Think Progress

Nineteen more advertisers dump Glenn Beck.

Guinness Poster Yesterday, ThinkProgress noted that British supermarket Waitrose had dropped all its advertising from Fox News in the UK after customer complaints about Glenn Beck. Today, Color of Change is announcing that 19 more advertisers — including Waitrose — have dumped Beck. That number includes multinational drinks company Diageo (the maker of Guinness and Johnnie Walker, among others), which has also pulled its advertising from all of Fox News in the UK. Here are some of the responses Color of Change received from Beck’s advertisers:

We are appalled at what’s going on. Metropolitan Talent Management is 100% dedicated to not buy advertising on any part of Fox News.” — Metropolitan Talent Management

– “We’re no longer going to book any of his air time. I’m really glad to be informed of what you guys are doing.” — Overture Films

– “The Seoul government has no plan to extend, resume, or add its commercial on the program. In other word [sic], there will not be Seoul commercial in the Glenn Beck program any more.” — Seoul Metropolitan Government

– “You will not see Flexitol commercials on the Glenn Beck show. Period.” — Eulactol USA, makers of Flexitol

Eighty companies have now distanced themselves from Beck since Color of Change launched its boycott in in August. Help hold Beck accountable here.

    This is all good but truly the root of the evil is Rupert Murdoch, he is the most evil man on the face of the earth. He has single handedly turned news into pure nonstop propaganda where lying is seen as virtue.

    Truly Rupert must be stopped.

    I love watching as the Republican Party and its propagandists go down in flames.

  7. Levi the Oracle says:

    Now Holder needs to charge Beck with sedition and put him in prison. That would be a thread to drink Guinness to.


  8. tom says:

    Could it be that we’ve been wrong about Glenda all this time?

    Could it be that his clandestine objective has been to single-handedly bring down the entire Murdoch empire by bankrupting his FoxShooze operation?


  9. Zooey says:

    How many sponsors did Beck start with?

    And how many more does he have to lose before he just isn’t worth it to Fux?


  10. evangenital says:

    Why don’t these advertisers just pull away totally from FoxNews?

    Simply avoiding Beck’s hour of nonsense is just not enough.

    These advertisers should really hit Murdoch in the balls.

    Lying is a preferred form of life at FoxNews.

    Stop supporting the liars.

    Must be that the big TV ratings overcome everything.

    Ratings are only used to determine where advertising dollars are spent… they have no value in and of themselves… unless you’re ready to admit that Formula 1 is six times more awesome than Football…


  18. Bullsmith says:

    One of the things that has caused America to go off the rails is that there has been no ostracizing of those on the Right who have suffered major defeats, been convicted of crimes, been involved in corruption or scandal. Sex can still finish a guy of, gay sex especially, but that’s about it. Can you imagine Michael Dukakis being on Sunday every week after getting killed in the election? How do Ollie North and G. Gordon Liddy become public figures bleating about patriotism, they’re criminal partisans. Rush Limbaugh was on Monday Night Football, for the love of pete, till he started pointing out how Donovan McNabb’s a loser and how black QBs always get all the advantages.

    Glenn Beck is not fit for decent society. He called a rival’s wife once and mocked her for having a miscarriage. Cause her rival-dj husband can’t do anything right, not even make a baby that could come to term. This is someone who should defend decency and values? Who should say who’s fit for public service and who’s not? No, this is a guy who got rich by being a pig. And nowbringing down Democratic bureaucrats and getting civic organizations voted down in Congress.

    It’s despicable and decent people need to speak up. For once, it seems they are.


  19. rocks911 says:

    I cant believe how little outrage I ever hear about Murdoch. Beck is just another of Ruperts many many foot soldiers globally, and Murdochs son is learning the trade. This man has single handedly transformed this country to the open cesspool of misinformation that it is.


  20. Bullsmith says:

    I should point out, Glenn Beck called the grieving woman days after her miscarriage, live on the radio. A woman he’d been friends with, in fact. Family values, indeed.

    It is amazing that Murdoch has so much money and seems to want to do-all-possible to get the Rushpubs back into power…that the withdrawl of advertisers from Beck’s show, that is now spreading to the entire channel, doesn’t seem to matter to him.

    The man (and his son) is scum and does not get the coverage that he should. He is the complete enabler to Beck and the other nutz on his Fhoney News channel.

