Glenn Beck Announces He Could Go Blind
Fox News Network had the story on July 21, 2010:
"In true Glenn Beck form, sarcasm shone through his tears as he announced he was suffering from a condition that could eventually make him blind to an audience of 6,000 attending his “American Revival” tour in Salt Lake City Saturday.
Following the initial announcement, Beck joked that he was “too darn lazy to learn Braille.” His loyal fans wouldn’t expect anything less.
The Fox News host showed a clip of the announcement Monday night on his show, Glenn Beck.
"Yes, I have a problem with my eyes," Beck said in his announcement. "A couple of weeks ago, I went to the doctor because I can’t focus my eyes ... So I went to the best doctor I could find … he did all kinds of tests, and he said I have macular dystrophy."

Glenn Beck's Golden Advertiser Under Investigation
On July 19, 2010, ABC News reported that authorities are probing Goldline, the gold firm touted by Glenn Beck:
"Authorities in California said today they have opened an investigation into Goldline International, a company that pioneered the practice of weaving its sales pitches into broadcasts by popular conservative political personalities -- including two former presidential candidates and Fox News host Glenn Beck -- to sell hundreds of millions of dollars worth of gold every year.
"There are two main types of complaints we're seeing," said Adam Radinsky of the Santa Monica City Attorney's office, which has launched what it described as a joint investigation with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.
"One is that customers say that they were lied to and misled in entering into their purchases of gold coins," he said. "And the other group is saying that they received something different from what they had ordered."
