The fracking billionaire brothers behind Shapiro’s Daily Wire website are looking to expand their conservative media holdings—that seems to include Glenn Beck’s crumbling empire.

The people who head Ben Shapiro’s conservative news site are in talks to buy Glenn Beck’s troubled media empire TheBlaze, The Daily Beast has learned. Two sources familiar with the conversations said this appears quite likely, though the deal isn’t final.

Reached for comment, Shapiro—who heads The Daily Wire, which is eyeing TheBlaze—did not dispute this report.

“TheBlaze welcomed us to the space as allies from the beginning, and we’re always looking for ways to strengthen our partnerships with our allies,” he said.

A spokesperson for TheBlaze did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

They are gobbling each other, and not giving a shit to the people. It's Me-ism at its worst.

Is happening recently. With Bannon out at Breitshart , Devin Nunes starting up his own ‘publication’ with campaign funds , and now this.

It’s a weird time when Fox News feels entirely like a state media trump puppet org I wonder if these smaller fish are anticipating that Fox may not be able to shoulder all the bullshit or if maybe they are hearing that things might shift in a major way and they are preparing to fill the vacuum with their own cancerous growth of a company?

Might be my wildest dreams but I do think that with Hannity’s apparent collusion with Assange in the very least he might be headed for a meeting with Mueller. What might that do to Fox?
