Glenn Beck has launched a news and opinion website that supporters believe has the potential to become "the conservative Huffington Post." TheBlaze.com is being edited by former Breitbart TV host Scott Baker. The site, launched late last night, will focus on "news and information,” Baker tells Mediaite. “Some commentary and opinion stories we’re interested in that are being under-covered or not covered.”

Beck says he plans to be heavily involved in the website's day-to-day maintenance. "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," he wrote in an introductory message. At launch time, Gawker notes, seven of the front-page articles were about Glenn Beck and his projects. (More Glenn Beck stories.)
