BREAKING: UPS Announces It Will Stop Advertising On Bill O’Reilly’s Show

In response to our Stop Supporting The O’Reilly Harassment Machine campaign, UPS told us yesterday that it was investigating whether to continue supporting O’Reilly’s show. “We are sensitive to the type of television programming where our messages and presence are associated and continually review choices to affect future decisions,” spokeswoman Susan Rosenberg told us.

Today UPS announced it will stop advertising on O’Reilly’s show. Here is the statement UPS emailed out just moments ago:

Thank you for sending an e-mail expressing concern about UPS advertising during the Bill O’Reilly show on FOX News. We do consider such comments as we review ad placement decisions which involve a variety of news, entertainment and sports programming. At this time, we have no plans to continue advertising during this show.

Here’s a graphic of the email statement we received:

Thank you UPS! We need more corporate sponsors of O’Reilly to follow UPS’s lead. Let’s keep up the pressure. Please sign onto our campaign and tell your friends to do so as well:

    Wow, between the time I took to register and attempt to post this in the last thread, a new one has been created. In any event, what a big victory for fair-minded people every where. O’Reilly peddles trash and if advertisers choose not to support him, well, that’s America isn’t it? Right Bill-O?


  2. livelongandprosper says:

    RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!

    Well done TP management and posters. He bullied the wrong people.


  3. gavriel says:

    That’s right, BillO. You just got your butt kicked by insects! BOOYAH!

  7. StratRat says:

    This is a huge announcement. We DO have the power to illuminate the dishonesty and violent rants O’Reilly is known for. We have shown the advertising world that it has a choice: either continue to support uninformed and bigoted personalities or cut them off where it counts – in the pocketbook. Well done, TP!!!

  29. ElBruce says:

    I don’t know, I could see a pretty effective corporate tie-in. Check it out: Bill O’s producers and cameramen are chasing some poor woman down the street, they turn into an alley, she’s trapped. Then they start yelling at her, when out of the blue they hand her a UPS package! It would reinforce the brand’s image of being able to deliver packages anywhere…


  30. NOLIESPLEASE says:

    Thank you UPS…You support us…we support you! Yes I will tell others about your corporite policies and how UPS add the the community in a positive manner.

    You just know BillO is going to go ballistic with the hyperbolic rhetoric on his show, later.


  47. DavidHart says:

    I wish that I could start a poll on this site. What form of self-victimization will Billo employ? My guess is the stifling of his free speech which is the Swiss Army knife of outrage for these gasbags.

    Do they come any dumber than this? Nimrod, let’s be clear: Billo is being dropped by UPS because of what Billo said, not what TP said. TP simply made Billo’s advertisers aware of his own illogical and violent rants. Does that simple idea mean anything to you?

    BTW, I am glad you can write your own letter. That is a big step towards growing up – way to go.

    I think that you are outnumbered, as UPS would not have done this if the ratio of thumbs down on O’Reilly messages hadn’t significantly ournumbered the prO’Reilly sentiments.

    Try and get it. Limbaugh, O’Reilly and such blowhard chartacter assassins are sinking these days. Limbaugh is less popular than GW Bush, you know.

    “Number One Cable Show” does not override a company’s concern for its public image. It’s always about money for you guys, isn’t it?

    All the money in the world would not have kept the Titanic from sinking…

    As a long-time poster (previously as Impeachcheneythenbush), many of you know I’m certainly not a troll. However, this kind of action makes me very nervous. Let’s not forget that what our side can do, their side can do as well. Pressure put on advertisers for what may be interpreted by some as essentially free-speech issues can also be used against US. The real issue here is that Bill is breaking the law by stalking and harassing those who he disagrees with. Amanda and everyone else that O’Reilly has done this to needs to contact the State Attorney General in whichever state it occurred, and press charges!! This is a criminal law he is violating!

    Well this is a start. Everybody must continue to contact all of O’Reilly’s sponsors and let them know that stalking anybody is not OK. We need to bring all of this into the light and ask these sponsors do they condone what this clown does in the name of news, and if they want to be known as supporting a stalker.

    Windancer, Lawyers cost a lot of money and time, and its almost impossible to win when your going against someone with a press pass. O’Reilly has always been able to deflect the stalking issue because he claims it is news. People who are outraged at these kind of tactics have a right to contact sponsors and express their concern for a company that would associate itself with a news show that uses the tactics of stalking.

    Does O’dildo’s audience use the web or twitter? I’m not concerned about their communications to companies like UPS.

    I think its possible that TP’s campaign made some higher ups at UPS watch ole vile O’Dildo and his demeanor made them not want to be associated with him.

  127. billio says:

    UPS is free to decide where to advertise and I am free to decide how to ship. I’m sure UPS will continue to advertise on the number one rated show in each time slot. That excludes Keith and Rachael on MSNBC (actually just about everything on MSNBC, for that matter). Of course, UPS can probably get some good advertising bargains at 3:00 a.m. on MSNBC, right alongside of SHAM-WOW.


