There is speculation that he could start a Trump media network as a right-wing alternative to major news outlets

How would a new right-wing news outlet be an alternative to all the current major news outlets?

The main ones are much more coy. Slightly less sexual harassment. Tawdry without delving into active pornography. A twinge less incitement of rioting.

There are lots of right wing news outlets, but Trump could start the first white supremacist outlet.

Also, I am sure that Donald’s words and behaviour the past 18 months will in no way impact his ability to obtain advertising sponsors.

Glenn Beck is apparently trying to dial it back (he is refusing to endorse Trump and apologized for his part in “ripping the country apart”), so there’s a market opening there.

Mostly because his “media empire” has been crumbling to rubble over the last year.

It’s a trick, get an axe…

Yes, but Glenn Beck’s “dialing it back” was a major contributing factor to the decline of his media empire. His “sorry for tearing the country apart” apology tour began around early 2014 and his base has been deserting him ever since. Beck no longer appears excited about peddling that brand of crazy and it’s a sellers’ market right now.

Hasn’t he always played the “independent not Republican” card?

I’m not arguing with you here, I’m just curious if there’s a good insidery article on Blaze’s collapse.

For over a year, there’s been a groundswell of people trying to get Trump Tower in Vancouver renamed.

Is anyone else expecting him to lose the election, then die in front of a pile of cocaine while his empire crumbles around him?

‘Say hello to my little hands’.

He probably has, but until the last couple of years he seemed pretty OK associating with the alt-right and painting Obama as an antichrist-like demagogue intent on destroying America.

I don’t know of any in-depth insider articles but the recent Jon Ronson Kindle single The Elephant In the Room touched on Glenn Beck and how he’s fallen out with the rest of that crowd since 2014.
