For those keeping score at home, Beck's show has lost 20 ad sponsors. To refresh your memory, here's a list of the companies Beck has lost thanks to his comments, courtesy of the organization who began the campaign because of said comments, ColorOfChange.org:
• Progressive Insurance
• Proctor & Gamble
• Lawyers.com
• GEICO
• Men's Wearhouse
• Sargento Cheese
• Wal-Mart
• CVS
• Best Buy
• Travelocity
• Allergan (maker of Restasis)
• Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services)
• Broadview Security
• Re-Bath
• Radio Shack
• Roche
• Sanofi-Aventis
• SC Johnson
• State Farm Insurance
• GMAC

Those are some pretty big a/c's. I wouldn't buy advertising on a show that's so divisive.
I agree with you. I'd say the higher ups at Fox Snooze will be doing some serious "soul searching" about the profit and loss impact this will have for them. My guess?
as many sponsors are pulling out i venture to say there are twice that many ready to jump on board - i dont think chris matthews will be getting a tingle up his leg anytime soon.
If what you say is true, then I guess the media MAY have slanted it toward their own political beliefs. So be it. I have never been a Beck fan. He tries so hard to come across as "sincere", even resorting to bawling on camera and over the radio air waves as proof of his passion. I find it embarrassing that a TV host feels he has to do that in order to MAYBE boost his ratings a notch or two. He's a phony IMO, and Fox Snooze will eventually cut their ties with him in the end.
I can take O'Reilly, believe it or not,.....and Greta too. Sponsors are extremely fickle. In the economic state we're in now, no thanks to the former regime, money must be spent wisely. Don't be surprised if some, if not all, of the current sponsors decide to boycot Glen Beck's sorry azz excuse for a show.
Oh what a difference a year can make. This is good.........