  128. McWars says:

    Fewer people know or care about Michael Savage anymore because TP did well participating in a larger campaign to knock out a healthy chunk of his advertising.

    This time the relatively young TP (circa 2005) owns Bill-O by itself. Bill-O can’t attract new fans through his vile spewings, he can either embolden his existing base (BOOORING!) or alienate them.

    angels81 Says:

    Windancer, Lawyers cost a lot of money and time, and its almost impossible to win when your going against someone with a press pass. O’Reilly has always been able to deflect the stalking issue because he claims it is news. People who are outraged at these kind of tactics have a right to contact sponsors and express their concern for a company that would associate itself with a news show that uses the tactics of stalking.

    First of all, these are criminal offenses, not civil. Thus, no one needs to hire a lawyer except Billo. The State prosecutes. Secondly, I don’t believe criminal charges have ever been filed against O’Reilly so it gives him latitude to claim doing these criminal acts is “news.” Thirdly, I don’t disagree that anyone outraged by these tactics can contact sponsors. All I’m saying is that an organized move to do so can just as easily and readily be done by the right-wing. The difference is this: criminal laws have been violated.

    I wouldn’t brag so much about television ratings.

    In 2008, 40% of the respondents said they got most of their national and international news from the Internet, versus 35% for newspapers in 2008. The Internet’s share is up from 24% in 2007…

    If you want information, and in-depth reporting, you pretty much have to get on-line.

    Perhaps CNN is losing its audience because it’s not giving out good information. I wouldn’t call it “liberal”, at all. To assume that the reputedly liberal networks are losing audiences because people are disillusioned with President Obama and liberalism is to make quite a convenient leap.

    I disagree with the tactic of stalking someone for an unauthorized interview. But, I would hesitate to claim victory this statement:

    At this time, we have no plans to continue advertising during this show.

    It does not say we are going to stop advertising on O’Reilly’s show, it says they have no plans to continue to advertise.

    I could make the statement that I have no plans to continue breathing, that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop. It just means I have no plans.

    It’s very possible that the efforts directed at the sponsors have paid off. But, I would wait for a more definitive statement.

    Otherwise, this statement stretched into the headline: “BREAKING: UPS Announces It Will Stop Advertising On Bill O’Reilly’s Show”, could backfire on TP’s credibility, if O’Reilly gets a statement from UPS that it hasn’t ruled out future sponsorship.

    Didn’t think about the timing being bad, just went ahead and sent a thank you to UPS for listening and acting responsibly. Can’t make much difference to them but I will chose them when I have a choice and I told them that.

    BTW as a woman who has been threatened at my job (I’m a teacher at a junior high, not everyone loves us), I can attest to the feeling of intimidation I would feel if two strange men approached me, especially at a place where I wouldn’t expect anyone to know me.

    Having had to press charges in the past I know that a key element is how the ‘victim’ felt, not how someone else might feel. What isn’t intimidation or threatening for my 6′3″ larger younger fellow male teachers, is intimidation for me. Maybe not fair in some ways but as I understand it that is the way the law is written. If the acts are threatening in any way AND I feel threatened, then it is a threat.

    Can’t say I feel much sympathy for those confrontational individuals that have to be careful how they comport themselves.

    Lest we lose track of the real issues here. I know that trolls love to think Bill0’s 1st Ammendment rights are being infringed on because of his original remarks about a rape/murder victim. I think it’s safe to say that this response from UPS, and others, is in reaction to Bill0’s malicious, arguably slanderous, attacks on Ms. Terkel, NBC, Major executives at NBC, Mr. Podesta, CAP and others.

    Bill0 made positive, slanderous, assertions that these people did and said these they did not do and there’s plenty of documentation in the form of articles and broadcasts in the public domain. Bill0 stuck his head in a noose and his initial comments, though hateful, are irrelevant. It’s his insane overreaction to a story that had gone away is what will drive responsible advertisers away from such a whack job.

    Now that I’ve had time to go through the thread, all I can say is what an amazing amount of trollshi*. Even when they get their as* kicked they still want more. It’s so hard to understand.

    It’s simple, anyone who blames a rape and murder victim for their rape and murder, denies it, then goes after someone who made a story of it by stalking them is not rational. Anyone who defends O’Reilly’s and his goon squads actions isn’t rational. Any company that choses to advertise on his show, or any Fox program implicitly condones O’Reilly’s behavior. Anyone who protests it is showing good, common sense.

    Laws were broken, and in CA we have anti paparazzi laws. That doesn’t mean they’ll be prosecuted, but it does mean they should be.

    And Ranting Tommy, thanks for the posts, it was kind of fun like reading old burma shave signs.
    Trolls who can’t see this have more evolving to do.

    We have just canceled our UPS account and referenced this website as the cause. UPS has just lost over a thousand dollars a day, the US Post office needs the money anyway.

