Glenn Beck’s The Blaze: “Toxic and Fractured” Abyss of Backbiting and Paranoia
If you’ve been paying attention to the very public meltdown over at The Blaze, it’s probably not going to come as much of a suprise to you that conditions inside Glenn Beck’s doofy bugout-bag shillporium are not, as the corporate-speak flacks would say, “In line with the externally proclaimed values.”
The rats have been deserting the ship.
And as all rats do, some of them are squeaking on the way out.
A sampling:
“Employees ultimately gave Schreiber the nickname “Voldemort,” after the Harry Potter villain—a moniker that apparently hasn’t reached Schreiber’s ears until now.

Yet a current Blaze employee said recently: “It’s so toxic and fractured that everybody has eyes in the back of their head. You don’t know who’s about to stab you in the back. So the best thing to do is show up, get your work done, and get out.”
There was a video I saw, back in ‘09 when Beck was still doing his weepy act on Fox, that had Jesus, Death and the Humongous from Mad Max on Glenn’s show, all basically telling him that he was batshit. (Can anyone find that thing for me? I’ve been on a Google Hunt, and can’t figure out WTF happened to it - it was an exceptionally clever cartoon that contained a sequence where Jesus says, “If Sarah Palin farted into a balloon and they put a blonde wig on it? That’s you, Glenn.”)
Of course, in the years since then, that craziness has only metastasized and become mainstream in right-wing thought and deed.
The endgame for The Blaze is indicative of what will happen to all the rest of these demagogues. They will all implode under the weight of Teh Crazee!!! and blame everything but their warped worldview for the crisis.
