http://www.mediaite.com/tv/glenn-beck-teases-whistleblower-revelation-that-will-take-down-gop-democrats-whole-power-structure/Either Glenn Beck is getting a little jealous of Glenn Greenwald, or he really does have something huge on his hands. On his radio show today, Beck claimed that his staff at TheBlaze has been in touch with a whistleblower who could single-handedly take down pretty much the whole power structure of the United States.
This country I believe is going to be rocked within the next 24 hours, Beck began, with some things that are going on in Washington and beyond. He said that within the next day, he will be sharing revelations with his audience that will greatly divide the nation. You are going to witness things in American history that have never been witnessed before, Beck warned.
Describing the whistleblower who apparently came forward to Beck and TheBlaze, he said, this guy is so afraid for his life that he has said he will only tell his story on live television in front of Congress. Beck stated that the one document from the source that his team has seen would take down pretty much the whole power structure, pretty much everything. He added, It will take down the GOP, it will take down the Democrats, it will take down many members of Congress the American people, you havent even begun to be outraged.

What is scaring the hell out of the corporatists in both parties is that the people are finally coming together against their outrageous assaults on the Constitution, regardless of party.

...
To understand Beck, you just need to fade out the apocalyptic hysterics and pull back the Patton-size flag. Do that, and staring back at you are three words: Mercury Radio Arts. Therein lies everything you need to know about Fox's new megastar.
Mercury Radio Arts is Beck's production company. It is his pride, his joy, and his multiteat cash cow. The company, whose tag line is "The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment," produces or co-produces his radio and television shows, his live events and his many publishing and digital media projects, all of which promote and expand the Beck brand
...
Beck founded Mercury Radio Arts in 2002, the year his talk radio show went national. The name is a respectful nod to the Mercury Radio Theater, the New York drama company founded by Orson Welles, most famous for producing a 1938 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds .
Beck's nod to Welles is a revealing one. Like Beck, Welles made his national name scaring the pants off of gullible Americans with a scripted, emotional act. (Unlike Beck, Welles was a staunch leftist and did not incorporate politics into his radio work.) Beck shares Welles' love of dramatic radio and is very proud of the fact that he directed and acted in the first live commercial radio drama in 40 years for XM Radio. Everything Beck does should be seen in this light.

still waiting?

(43,227 posts)He did this all the time back when he was on Fox.
On his morning radio show, he'd always claim he had some blockbuster revelation and to tune into his afternoon Fox show to find out what it was. And it was always some dumb chalkboard misspelled acronym shit, and never anything substantiated or earth shattering. He just wanted to up his ratings on Fox.
Anyways, Glenn Beck turned out to be the one person who was so batshit insane and annoying even for Fox News, so he got fired. So he started this "Blaze" website for the purposes of running stories that ethical outlets would not because, well, they were bullshit.
He needs to feed the monkey.
It's that simple.