    Tim, the government can’t deprive you of free speech a private company that refuses to advertise and support someone they deem offensive is called business.


  291. Hoodathunktick says:

    Just a suspicion but since buddy Billo branded us insects it seems we have an influx of trolls. Either the Quisling Quarter is remarkably well indoctrinated or the Billo machine is cutting into their falafel investment for this month.


  292. kdlaiusa says:

    Absolutely bravo!!! Fantastic news. This is a great precedence set by a major advertiser.

    All of my FedEx Ground shipment will be awarded to UPS from now on.

    So Billo, maybe you should become a better person. This can continue to happen and very soon, you will only air your Fox promo.

    aksarben60 has trouble understanding facts.
    Terkel was the victim of a stalker.
    The scene was documented by Billo’s thugs.
    Why would you think she had to get her information from Media Matters?
    Media Matters is another name that Billo likes to throw out there like it was the plague — I guess that because it exposes the truth about Billo’s lies, he would think it was the plague.

  300. flight says:

    O’Reilly’s part of the snake, but the head of the snake is Murdoch. The very threat of losing one advertiser is noted by the rest. I have to believe no advertiser wants any negitive publicity associated with their product, period. The can have the best ratings, but being associated with the Murdoch’s henchmen is going to be hard to justify with tight advertising dollars, unless they are ready to endorse Murdoch’s views.
    Keeping up the pressure on O.Reilly keeps pressure on Murdoch. You can bet other right wingnut broadcasters are watching closely because THEY ARE IN FOR SOME ROUGH TIMES.


  301. Realness says:

    Dr. Moth Matt,

    Welllll, they lost the election pretty big, the polling numbers for conservatives looks pretty bad, the President still has really really high approval, the GOP is currently being disparaged for a numberless budget proposal, etc, etc. etc.


  302. pete says:

    I might add that Bill0 has always been a liar and has hurt our country. He says things that make ignorant freaks vote for other ignorant freaks and shoot up churches and schools.

    If humans had been around when the dinosaurs went mostly extinct (look up birds) we would have gone extinct. Large animals at, or near, the top of the food chain, like humans, are the first to go during mass extinctions. Especially mass extinctions directly attributable to dramatic changes in the environment.

    We’ve done pretty well at adapting to moderate changes in the environment but we don’t show any greater chance of surviving a general collapse in the biosphere than any other relatively dominant species. Though we may become the first such species to willfully cause the collapse.

    Who is it again that O’Reilly is smearing? Besides Barney Frank, the CEO of the Freddie and Fannie scandal? And shameful judges who give child rapists 2 week prison sentences? O’Reilly is not a conservative, and I don’t agree with a lot of his conclusions, but anybody who will push back against fascist fanatics and immoral idiots is a great American in my book.

    This is America, and for the time being UPS has the right to choose who they sponsor and who they don’t, and I applaud them for making their own choice. I also choose not to sponsor UPS anymore if they will bow to the whims of this organization. Ain’t America great?!?

  332. Honest Man says:

    I guess getting a rational answer or proof to the contrary was just asking too much.


  333. pete says:

    Bill0 made slanderous assertions that Amanda Terkel, John Podesta, The president of NBC, other unnamed operators at NBC, CAP, President Obama, Media Matters, Far-Left Loons in general, and others who flashed by too quickly to catch, engaged in a malicious effort to harm the It Happened to Alexa Foundation and it’s principles.

    That’s what constitutes, in my opinion, slander. One needn’t even dwell on the tactics he employs in his ambushes or the fact that he planned his revenge against a blogger who, along with the dozens of other reporters who covered the story, did nothing but question his suitability as a speaker. Ms. Terkel, in particular, never so much as suggested that anyone should pursue any action against Bill0, the Foundation, or anyone affiliated with the Foundation or Bill0. Bill0 falsely asserted that she, and others, took intentional action to harm the Foundation.

    That’s what smears Mr. Bill0 is guilty of.


  334. flight says:

    xaris_kai_alethea, in some respects I couldn’t agree with you more. The effect of his tactics are what is question. I enjoy conversing, including people I disagree with. When the discourse turns ugly, name calling and corrupting the facts I have a problem. Reasonable people can always find room for disagreement, but make no mistake O’Reilly is not a reasonable individual and his presence in public discourse is repulsive to me. I choose not to support his show or the very network that supports it. We as an American society can and should expect far better!!!


  335. cinesimon says:

    Hey ‘Honest Man’

    If you’d bothered to check the story, you’d realize that a day ago UPS emailed ThinkProgress, saying that they were looking into it.
    A day later they emailed ThinkProgress the statement saying that they had changed their advertising, as they said they would.

    They didn’t yell it out like BillO would, but it’s still rather obvious what has happened.


  336. Rich H says:

    I’m still wondering why xaris thinks UPS has the “right” to choose who it sponsors “for the time being.” What happens afer that?


