Beck’s new site is called TheBlaze.com, and will be edited by Scott Baker, formerly of Breitbart TV and host of “The B-Cast”. [...]
People will inevitably make the comparison to Arianna Huffington – whether Beck’s role as figurehead behind the site will make The Blaze into a conservative Huffington Post. “The one thing pretty clear around Mercury [Beck's company] is that Glenn is not short on ideas or hesitant on input,” Baker said. “His input is already evident in how the site looks, and that’s what will continue. It will be a continual flow of tips and suggestions and encouragement.”
The site is live here, complete with advertisements from the con-men at Goldline. The banner headline for the lead story is evidently not a joke:
EXPLICIT POETRY GPS PHONES HELP ILLEGALS
Huh?
At this point, Glennbeckistan is almost entirely self sustaining. News from "The Blaze," entertainment from GlennBeck.com, food from Survival Seeds and gold from Goldline. A Beck fan could survive on nothing but Beck for, like, a year now -- wrapped within the warm, blankety epistemic closure of the Beck empire.
Adding... Just noticed something about The Blaze's orange fire icon.
I thought it looked eerily familiar.
Glenn Beck is with the terrorists! IEEEEEEE!
