Glenn Beck LOST!
"Walmart, Best Buy, CVS, and GMAC are among eight major advertisers that have confirmed pulling their advertising from Fox News' "Glenn Beck" program in light of his comments that President Obama is a racist.
The advertisers did not pull their spots from Fox News, but rather requested that their ads do not air during Beck's 5PM program.
The advertisers in the latest round of pull-out from Beck's show and their statements to ColorOfChange.org:
Allergan (maker of Restasis): "We reviewed our commercial schedule, and based on your feedback, we've put any programming featuring Glenn Beck on our "do not air" list. This means that you will no longer see any Restasis ads during programming featuring Glenn Beck. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention."
Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services): "Ally advertises on a broad spectrum of programs to reach our potential customers. Our advertising is not an endorsement of editorial content on any program. We have ceased to advertise on the Glenn Beck program."
Best Buy
Broadview Security: "Given the considerations, we have requested of Fox News not to include us in the rotation that would have our commercials running on Glenn Beck's show."
CVS: "While advertising on Fox is part of our communication plan, we had not requested time on Glenn Beck's show specifically. We have instructed our advertising agency to inform Fox to ensure Glenn Beck's program is not part of our advertising plan."
Re-Bath: "...We are no longer airing our commercials on the Glenn Beck Show..."
Travelocity: "We did not specifically place our ad on the show. We buy ads in bulk and then they are placed somewhat randomly. However, we have now specifically asked that our ads do not appear during this show."
Wal-Mart: "Walmart today confirmed the retailer pulled ads from the Glenn Beck show on August 3rd,"
These companies join a growing list of advertisers to pull their ads from Beck's show, including ConAgra, GEICO, Lawyers.com, Men's Wearhouse, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, RadioShack, Roche, SC Johnson, Sanofi-Aventis, Sargento, and State Farm Insurance."

His personality failed him, probably tried to emulate Bill O'reilly too much. But Bill doesn't cross some boundaries.

Re: Glenn Beck LOST!
Bill O'reilly doesn't really care about he says, he is a smart businessman. He tells the rednecks and the country pumpkins what they want to hear. He tours each and everyone of the "evil liberal media" to sell his books. His appearances on the David Letterman Show are legendary.nomadicwarlord wrote:His personality failed him, probably tried to emulate Bill O'reilly too much. But Bill doesn't cross some boundaries.

Re: Glenn Beck LOST!
Did you watch the Hannity vs Christopher Hitchens debate on the death of Jerry Falwel? The best episode, per none, from that show. Mr Hitchens called him "unlettered" and totally smacked him sillynomadicwarlord wrote:I miss Hannity and Colmes Show, that was a prime time comedy.Twisted_Logic wrote:Bill O'reilly doesn't really care about he says, he is a smart businessman.

Re: Glenn Beck LOST!
I watched that show, Hannity doesn't think when he talks, it was classic when he tried to accuse Hitchens for insulting that Reverand's family which is untrue. Hannity would go at great length protecting conservatives whether they were right or wrong on certain issues. Didn't know much about Hitchens work but he def put Hannity on his place

Re: Glenn Beck LOST!
Christopher Hitchens is the prophet of reason. He puts demagogues and pseudo-intellectuals of all sorts in their places. Here is him debating Al Sharpton. You almost feel sorry for Al Sharptonnomadicwarlord wrote:I watched that show, Hannity doesn't think when he talks, it was classic when he tried to accuse Hitchens for insulting that Reverand's family which is untrue.

You can watch the entire program here. It is about an hour and half long

Re: Glenn Beck LOST!
I'll make sure I watch that Al-Sharpton clip and look at Hitchens work. Hannity will never be the same without Colmes who at times also put him in check.

Re: Glenn Beck LOST!
A good place to begin Christopher Hitchens is his 2006 book Love, War, and Poverty. It is a collection of all his writing on society and politics. On the first pages of this very book he calls the English poet and writer Sir Rudyard Kipling a "man of permenent contradictions." This I belief is the best description of Hitchens. He is an outspoken, some would say militant, critic of Islamic/religious extremism one on hand and a great defender of the Palestinian and Kurdish rights. An ally of the liberals on Social issues and the darling of the neo-cons on security matters. A huge critic of ex-sec of state Henry Kissinger and Mother Tereas ( he titled his book on her as The Missionary Position ) and Bill Clinton.nomadicwarlord wrote:I'll make sure I watch that Al-Sharpton clip and look at Hitchens work.

Hitchens should be read in every middle and high school in America.

Re: Glenn Beck LOST!
I don't really think O'reilly and Limbaugh even believe everything they say, they just do it cause thats what the far right wants to hear and to earn that chedda, on the other hand this guy Beck who's an alcaholic, believes every word he says, what a nacas.Twisted_Logic wrote:Bill O'reilly doesn't really care about he says, he is a smart businessman.

Re: Glenn Beck LOST!
ok hold on hold on here......Let us NOT put Oreily and Limbo in the same level. Tafadhlaan please! Rush Limbo is a fanatic, brainless pumkin. Oreilly is an opportunistic -semi intellectual harvard graduate. OK--lets distinguish them clearly here.
I enjoy watching oreilly. I have a sort of masochistic relationship with him. I tune in his show to see how he yells and abuses the bold liberals who appear in his show. When he yells and demands them to shup up and listen. I do too.In my pajamas of course.
Other than that- i think The factor--is an informative, entertainingly window to the soul of a modern republican mind! In the morning i watch Morning Joe--in the evening--Oreilly--one has to have an anti dote of an addiction. U cant just drink liberal colaid all the time!