  337. Alabama Dem says:

    They didn’t yell it out like BillO would, but it’s still rather obvious what has happened.

    That doesn’t prove anything.


  338. pete says:

    Try Googling UPS and click “news” at the top of the page. Then look for Bill0’s name or “advertising”. There’s your proof.

    Good job, Brown!!! Spend your advertising dollars with less controversial, ahh,,, can’t think of the proper word for Bill….

    To limit where your advertizing dollar goes is not censership. It is part of a national responsibility to moniter the content; and have some control on a destructive right control of the media. And the government is not even part of it. GO FOR IT!


  359. TheAverageAmerican says:

    Freedom of Choice is a basic American right. The folks at UPS chose to advertise on the Bill O’Reilly show for the benefit of their existing and future customers. However, by changing that decision for fear of political retaliation by the Democratic Party, and not fundamentally sound business considerations, is a Sad Day for America.

    “It’s good to be excellent when everything goes right, but … when the world is falling apart around you many it’s greater to be merely decent.”

  361. simplethinker says:

    Great job UPS, I’ve been trying to decide what shipping service to use based on cost but NOW I KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE FEDEX regardless of cost. This is just another example of the left doing everything they can to silence any opposing opinion, in the finest example of the great “progressives” of the last century – those who left our world with millions enslaved or dead.


  362. tracyd says:

    It looks like my companies will need to quit using UPS and go to FEDEX. I don’t like O’Riellys style but he is a counter point to the media that has sold its soul to the other side. When taken in context to the items that main stream media refuses to cover and O’Reilly does that is the balanced portion, not that his show is particularly balanced.


  363. demsaregoingdown says:

    Get them at their own game…In the subject line change it to:
    PLEASE STAND UP FOR BILL!

    In the letter body change it to WHY YOU SUPPORT BILL AND YOU WILL NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS IF THEY CAVE TO THIS “PROGRESSIVE CRAP”!!!

    They have it all set up for us! Thanks you morons!


  364. FLOYDMARTIN says:

    Time for all Conservative & Republicans and all who
    believe in Freedom of speech to stop using
    UPS!!!

    Then all of the Little Progressives NAZI’s who abhor
    Freedom of Speech & the 1st Amendment to the
    Constitution can use UPS!

    Then the rest of the nation can use FEDEX and other
    not so SENSITIVE companys!!!

    DUMP UPS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  365. Uncle Higgy says:

    Looks like it is time to dump UPS, and go with Fedex!

    This is really a bad sign of the times when companies will cave under the pressure of Nazi-type propaganda in our “news” reporting.

    Mr. O’Reilly is one of few voices in the media with enough brains and guts to confront the madness going on within our political system, which if left unchecked will bankrupt our economy and put us in future hard times.


  366. DRxJapanese Beetle says:

    I see tracyd believes in rewarding those businesses that advertise for multimillionaires who believe victims of rape deserve it.

    Well, I’ll up your pathetic ante.
    My business will now exclusively use UPS!

    I see you don’t like O’Rally’s, but then you take the time to explain his supposed style. WTF?
    I let you in on a little secret.
    O’Rally claims to give an opponent the opportunity to come on his show and debate, before he harrasses them. HE LIED!
    Why didn’t he air the entire AMANDA SABOTAGE in it’s full, instead of cutting and splicing to meet his agenda? Because HE’S A LIAR!
    So, he’s about as ‘fair and balanced’ as an egg on a kitchen counter top.
    But hey, you keep supporting him, he of falafels and stalking. He of harrassing and blaming the victim. Because that tells us what kind of character YOU are.


  367. DRxJapanese Beetle says:

    But hey, all you pathetic trolls who just happen to post later to try and get the last word:
    Still not drinking PEPSI?
    Still avoiding anything FRENCH!
    Still fantasizing about what’d you do to a woman in a shower with a falafel, if you ever had a woman?
    Still believe a rape victim deserves it?


  368. Uncle Higgy says:

    I am not a “pathetic troll”, and you are a hate-monger.


  369. Patriot68 says:

    Why would anyone try to suppress Bill O’s free speech? Why are trying to get him off the air? Some of the comments on here are unAmerican. We have free speech for a reason, it helps maintain a balance of opinions and a direction for the country. If you don’t agree with anyone, CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!! Don’t trample the Constitution because you don’t agree with the other side.

    If you don’t like Fox, watch CNN. Don’t trample the Constitution! The last three Presidents, including Obama, have done that in the name of “National Security” but its really about advancing their own agenda.

    Do you want to make a difference? Let’s break the bonds of a two party system, throw all 545 people out of office, and bring this Country back to the intention of the founding fathers?


