Glenn Beck announces mass layoffs at The Blaze
By Joe Concha - 08/31/17 05:09 PM EDT

The Blaze will be conducting mass layoffs in an effort to “become more nimble” and “keep pace with the massive changes" in the media business, Glenn Beck, the company’s founder, said Thursday.

“Today, we said goodbye to just over 20 percent of the combined workforce of Mercury Radio Arts and TheBlaze,” Beck, a one-time Fox News and HLN host, said in a statement.

Beck, 53, said that while he was awarded the Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Award in 2013, he doesn't believe he'd “finish in the top 100" today.

I hope Beck survives this.  I think he provides a much needed dose of honesty.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I enjoy listening to him most of the time.  Occasionally, he goes off his rocker and I turn off the radio.

Unfortunately, the times he goes out in the weeds hurt not just the number of listeners that day, but the number who will tune in in the future. I think that costs him a following that could be greater. He needs a one-day delay or something to give him time to consider how his presentation sounds.

He is past his use by date.  Time to move on.  Do some voice overs.. Maybe a dog food commercial or a sanitary napkin piece..  Something to keep relevant in an ever changing world.

For the last few years, journalism either print, and radio is dying. A family friend who is a shot in the field told me to re invent myself when I was downsized. Freelancing pays absolutely nothing, a pittance.
 
I know so many talented folks who got into it because they wanted to be the next Woodword and Bernstein eking out a living now by the skin of their teeth, or changed careers.

That Glenn Beck accomplished what he has done is amazing. I'm sorry for the people he has to lay off.

Why would you lump Beck into the Limbaugh/Savage group?

I cant take much Glenn Beck but this is sad.   I'd much rather people like Madow and NPR were firing people.

No, he's really not.  But, then I listen to him regularly - I'm just guessing that you don't.
