Mediaite: Conservative radio host and The Blaze founder Glenn Beck announced in a prerecorded message Monday that he was taking a break from his radio and BlazeTV show to focus on allowing his vocal cords to heal. In the video, which was also posted to his Facebook page along with a transcript of his statement, Beck claimed his doctor recommended he take the break: “As you may or may not have noticed over the past couple of months, my voice has been changing a bit.”
