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.”
Harry Reid’s car crash, as discussed by the commenters of Politico and The Blaze. (He’s OK.)
What’s that? You haven’t wanted to put your foot through your tv screen in about 12 months?
Don’t worry, Glenn Beck is on the case.
So, here’s a story that got buried yesterday for understandable reasons – but still worthy of being brought up. Glenn Beck’s “The Blaze” recently put together a video and story showing that James O’Keefe’s latest endeavor with NPR may have used selective editing in the same way as many of his other clips. In particular, it shows that the two actors downplayed their Muslim Brotherhood involvement after bringing it up (which the clip above shows). Also, other clips show that Ron Schiller was actually paraphrasing two top Republicans in his controversial Tea Party statement, though he voiced agreement. So yeah, for what that’s worth — Glenn Beck’s folks, of all people, may have at least partially vindicated NPR. source