    Beck’s ratings? Give me a break. What do ratings have to do with quality. There have been a few very very popular shows that catch the attention of the easily amused or woefully ignorant. I put Beck close to on par with Jerry Springer. The main difference is that Beck show is targeted to a less intelligent demographic than Springer’s.

    BTW, Isn’t it funny how it get proven over and over again day after day that the only most base of the Republican base remains.

    I can’t at all see why either Korea would be advertising on a network that keeps pumping the well of foreigners = bad. Not to mention pulling out old time hatred stereotypes used in war (you know them slanty eyed folks….)


  81. Marie says:

    Murdoch may not publicly say much about this, but I have to believe that he is beginning to worry about the drop off of sponsors for Beck’s show.
    Beck still remains among the biggest draws to Fox, but if he can’t keep sponsors, Murdoch will not be able to tolerate it.

    He couldn’t care less about what his reputation is, he only cares about money — and if this trend continues, the money will become the issue with Beck.

    When corporations, world wide, are appalled by Beck’s rants and blatant hatred of the president, it is pretty revealing.


  82. Rascalcat says:

    Come on now folks, this is going to require a tearful response and then we all pay.

    Didn’t your Mother’s ever tell you it is not polite to make fun of the mentally disturbed. You know, there is a history of made up suicides in the family. Do you really want to be responsible for making Glenny make up his own suicide?

    Jeesh.

    No truth to Beck raping and murdering, yet, that we know of.

    The joke is “Why won’t Glenn Beck respond to the rape and murder allegations?”

    It is the kind of question FOX is famous for, sort of a variation of “Is it true, Senator, that you have stopped beating your wife?”

    There is no good answer for those types of questions.

    On the other hand, Beck is on tape claiming his Mother committed suicide while all evidence suggests accidental (Possibly alcohol induced) drowning. Beck claimed she left a suicide note, but if she did, he kept it from police investigating the drowning and no one else has ever claimed to have seen it. What he shares with his Mother is that she was a manic-depressive who turned to drugs and alcohol.

    My understanding is that these national advertisers specified that they did not want their businesses associated with the Beck show.

    Unless and until he can prove otherwise, he’ll just have to be assumed guilty. The rumors will continue and he will be confronted more and more requently.

    The SNL skit ripping on Obama was really quite funny, and it did make me squirm quite a bit. Y’all on the right should be taking notes: hooting and jeering are not satire.

When people come here to try to get a rise out of us, laugh at us, distract us with unrelated matters, brag that they know more about politics, etc…that’s when it gets ugly. And that’s when people get ugly right back.

    flag@, I highly encourage you to come here and present facts as if you were in a debate club, not at a roller derby.

    Conservatives aren’t that funny.

    I respectfully disagree, conservatives are hilarious, although they aren’t doing it intentionally.

    There are a few of you that actually care to have meaningful discourse….Purple, Bruce, and a couple of others. I may try again some day. In the meantime let’s all support individual liberty, smaller government, free-market capitalism, religious freedom, and fiscal responsibility.

    And there are exactly none of us who believe you stand by the virtues you hailed in that post. None.

    We have never seen any evidence of it and it has become meaningless rhetoric.

    It’s a lie.

    It proves that you condemn us while being the most shallow person that we come in contact with each day.

    You teach people how to treat you and you have earned our distain. Learn to live with it.


  123. NinerFan says:

    Smaller government?

    The size of our federal government rose under Reagan and Bush, fell under Clinton and then greatly increased again under Bush. Those are the facts.

    Fiscal responsibility?

    By the end of Clinton’s two terms, we were arguably running a surplus. Bush, by contrast, tried to run a $13 billion a month war off the books!

    Well, there’s no need to degenerate into your opponents then, flag@. I fight that urge every time Pat Pomery comes here to disrupt the issues.

    I myself am willing to ask that the insults be kept to a minimum here. However, I also ask that you stand by that point-of-view when the insults and lack of respect are thrown about by the TP haters that access the place as well.

    It’s only fair.

    Add Fred to the Eugene and Dbadass list.

    piss off flag. You don’t get to decide. as I said. You pretend to be all kinds of things but you have never pulled it off so you don’t get to brag or tell us how to do things.

    You had a great run and every opportunity to do the things you brag about but you failed. Now it’s our turn. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

    There will be less hungry and sick people when we get done and there will be more and better paying jobs and our economy will be in better shape and our future will be much brighter.

    Got any evidence that you have ever provided those things?