  370. simplethinker says:

  371. travka63 says:

    CONGRATULATIONS everyone!!!! You all are just a tiny STEP AWAY FROM a communist RUSSIA from which I escaped 20 years ago! It is not a joke… Painfully familiar intolerance toward ANYBODY with an opinion different than yours! The only difference -Russians are a step ahead – they kill journalists they disagree with. If you don’t agree with Bill, why don’t you switch the channel? WHY SO MUCH HATE? AGGRESSION? WHY THERE IS A NEED TO CONVERT EVERYONE INTO YOUR IDEOLOGY? CAN I HAVE AN OPINION DIFFERENT THAN YOURS? I brough my child to live in this country believing that she will NEVER experience what we lived through.Do you know what really happened in Eastern Europe under Russian regime? For most of you Socialism seems like an abstract notion in a far away land, it is knocking on your door! For us, people who actually lived in a ‘fair’ society it is very scary to see what is going on here enow. It pains my heart to see how step by step this country gets on a deadly track. PEOPLE WAKE UP! PLEASE REALIZE THAT YOU ARE HEADING TOWARD A CLIFF!
    I feel bad for all of us and for this incredible country country. STOP HATING!


  372. johnadamsfan says:

    In response to the person who said UPS is a privately held company, you are completely wrong. UPS is publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. This is what happens when people spout off and expect others to accept what they say as gospel. If some of the comments that I read on these and other postings are the caliber of intelligence in this country, there is no hope for us. If UPS has dropped their advertising on O’Reilly’s show due to pressure from left-wing organizations like Think Progress and the unions, it won’t be any great loss. I have more respect for FedEx for threatening to cancel their plane orders due to union harassment.


  373. DRxJapanese Beetle says:

    I love the concern for the Constitution NOW. Back when it was “just a piece of paper”, it was okay to tramp on it. But not today. No. Today, it’s the foundation of our country (although completely ignored for the last 8 years).

    And of course, the ever popular FREE SPEECH argument. Which went completely ignored when O’Rally called for a boycott on Pepsi over some rapper’s lyrics. Where was the outrage then? Where was the anti-American accusations for Falafel boy?
    Oh, that’s right. The lyricist happened to be (gasp) African American! Well, I guess it’s okay then, as long as it’s not a rich perveted white guy, eh?
    But, when you have to protect your god, taking a hypocritcal stance must be par for the course.
    Again, pathetic.


  374. c mack says:

    When you are a journalist or on tv giving your opinion, you should be mindful of what you say and do. Millions of people are listen to what your saying. Think about it, you tell everyone that the president is a socialist or a capitalist or what ever. This should not be tolerated by journalist.They are their to report the news, not to decide what someone is.

    Just report the news and let the people decide what someone is or not. To me a lot of journalist should be charged for inciting a crime

    I really dont give a rats ass about what a journalist opinnion is. I just want to hear the news , that all.


  375. awake says:

    Found the site through a Yahoo! link. What an absurd little pack of weasels you are.

    “At this time, we have no plans to continue advertising during this show,” means just that. They didn’t cancel anything because of you. They just didn’t have any ad buys planned. In a couple of months, when they are once again running ads on O’Reilly, you can go on about how UPS “lied” to you.

    Good luck in your quest for relevance. Keep blaming others for your problems. And enjoy the lives you’ve built for yourselves.

  379. My 2 Cents Worth says:

    to cinesimon.. wha wha wha. Ethical??? Is it ethical to bankrupt this country? Has Obama proved he is a U.S. Citizen, whit a VALID Birth Certificate? Why are you and many others afraid of someone asking “some” of the hard question? I do admit Bill O. does ramble on at times but the questions he raises are valid. Since Obama has been in office “less than 100 days” he’s run up more debt than all of the other presidents put together, and he’s not stopping. How is he able to do this? I understand how, do you. Ask the hard questions don’t just skim the top. What ever happened to doing what the people want? Be careful, the Langoliers will get you. OH and don’t forget to press one for English.


  380. sriggins says:

    A friend linked this article and I have to agree with the person who said that this is just as bad information twisting as O’Reilly himself.

    UPS didn’t say they were withdrawing advertising because of this site; It simply said they have no plans to advertise on the show now.

    Those two are not the same thing and until UPS makes a more definitive statement, I think this kind of reporting is just as bad as how FOX twists things. If you want to “think progress” you have to be better than the other guys, not live in the same FOXhole they do.

    I definitely do not approve of o’reilly’s tactics but I do believe one night of drunkeness (or any mind altering behaviour for that matter) can ruin your a life; male or female, irregardless of dress; because you may do something you ordinarily would have the good sense not to do thereby placing yourself in jeopardy. I do believe we live in a very dangerous society these days and I think there are hundreds, if not thousands, more predators out there just waiting for a chance to get you. Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you!!

    LMFAO!!!!
    What you liberal wing-dings need to remember is that there are more of us than there are of you.

    Normally the conservative hard-working citizens who BUILT this nation are busy living and enjoying their lives…minding their own business. Now we’re beginning to get angry…you are now awakening the sleeping giant.

    O’Reilly DOMINATES the air much to the chagrin of the speech impediment crew at MSNBC [matthews drools & spits, olbermann has the lisp] by nearly 2 to 1.

