Glenn Beck’s website The Blaze is coming apart

The site, which Beck launched in 2010 ... has dropped from 25 employees on its editorial side to just six.
“The few people who are still left are looking for an exit because they know The Blaze is over,” the source said.

... reporters were notified in September that their phone and travel stipends had been eliminated.
The Blaze officially closed its New York newsroom, a 35,000-square-foot space in Manhattan, in June.
The remaining employees are working from their homes.

In conversations with more than half a dozen former and current employees of The Blaze, all blamed upper-level management for the site’s troubles.
“We had everything when we started in 2010 ... but management screwed it up with their incompetence,” one source told HuffPost.