    So, do you feel that Obama’s spending is taking us in the right direction? I will see if I can find the graph on projected deficits. It is VERY scary.

    Check out Crooks and Liars. They have an article up, in which the Bush insiders admit they lied last year about how badly the financial situation was. In that light, what Obama has done is shore up the sagging mess bequeathed to him by Bush. I’d be more scared if McCain were in office, flip-flopping every important issue, and Palin right there, agreeing with every falsehood, like Cheney in a dress.


  129. Fred says:

    flaggy, here is your first post. It was so thoughtful and respectful and full of valid points that it was voted down almost immediatly.

    That’s it after these last five stories since yesterday on TP.org, I am pulling my advertising on Glenn Beck….hey now it’s 81 advertisers. What a joke.

    You come in with both guns blazin and when you get collared on your bullshit you play the victim card. Suck it up little fella or tuck your tail between your legs and scamper on home.

    Stop pretending to be something you are not.


  130. EugeneDebs says:

    Keep whining flag. I give back what I see. From YOU I see troll. You get back the contempt you dish out and thats all you deserve then you snivel about it like the punk you are. I CAN debate when I SEE something like a cogent point. I dont see them from you. IF you had tried real debating and real arguments when we argued about healthcare then THAT is how I responded. You are more like a whiny punk than anyone trying civil discourse. So stuff it up your tarhole you lying piece of garbage

    ——————————————————————————–

    I keep on hearing how many advertisers are leaving Beck. But, nobody says how many have been added to the show. Is it none. Or is it some?

    They’re all interesting reading, and will answer your questions quite well. That includes the link I’ll put in my next comment, as 3 links evidentally triggers TP’s “your comment is awaiting moderation” response.

    I find it hard to believe that Overture Films, distributor of Michael Moore’s new movie, wasn’t aware of Beck’s antics.

    No more commercials for Fukitol?


  135. redstateyes says:

    If you can’t beat them in the arena of the marketplace then shut them down. Is that what happened to Air America? Those mean right wingers boycotted & shut them down. No, they couldn’t make money in the real world and had to close down. Or was it steal (borrow)from the Boys & Girls Clubs. When you folks can’t compete in the open market, the first thing you do is try to silence the competion. Keep on whining!!!


  136. wreckingcrew says:

    yesssssss……

    silent all of those who would dare speak out against the great Obama. all shall learn to kneel before the great leader and any who opose him..will be dealt with…

    First we take your advertising, Then we shall squelch all freedom of speech. Next..next we will make examples of you fools who think you can just open your mouths. we will taser and gas everyone who dares speak out. Fall in line scum…

    In the new america..it is obama’s way..or no way at all the non believers..

    muahahahahahahahahaha…


  137. bignewf says:

    No one is taking away your right to free speech. You’re doing exactly what mormon beck does. Lie and distort. It’s no wonder your such a big fan. I haven’t seen any dissenters to Obama being dragged away to “free speech zones” or worse being arrested. No one at an Obama rally is made to sign “loyalty oaths” like people were during king georges reign. So please, give your head a shake and calm down. Your pathetic life is absolutely no different than it was a year ago (if it is, it’s not because of anything Obama has done).
    And remember …. crack is very popular too. But the smart people know to stay away from it. Beck is crack for the small minded.

    Wrote a very polite email to Pet Meds. Got boilerplate garbage back.

    customerservice@1800petmeds.com

    Was very happy to see it’s the only company I have to stop using now.

    you must of missed the awesome display of power at the G20. The soft heads who dared try to speak out against the great Obama were gased, tased, and made to listen to high pitched sounds until their inner ears were damaged. It was a sight to behold. all heil Obama…may he save us all from the evil right wing adjenda..Obamaaaaaaaaa

    gas the non believers!

    Sorry! typo


  141. EugeneDebs says:

    RedstateMORON. Boycotts ARE the marketplace of ideas. Your whole post was WWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHH why should winnuts be held accountable for what they say. Its SOOOOO mean of you to show how astonishingly stupid and venal wingnuts like Beck are by exposing their stupidity and insanity outside the inbred circle of their moronic followers. Its obvious he looks like a bigoted moron because he IS a bigoted moron. WWWWWWAAAAHHHHH, man up PUNK. Just because YOU are so stupid doesnt mean we are

    Thank you for your sharing.!

    Hoooo!!! Another Beck thread! How would we ever keep up with Beck without every other thread here being about him? karin germe ameliyatlari