    You insects really dont like it when you get a taste of your own medicine.

    You go Bill….keep exposing these idiots for the frauds that they truly are.

    There’s a big part of me that thinks complete economic collapse would be the best thing that could possibly happen to this country. Because while we out here who make up the BACKBONE of this great nation hunt for our meat and grow our own vegetables…the pseudo-intellectual types who run blogs like this that spend their entire lives online with “friends” they’ve never even met…would starve to death of helplessness.

  385. Larry Croft says:

    I will continue using UPS and I will continue watching O’Reilly. From what I read here, I don’t think UPS stopped it’s O’Reilly advertising because of outside pressure. With Fox dominating cable news, I suspect UPS believes it has already reached an extremely large numbers of Fox viewers and will concentrate it’s advertising dollars elsewhere for a few months. That’s how advertising works.

    Also, I fear you might cause UPS to lose business by wrongly influencing UPS customers to leave UPS. Is that your ulterior motive?


  386. cowboytogo says:

    Sounds like censorship to me. Now, what was that again when left wing extremists were accusing Gov. Palin of banning books in Alaska libraries last year? Try a new approach; debate Mr. O’Reilly on the issues. Cease at once to re-create the Nazi-like propaganda.


  387. pastcaring ceratopogonidae says:

    To all the loser trolls sent by your master Bill O’Reilly, take a long look in the mirror.

    Every single one of you whines about an imagined trampling of Bill O’Reilly’s rights.

    You are hypocrites down to the last one.

    You all inspire yourselves that you are the real Americans here, but real Americans don’t support a man who diparages victims of rape and who ambushes people, nor do real americans support a government that starts illegal, unnecessary wars of conquest while it discards the Constitution.

    You faux patriots are fools.

    Go cry about the ‘wrong’ done to your hero bill-O the clown on your pathetic right wing echo chambers.


  388. dbadass says:

    Hi cowboytogo
    I don’t think it was leftwing extremists that think/thought Palin was totally absurd. I think that was just normal people.


  389. reaganwasright says:

    I guess FedEx gets my business now. I never liked UPS anyway, except for the account executive who always took me out to lunch on UPS’s dime until he got demoted. Everyone else is afraid to submit an expense report because their boss is like Anne Hathaway’s boss on “The Devil Wears Prada.” Even though we’re under contract to UPS, if we have a critical package that can’t be late, it always goes FedEx even if it costs more, especially the international packages. UPS is famously unreliable in Mexico. Who can afford to drive half a day to Mexico City if they mess up a shipment? FedEx is much more reliable, never had any problems, even when we were shipping entire planeloads of parts to Mexico. This just gives me one more reason to pull the plug on UPS. Stop advertising based on lies and misinformation about O’Reilly? They did not do their due diligence on this decision.


  390. dbadass says:

    reaganwasright
    Would that include his open support of terrorism?


  391. reaganwasright says:

    Oh, no, some 12-year-old poster is going to call me a “Nazi” for defending O’Reilly. I can hardly wait.

    Let’s leave the President out of this, we’re talking about O’Reilly here. Focus.


  394. reaganwasright says:

    FDR is dead, not stopping us from making the same policy mistakes that extended the Depression by years. Why would I want to “get over” Reagan? His policies created the most robust economy in decades, even though he inherited a mess from Carter. Now we have Carter 2. Great.

  399. SilverGem says:

    Uh, guys, I think you need to re-read the UPS email. I used to work in advertising.

    The email does not say UPS will stop advertising on O’Reilly. The word “stop” does not appear anywhere in the email.

    All it says is:
    1) thank you for emailing us;
    2) we read your comments like we read everyone’s comments on where we place our ads; and
    3) we looked at our current media schedule (usually an annual plan) and there don’t happen to be any more spots scheduled to be on O’Reilly

    You can’t just read into this email what you want to be the truth. All this email says is that our current schedule doesn’t happen to include any more O’Reilly spots. Nothing more.

    Don’t be surprised when in their next annual planning cycle O’Reilly shows up again in their media schedule.

    The worst part of it all, is that you guys don’t even realize you’ve been had.

  409. mhelweg says:

    The thing I find most bewildering is the complete and utter disregard for the law. The drones of puppets all chanting that Mr. O’Reily’s behavior is not only justifiable, but you mindless imps are actually proclaiming that Mr. O’Reily is somehow being oppressed and persecuted! What the hell is wrong with you nitwits? First you hand over your personal rights and freedoms to Mr. Bush’s fiefdom without batting an eye, then have the urge to come out of the woodwork and proclaim that it’s an acceptable practice to badger, taunt, ridicule and harass anyone who has the audacity to voice an opinion that is contrary to what you believe, and have the balls to call yourselves Americans? You should rethink your ideals or perhaps re-locate to somewhere where the ideals you hold so dear are appreciated more, say North Korea, Iran, perhaps China?


