Sister Irma Here's for you," More Advertisers Bolt Glenn Beck" (420 hits)
James Ruckers reports that 3 more companies have withdrawn their advertisements from the Glenn Beck show, bringing the total number of companies who have dropped Beck up to 36.
NEW YORK — Glenn Beck returns to Fox News Channel on Monday after a vacation with fewer companies willing to advertise on his show than when he left, part of the fallout from calling President Barack Obama a racist. A total of 33 Fox advertisers, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., CVS Caremark, Clorox and Sprint, directed that their commercials not air on Beck's show, according to the companies and ColorofChange.org, a group that promotes political action among blacks and launched a campaign to get advertisers to abandon him. That's more than a dozen more than were identified a week ago.
While it's unclear what effect, if any, this will ultimately have on Fox and Beck, it is already making advertisers skittish about hawking their wares within the most opinionated cable TV shows. The Clorox Co., a former Beck advertiser, now says that "we do not want to be associated with inflammatory speech used by either liberal or conservative talk show hosts." The maker of bleach and household cleaners said in a statement that it has decided not to advertise on political talk shows.
The shows present a dilemma for advertisers, who usually like a "safe" environment for their messages. The Olbermanns, Hannitys, O'Reillys, Maddows and Becks of the TV world are more likely to say something that will anger a viewer, who might take it out on sponsors. They also host the most-watched programs on their networks. "This is a good illustration of that conundrum," said Rich Hallabran, spokesman for UPS Stores, which he said has temporarily halted buying ads on Fox News Channel as a whole.
Beck can bring the eyeballs. With the health care debate raising political temperatures, his show had its biggest week ever right before his vacation, averaging 2.4 million viewers each day, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The only prayer /chant I will do for Beck and others like him is for him to get off television and radio. ((lol))

Thanks Jen.LOL ..love you much(smile)
This poor guy has lost it...Poor guy he has no clue there is a real world out here...I did notice that when he returned, the first words out of his mouth was, "This program is about my own opinion"? Now Fox is listing themselves as a CABLE NEWS CHANNEL are they not?!?
What's up, and does any one else monitor any of fox or do you just get sick at the stomach just thinking about their racist bull. Beck has declared a private war on another , no on two African-American males. Van Jones who was originally at ColorOfChange and now was the creator of the clunkers for cash government's program. And, Loydd the head of a new department of the FCC. It is called the diversity department division of the FCC.
Rush Limbaugh peobable today told the first and only truth, fact about what is going on in the real World when he said to Beck that he was dealing with people from the 6os. YES HE IS, because the 60s was all about forcing our Federal Government to enforce the laws already on the books against JIM CROW.(smile)
YES WE CAN...

Does anyone have any idea why the fox network would have Glenn Beck himself be voicing a disclaimer that the network has nothing to do eith his personal OPINIONS?!?
I know the owner of this network has lost about 2 or 3 law suits this past year and his stock has gone down by Olbermann says almost half of what it was a year ago.The only thing I cam come up with is the station is allowing to continue to say in public what his station owner says that keeps getting him intolaw suits he looses. they both must just can not stop their selves...Should we pray for this lost soul and give him some slack because this is actually a mental illness?????????????
Yes, I am serious...

What I like about Olbermann and Maddow is they unlike Hannit yand O'reilly is that they actually try to show PROOF in a Tangable manner. Maddow actually tells her audience how she was able to find this information and where you the viewer can go find this information for your self.
I so thank her because trying to find this information has so many twist and turns that some times "I" just give up.example "I" am still trying to find out who actuallyown Fox cable news channel. Is it even an individual who actually own's the Fox enterprise as there are so many, many who owns what part of it and it is a never ending process as this information can change the day after you found something of owner ship,ect....
