All have confirmed pulling their advertising from Fox News' "Glenn Beck" program in light of his comments that President Obama is a racist. They did not pull their spots from Fox News, but rather requested that their ads do not air during Beck's 5PM program.
Beck can argue that he was merely exercising his rights of free speech [and he was] but so are these companies that refuse to air their ads during his "show".
I am so happy about that. Imagine even WalMart and Geico. Ouch. It most hurt.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha
ReplyDeleteGlenn Talks and Money Walks!!!!!
There are so many times that I am so happy I am Canadian without full cable so I have little access to FoxNews.
Exactly! And kudos to those companies do doing so.
ReplyDeleteMore should leave, by his ratings are so high. Fox will keep him for that
ReplyDeleteI'm glad these left and wish all of them would. Sorry to hear that, WM, because it's probably true.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that Glenn Beck's stupidity rings a bell with too many Americans. The moral majority seems to line itself up with bait-mouth Beck.
ReplyDeleteWhat keeps people listening and agreeing with this tripe? I would guess abject Patriotism, the stupid side of Christianity, and a great love of hate.