  410. marcus85 says:

    I’m proud to say that yesterday I sent 2 e-mails for this. The second one was an accident but I’m sure that’s what pushed it over the top! Seriously, it’s awesome to see that everyone together is having an effect and hopefully it doesn’t stop here.


  411. marcus85 says:

    I just saw that this was written the day before I sent my e-mails so I feel a little less special than I did a minute ago..


  412. dancerken1949 says:

    Evidently, most of the replies on this site are from people who do “NOT” watch or listen to the FOX news commentator, Bill O’reilly. I have been watching ABC< CBS< NBC< MSNBC< CNN and Fox News for many years. Of all of the newscasts on TV (network or cable), Fox news is the best news and Fox news commentators are the best of the best on TV, “period”!!! Bill O’reilly always shows both sides of an issue – both the “far left liberal” and the conservative right” of an issue!!!Since I am not on “your far left bandwagon of far left zealots and fanatics, I challenge you to post this comment – to show that “you are fair and balanced”, when faced with an opposing view!!! Can you be “Fair & Balnced”, the same as Bill O’reilly, or will you continue to stiffle all opposing points of view – a very ignorant way of dealing with a newsworthy intellectual point of view?


  413. marcus85 says:

    “Bill O’Reilly” is fair and balanced??? And you call the people on here zealots and fanatics??? Bill O’Reilly is a TERRIBLE journalist, absolutely terrible. In fact, you can’t even call him a journalist. He rarely has any facts and more often than not he makes things up as he goes along. No one from this website needs to respond to you, your mind is already made up. You can go on watching Bill O’Reilly and believe all of his conspiracy theory nonsense. I honestly don’t know why you took the time to come on here and post. All you did was reaffirm the belief that people who still watch his show, even after everything he has said, are as crazy as he is.


  414. mr jiggs says:

    I think UPS is foolish like all the rest of the loony liberals. We never get the true news from the main street media
    so my hats off to Mr O’Reilly. UPS isn’t the only carrier out there.


  415. hickoryhound says:

    Good for y’all, but are you trying to silence Bill O’Reilly? I don’t know why, when the man has done everything he can to support middle of the road politics. Is it that he doesn’t fully support your extreme positions and lock-step support of Darth Obama.

    Seems to me that you guys support vitriol, until it is aimed at you. You support the first amendment, until it disagrees with you. You support individual rights, until they impinge upon the state. Remember, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Why cry when Mr. O’Reilly is doing the same thing Mike Wallace used to do. Were you against it then? How about some consistency.

    The Hickory Hound


  416. Elmer Fudd says:

    It must make you so proud to have attempted to stifle a voice you don’t agree with. I salute your support of our basic freedoms…That being said I doubt UPS will make a dent in Bill’s advertising base as it is all about ratings and his are VERY good. But please by all means continue to try an stifle the opposition, it speaks much more about you that it does him. Be sure and give my best to Mr. Sores who funds your playground. Lemmings one and all


  417. xaris_kai_alethea says:

    Rich H: Sorry for the delay, I’ve been too busy working to be here. You asked what I mean by “for the time being UPS has the right to choose who they sponsor and who they don’t”. Well, they’re a private, capitalist enterprise, right? The m.o. of the current administration and the drones that worship it is to take over and control capitalist enterprises. Take GM: They are being forced to drop 11 of their 20 or so profitable autos because they aren’t green enough. We’re destroying products like Hummer through the State while Iraqis can’t get enough Hummers in their new freedom. The EU is yelling at us that we’re too socialist already. Nice.


  418. xaris_kai_alethea says:

    @flight, I can respect your position and especially the respectful way you shared it with me–THANK YOU. I’m certain there are many instances where BillO has been a jerk and done other things to which I’m not privy. I also respect the position of ThinkProgress to call BillO out for allegedly lying right out about them and committing libel and slander. I think it’s cool that this site answered my comments in at least one new post.

    Let me make something perfectly clear for those of you who are proud liberals or socialists: I will respect ANYONE who tells the truth and is logically consistent in their living out of their views–even when said views are the opposite of my own. America will be better when we can return to respectful, honest AND lively discourse. Grace and truth.


  419. xaris_kai_alethea says:

    @flight re: your post #320. How you people think Fox News is so biased and yet you somehow magically believe that CNBC, CNN, PBS, BBC, etc. are in any way fair is amazing. So do you think all the liberal pundits on Fox News are also controlled by the evil Murdoch? You’d likely be surprised by how many people on Fox News are democrats, if you ever actually watched them. And many Americans get that they are the closest thing to both objective news (the news shows) and a variety of opinions (the pundits on both sides) as you can find today. The rest of the media died in 2008 when they elected a Chicago thug and a racist white guy as president and vp.


