Glenn Beck has already established himself as a star of radio and cable TV, as well as a best-selling author. Now he's expanding his media empire with the launch of TheBlaze.com, a "fiery" news and opinion website promising fresh insight on "the stories that matter most." Will the Fox News host, fresh off his massive rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial, be as much of a success on the web as he has been everywhere else?

Beck's devoted fans will follow him anywhere: The Blaze could become a "conservative Huffington Post," says Josh Duboff at New York magazine. Beck has made it clear his golden touch will be everywhere on the site, from the conservative, hot-button stories it highlights to the opinions it chooses to push. And "there's really no reason to think that Glenn's fervent fan base, which followed him in great numbers to Washington, D.C., this past weekend, won't take the leap online with him."
