Eli Lilly and Co. pulls ads from Bill O'Reilly's show; Angie's List stays on

Eli Lilly and Co. says it will pull its advertising from Bill O'Reilly's Fox News show, but Angie's List says its commercials will continue after a New York Times report revealed settlements on allegations of sexual harassment against the host.

The two Indianapolis-based companies are among dozens of major companies re-evaluating their choice to advertise on "The O'Reilly Factor."

"In light of the serious nature of the accusations made against Bill O'Reilly, I can confirm that Eli Lilly and Co. has suspended its advertising on 'The O’Reilly Factor,'" Lilly spokesman Mark E. Taylor said in a statement Wednesday.

Angie's List released a statement about its decision Tuesday.
"We do not have plans to change our ad buy," the company said in the statement. "The advertising strategy we have long used at Angie’s List is meant to reach as many people as possible with news that our service exists and is available to them. We place ads across a wide spectrum of venues intending to reach as many viewers/listeners/readers as possible without taking a position on the viewpoints of the venues themselves. Just as we trust members to make their own hiring decisions, we trust them to make their own media consumption decisions."

1. Angie's List has always been RW anti women

This has been widely discussed at DU over the years. Maybe a good time to spread the word about A L.

2. ...and with a woman's name in their title.

3. Angie's List is a sleazy operation, much like Bill O'.

4. Angie's List charges for things that really

should be without charge. You don't need an Angie's List to find reputable businesses. What a scam they run!
