Baker in charge of Beck site

September 1, 2010 Off By Eric O'Brien

Tom Taylor reports in his email blast today that national talker and recent honor restoration host, Glenn Beck has a new news and opinion website. TheBlaze.com is intended to be different from the host’s main website and, according to Taylor, appears to be taking on a similarity to the Huffington Post. (Obviously not the same viewpoint…)

The managing editor for the website is former WTAE-TV (4) anchor, Scott Baker. Baker was let go from channel 4 in 2006. In 2007 he became co-founder, co-editor and Chief Operating Officer of Breitbart.tv until recently. Baker is still a principal at Hot Metal Media here in Pittsburgh where he co-hosts and produces The B-Cast with Liz Stephan.
