Calling Obama racist costs Beck 33 advertisers --- 33 ADVERTISERS !!!

[Tx4obama]

The Associated Press

NEW YORK - Glenn Beck returns to Fox News Channel after a vacation on Monday with fewer companies willing to advertise on his show than when he left, part of the fallout from calling President Barack Obama a racist.

A total of 33 Fox advertisers, including Walmart, CVS Caremark, Clorox and Sprint, directed that their commercials not air on Beck's show, according to the companies and ColorofChange.org, a group that promotes political action among blacks and launched a campaign to get advertisers to abandon him. That's more than a dozen more than were identified a week ago.

1. Well done ColorofChange.org!!!!

:applause:

27. This should be extended to the entirety of any company that supports FOX .

I have said time and time again that the only effective method to shut these liars up is a boycott of their advertisers. When every Democrat in the country threatened to not use their products and demanded responsible reporting the intolerable situation that presently exists could be changed within a few months. This is the only way that the hate mongers can be silenced.

2. That's pretty incredible.

Have those empty ad slots been filled, and if so by whom? Who? Screw it, it's too late.

Anyway, that's great news. That's a lot of money right there.

3. I wonder when Fox will officially announce that Beck...

will be aired without commercial interruption as a public service message to its constituents.

5. He can be esaily replaced with another scumbag.

Ultimately Murdoch is all about the $$$$

24. Doesn't Joe the plumber need a show?

:sarcasm:

[Ozymanithrax]

29. Becks show can alwasy air US Govenment ...

service announcements, though they don't pay top dollar.

4. KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!

7. Thanks

I just filled it out and let my voice be heard.

I put a nice, mildly dramatic, personal comment too.

Hopefully enough people will petition and get his ass OFF of t he ariwaves.

[ingac70]

31. kicking.

[whathehell]

6. This is great news!.....If we could only get simlar reactions

from the sponsors of others just as hateful, IMO, like Rush.

8. The problem is that these companies are still advertising with FOX

It's just that they've moved their advertisements around to different shows. So technically Fox hasn't lost any money. While Beck may suffer, somewhat, the network as a whole doesn't lose one single red cent.

[progressoid]

10. Yep -

a real win would have him off the air and Fox losing revenue.

[ingac70]

11. FOX makes their money through advertisements.

The less big name companies that want to advertise in Becks time slot, the less money his show makes for Murdoch.

[Cali_Democrat]

12. You're right only if demand (and price) for the other time slots rise, making up the difference.

Otherwise it will mean that this is a loss for Faux News because there is less advertising demand for Beck's slot.

[quiller4]

14. Not all of them. A few cancelled their ads with the network; others

only the show.

[progressoid]

9. I might tune in just this once to see how old Glenn tries to spin this.

tee hee hee.

[jasi2006]

13. Yes, but will it cost Rush? Nothing! nt

[onestepforward]

15. I bet he is paying attention though!

I think Rush should be next :)

[bkkyosemite]

16. So how many does he still have that we need to contact. No advertiser no Beck!

[XemaSab]

17. It's nice to get some good news for a change

:D

[depakid]

18. The guy's both offensive AND delusional. Can't see how anyone would want their products or services

associated with that!

[Swamp Rat]

19. Bahahahaha!

:rofl:

[PLR_Writer]

20. Beck is a traitor

Beck wants violence inside the U.S.A. borders and he threatened the life of the Speaker of the House.

If anyone doesn't agree, let's joke about poisoning his college aged daughter or his wife. come on, a joke is a joke. I don't think it is funny regarding my elected official, but it is really funny when we poison Glen Beck's wife or kids.

Now that is a joke!

I am laughing and laughing.

Oh, wait. Terrorism isn't funny.

That is why Glenn Beck is a traitor to the American people.

[lib_wit_it]

21. Good--now he actually has something to cry about!

[Lerkfish]

22. Unfortunately, Beck is the symptom, not the disease

the disease is that these companies were willing to sponsor him up until now, and Fox was pleased and willing to give him a forum.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

23. Too bad Limpball didn't do "it".... just saying

[baldguy]

28. He has, several times.

[madokie]

25. I suspect those 33 are still giving money to fox noise

When it is that you want to undermine our government as they, fox noise, do it matters not where the money comes from or where it goes. It only matters that the show goes on and if I'm right here his show is still going on.

26. Beck's books are gone from Costco.

There was a large display on an endcap with maybe 300 copies of the book last week. Yesterday I couldn't find any. Wonder if they removed them? I do leave in a very wing-nutty area but Costco never sells out like that.

[indepat]

30. Guess that gaggle of 33 were a.o.k. with the hate-filled lies/other garbage Beck spewed

before crossing the line: I'm taking names. :P

[bridgit]

32. Fuck Glenn Beck, prissy little bubble gummer

[Initech]

33. You got to be fucked up if Walmart pulls their sponsorship!

:wow:

[Joanne98]

34. Hannity called him racist too.

[proud patriot]

35. good

[skorpo]

36. Yeah! n/t
