Glen Beck, Journalist? It's Happening ... Check Out The Blaze

Here comes Glen Beck -- fresh back from his controversial but wildly successful "Restoring Honor" rally -- diving straight into the world of new media.

His theblaze.com. was up and running and pulling in Beckies by the thousands Tuesday.

"Too many important stories are overlooked," Beck said in a column in his inaugural edition. "And too many times we see mainstream media outlets distorting facts to fit rigid agendas. ..."

Whether you like Beck or not, you've got to admit, he hits the nail on the head with that one. It's a refrain we repeat daily at Sunshine State News.

Continued the popular pundit, "... 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."

What will readers find on The Blaze?

"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," Beck explains.

"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."

The Blaze -- give it a whirl.
