If you are like me, watching the news or reading the paper can be an exercise in exasperation. It’s so hard to find a place that helps me make sense of the world I see.
Too many important stories are overlooked. And too many times we see mainstream media outlets distorting facts to fit rigid agendas. Not that you’ve ever heard me complain about the media before. Okay, maybe once or twice.
But there comes a time when you have to stop complaining and do something. And so we decided to hire some actual journalists to launch a new website — The Blaze. And we moved fast. We built the team and the site in just two months.
We want this to be a place where you can find breaking news, original reporting, insightful opinions and engaging videos about the stories that matter most.
The Blaze will be about current news — and more. It’s not just politics and policy. It’s looking for insight wherever we find it. We’ll examine our culture, deal with matters of faith and family, and we won’t be afraid of a history lesson.
Flame is a powerful image. It has long stood for a burning truth. A truth that is not consumed. The Blaze will pursue truth. Of course we will make mistakes. Honest mistakes. And we’ll be quick with corrections. We intend to earn your trust and keep it day in and day out with hard work and a lot of transparency.
And don’t expect everything to be deadly serious. Boring is bad. We intend to have plenty of fun.
We’ve put together a solid team of writers and reporters. I intend to keep them busy by sending a zillion story ideas at all hours.
We’re also counting on you. Your comments. Your feedback. Your tips! You will help us build and shape The Blaze.
Thank you in advance.
Glenn Beck

Posted on August 30, 2010 at 8:51pmGranted most people couldn’t attend the Rally , but each person their represented many,and for those of us who watched it on-line (130,363 count During Glenn’s speech ) it was still just as powerful…And … Anything that make liberals head explode is all right by me …

Posted on August 30, 2010 at 8:49pmThank you for what you are doing. We must all do our part and stand up for what is true. Tell your friends, send them a link to sign up.

Posted on August 30, 2010 at 9:25pmBecklover69,
Either bring your argument or head on back to Lefthandistan for talking points. No one’s going to give you a pass on the faux rightwing hate. It’s funny how whenever a conservative bigot/racist/etc. turns up, it’s almost always a leftist in rightwing drag.

Posted on September 8, 2010 at 1:53pmGlenn, I am an agnostic, libertarian-leaning Republican, who has watched you ever since you dropped the theatrics and became serious and informative, in the 41 minutes you have each day. Because of you, I have read your books and ordered all of the biographies Netflix has available on the history of our country. I am a better informed person and really appreciate all that you contribute to your listeners that the main-stream media does not and will not cover. I am an avid Fox News fan, who is grateful for the wonderful rally you hosted. I defend you every chance I get, to those whom you threaten.
If you stay with the God message, rather than the Good message, I probably won’t watch for much longer. I am grateful for those whom you do help, with that message though and hope your listeners grow in numbers. You have obviously hit a nerve, that needed that love. :) My friends are Christian. I live my life by the Golden Rule and high principles and standards.
Congratulations on your successes and this new blog site and all my love to you and your family.
