TurboTax drops Glenn Beck, whose show has gone without ads for more than a month in the UK.
Edited on Thu Mar-11-10 07:48 PM by TheBigotBasher
Yesterday, StopBeck.com announced that TurboTax has become the 120th advertiser to drop Fox News host Glenn Beck. In an announcement on Twitter, TurboTax stated:

Thanks everyone for your feedback, & for reminding us of what we value. We’ve pulled advertising from the Glenn Beck show.

TurboTax’s decision to pull out of Beck’s show came just two days after the company began running ads, according to StopBeck.com. Additionally, “the broadcast of Glenn Beck’s show in the U.K. has been running without any advertisers for over a month now.” TurboTax’s announcement comes as Beck has begun http://www.pr-inside.com/glenn-beck-endorses-tax-resolution-services-r1768694.htm">endorsing Tax Resolution Services, the latest in his line-up of questionable endorsement deals.

How long can Murdoch Jr continue to provide Glen Beck with free, unpaid for prime tv time to spread his hate?

He runs Sky on behalf of daddy. Much to the annoyance of shareholders.

4. I'm surprised that the UK hasn't invaded America for unleashing that atrocity on them.

7. They do not need hate masks to make them look ugly.
Their hate and bigotry stand out to anyone who has at least half a brain.
