Powerful conservative media personality Glenn Beck came to lead his own multimillion-dollar media empire. Hosting programs on CNN and Fox News from 2006 to 2011, Beck later started his own television channel, TheBlaze TV. Subscriptions for the channel exceeded 300,000 in its first year of operation, earning Beck forty million dollars according to the Wall Street Journal. A prodigious author, Beck has topped the New York Times Best Seller List four times. This compelling volume offers a balanced view of this
often controversial figure in right-wing politics. Chapters discuss Beck’s obscure childhood, his start in television and creating an on-air persona, and his ability to build a media empire.
