarian politics — or at least brand it that way — could be a play for younger, conservative viewers, who find the Republican Party, and the network that most closely aligns with its ideals, Fox, distasteful.”