  420. xaris_kai_alethea says:

    @EugeneDebs: Who exactly do you think I’m parroting? Who is it, thou genius, that I’m getting talking points from? You don’t know who I am or what I do. However, I’m going to borrow a line from your racist vice president and say “I’m sure my IQ is higher than yours.” As usual for a statist, you offer NO points, but simply state how stupid you think I am 6 different ways. I guess in “special” school they teach you to say the same thing 6 different ways when you have nothing to say? And just exactly which “GOD” are you calling on?

    And another thing: I don’t especially like BillO. He is NO conservative, and you statists need to figure that out. You just think anyone who disagrees with you is a “neocon” which shows how truly ignorant you are.


  421. hstps says:

    I emailed my friend over the weekend who works at the executive branch of UPS and he was able to clarify something for me and have UPS release a corrected statement to ThinkProgress. Oh, and ThinkProgress did not publish this on the front page, and we probably know why. The UPS “Decision” was dugg 4,100+ times at DIGG.com and the story was false.

    READ THIS:
    Susan Rosenberg, spokeswoman for UPS, previously issued this statement to ThinkProgress (3/30/09):
    We are writing to clarify our statement of last Friday because it appears to have been misinterpreted. UPS has not “pulled” any advertising from Fox News nor has the company taken a position on the “Think Progress” campaign. Our intent on Friday simply was to note that UPS does not have any pending advertising plans with the O’Reilly show.”


  422. xaris_kai_alethea says:

    @EndTheGOP: I just want to point out a misnomer in your comment #73: you seemed to use “reich” as a label for American conservatives, but if you meant it as in “the third reich” that label is more more befitting the modern American liberal, a.k.a. the “statist.” You see, the political spectrum goes from the extreme right (no government, anarchy) to the extreme left (total governmental control, tyranny). America is supposed to be a republic (not a democracy) in the middle where limited government defends freedom rather than restricting it. The new regime is pushing us far left toward total government control, which is when all nations crumble historically. So the terms “right-wing” and “fascist” are mutually exclusive. I just thought a person like yourself who seeks knowledge might want to know.

  424. xaris_kai_alethea says:

    @paz3: You must be who they’re talking about when they say 93.4% of all statistics are made up on the spot.” You said “Limbaugh is less popular than GW Bush, you know.” Now let me offer some actual facts:

    When taking “disapproval rating” and “approval rating” together, President Obama has fallen below former President Bush at this point in his presidency.

    Obama’s “disapproval” rating is stunning this early on and will continue to rise as more and more people realize that the emperor has no clothes.

    Rush Limbaugh, on the other hand, is more popular today than ever. And every time the liberal media lies about him, his ratings go up. I used to think he was awful because, like you, I didn’t listen to him. When I decided to get my facts from the source, that changed. He’s a good man (not perfect, as only one man was) who gives away more money to help those who deserve it than you’ll ever see.

    In the mean time, the liberal rags called newspapers are in “junk” status and will soon be bankrupt (well, those that haven’t already filed). So who exactly is unpopular?


  425. xaris_kai_alethea says:

    @hstps: Now that’s what I call investigative journalism. Thanks for reminding them that facts actually matter.


  426. hstps says:

    @xaris_kai_alethea

    Thanks!

    I don’t care if I don’t agree with someone or not, but I want the facts on table. I’m always skeptic of what I hear, so I want to make sure that something is true before I commit it to truth. On the internet especially.


  427. xaris_kai_alethea says:

    @tombaker: Does it make you feel good to disparage President Ronald Wilson Reagan? So you insult his intelligence and call him names. Wow, you’re so smart and not an a-hole at all. It’s amazing to me that all you “compassionate” liberals will insult Bush and Reagan, but conservatives can’t dare question President Barrack Hussein Obama. Even Mr. O’Reilly, who you demonize, has been more than fair and respectful toward President Obama. Try actually adding to the conversation, unless you really are still in 6th grade as your post implies.


  428. hstps says:

    http://thinkprogress.org/oreilly-campaign-responses/

    Now considering that statement, look at all hyped up you got over the weekend. Dumb stupid young “thinkprogressers” were saying : “Oh my god, we’re so cool we got something done, yeaaa”

    Well no not really. Actually not at all!

    Looking at your comments, I agree with Bill O’Reily that you truly are devalued human beings, of a devalued generation.


  429. upsman8120 says:

    IMHO, I wonder why UPS would ever advertise on this “show”. I am a 20 year UPS employee and think BILLO is a loose cannon! His views about women are totally different from UPS and the majority of Americans. I am sure UPS is real scared of Billy Boy! LOL


  430. Uncle Higgy says:

    I sent an email to UPS telling them that since they boycotted free speech, I was quitting UPS and going to other companies. Since then, UPS sent out the clarification statement that they had not boycotted Bill O’Reily’s show. I watch Bill’s program, and he takes great pains to be fair and balanced as well as respectful to women. Anyone who disagrees either does not watch the broadcasts, or is not giving Bill a fair shot. As far as MSNBC is concerned, it represents the death of journalism in America.
