Glenn Beck, controversial News personality, is losing advertising dollars for his program airing on the Fox News Channel. Corporate sponsors have been distancing themselves from Beck, fearing backlash for being associated with Beck's crazed and dangerous rantings and ravings. Recently Beck called President Obama a racist, just one of many utterances which has outraged his critics and worried his supporters.
Beck is known for his on air hysterics, his crying and manic gesticulations have become infamous. What is unclear is whether Beck is seriously mentally ill, or merely pandering in some gross and obnoxious fashion to the lowest, most base segment of American society. Perhaps it is both.
Regardless, GEICO is the latest corporate sponsor refusing to be associated with Beck. GEICO joins Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, Men’s Wearhouse, State Farm, Sargento and SC Johnson in boycotting the Glenn Beck Show.

Done. It sure would be nice if the moderators would apply these "rules" across the board, rather than ONLY on those threads that make Faux News and the cons look bad.

Glenn Beck losing advertising dollars - myFOX DFW Community Blog post - KDFW FOX 4 viewer submitted news, photos, video and more.
If that were true MSNBC would have been pulled years ago.

ROFLMNAO... WOW!
The 'source' is a message board crank, whose blogging on a local Dallas FOX affiliate ... which does explain the reticence to post the link.
But hey, that's par for the Leftist course... their ONLY means to support anything they 'feel' is to SOURCE THEMSELVES...
But hey... That's idiots for ya.
The great thing about capitalism is people are free who they choose to do business with. Beck has one of the highest ad cards in the business... He may be a LOT of things, but short of sponsors is not one of them...
Now if there were actually some substantive evidence that those companies were refusing to be associated with Becks ideas, I'd personally boycott those anti-American companies, as I boycott the three network news broadcasts and all Leftist cable news channels; and any broadcasts wherein the BOY King is speaking.
But on the whole, an opinion which is based solely upon ANOTHER opinion, of one local crank, on a local blog is as PRECIOUS as it is HYSTERICAL!
Among the advertisers to pull spots from the popular cable talk show are Geico, owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway /quotes/comstock/13*!brk.a (BRK .A 101,383, -750.00, -0.73%) /quotes/comstock/13*!brk.b (BRK .B 3,315, -40.00, -1.19%) ; Procter & Gamble /quotes/comstock/13*!pg/quotes/nls/pg (PG 51.95, -0.35, -0.67%) ; Sargento Cheese; and Progressive Insurance /quotes/comstock/13*!pgr/quotes/nls/pgr (PGR 16.26, -0.17, -1.04%) , according to the companies and Color of Change, one group that is organizing a campaign against the program.
Beck, who made the remarks during another Fox News program late last month, is among the network's biggest draws, pulling in an average of about 2 million viewers.
Geico didn't respond to a request for comment but sent Color of Change an email saying it had "instructed its ad-buying service to redistribute its inventory of rotational spots on [Fox] to their other network programs, exclusive of the Glenn Beck program."
Privately held Sargento told its media buyer not to put any of its ads in Beck's show, said a spokeswoman.
For its part, Fox News said through a spokeswoman that while some advertisers have "removed their spots from Beck," they have just shifted to "other programs on the network, so there has been no revenue lost."
Beck... is among the network's biggest draws, pulling in an average of about 2 million viewers.
Tell that to Don ImusYou want someone off the air? Just stop watching. The minute you have press put out about any sort of organized boycott of the show, you will have the opposite effect intended. You will cause the show to have a larger audience.
a side note yank - I was surprised to see a moderator ask for a link on this one. It is certainly not nearly as bad as many claims I see go unchallenged by the moderators. Afterall, the defections of Beck's sponsors is certainly no secret. It's been widely reported.
Maybe someone "reported" your thread (does Glenn Beck visit these sites?) and that's why they showed up.

That's annoying at best, at worst disingenuous.

Well, based on the banners on this site, I would have to guess that it is controlled by AN arm of the GOP. I guess it shouldn't surprise me that a "moderator" of this site not only made me provide a link, but then pushed it off the "politics discussion" board altogether.
