Re: Group Boycotts FOX News Program

Allergan (maker of Restasis): &quot;We reviewed our commercial schedule, and based on your feedback, we've put any programming featuring Glenn Beck on our &quot;do not air&quot; 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.&quot;
Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services): &quot;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.&quot;
Best Buy
Broadview Security: &quot;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.&quot;
CVS: &quot;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.&quot;
Re-Bath: &quot;...We are no longer airing our commercials on the Glenn Beck Show...&quot;
Travelocity: &quot;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.&quot;
Wal-Mart: &quot;Walmart today confirmed the retailer pulled ads from the Glenn Beck show on August 3rd,&quot;

Fox Runs House Ads to Fill Empty Slots in Glenn Beck Boycott

Fox Runs House Ads to Fill Empty Slots in Glenn Beck Boycott
By Jim Edwards | Aug 18, 2009

ShareEmailDiggFacebookTwitterGoogleDeliciousStumbl eUponNewsvineLinkedInMy YahooTechnoratiRedditPrintRecommend0The advertiser pullout from Glenn Beck’s Fox News Channel show has gone from a trickle to a torrent, and Fox has been reduced to running “house” ads (spots for its own properties for which it receives no revenue).

According to the NY Daily News, these companies have stopped their ads on Beck: WalMart, GMAC Financial Services (Ally Bank), Best Buy, CVS and Travelocity. Tribble notes that Allergan and Broadview Security have also joined the boycott. Companies that previously yanked ads from Beck include: ConAgra, Roche, Sanofi-Aventis, RadioShack, Geico, Men’s Wearhouse, State Farm, Sargento, LexisNexis, Procter &amp; Gamble, Progressive Insurance and S.C. Johnson.

The boycott was started by ColorofChange.com after Beck’s statement on Fox &amp; Friends that Obama has:

… a deep-seeded hatred for white people … I’m not saying he doesn’t like white people, I’m saying he has a problem. This guy is, I believe, a racist.

<span style="font-style: italic">Advertisers remaining on the show — and thus on the boycott hit list — are: Honda, General Electric, Farmers Insurance, Office Depot, Nestlé (Gerber), Red Lobster, the U.S. Postal Service, and Wyeth</span>.

Fox has repeatedly noted that the advertisers have moved elsewhere on Fox, so revenue is not affected. <span style="font-weight: bold">The Daily News reported that airtime on Beck is being filled by these companies:</span>
The Wall Street Journal, DirecTV, Honda <span style="font-weight: bold">and Oprah Winfrey’s Oxygen Channel.</span>
<span style="font-style: italic">The DN failed to note that, with the exception of Honda, all of those brands are owned by Fox parent News Corp. That’s a sign that Beck is actually hurting for revenue. As BNET noted previously, it is unlikely that Fox is making up the revenue with higher prices for moved ads elsewhere in its timeslots.</span>

jah_yout,

So very well said.
A pity you won't win any friends on this board speaking to that truth.

Americans ARE dumbed down and the popularity of people like Beck and Limbaugh and so many others who appeal to the ignorant prove that point.

The most famous &quot;ethnic&quot; Mormon is Glady's Knight. Orem, Utah is the only place I ever visited that felt really strange. I could not put my finger on it.

I had a discussion with a friend about Beck's comments and Kayne West comments. Is it similar or there is no comparison? Was Beck chastised harsher because he is white and Kayne is black? I personally did not have a problem with him calling the president a racist (with no facts like Kayne West). I was more troubled by the statement &quot;deep-seated hatred for white people or the <span style="font-weight: bold">white culture</span>&quot;. Sounded to me like there was a secret society that needs to preserve the <span style="font-weight: bold">white culture</span> like Hitler attempted to do.

X-man, I went to Las Vegas years ago, and when I was at the airport preparing to go home, a plane bound for Salt Lake City was boarding. <span style="font-weight: bold"> EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE</span> getting on that plane, passengers and crew were not only caucasian, but blonde and blue-eyed. They looked like clones of each other.
(Oops, there was one Native-American male passenger who stood out like a sore thumb.)

1 in 10 Converts To Mormons, Black

When I lived in Kansas, a good while back now, I traveled quite a bit thru out the mid west: Arkansas, Oklahoma, Utah, etc, etc.

I was quite surprised to see and MEET, a number of black Mormons when I went to Utah.

Yuri, there was a time when I would be surprised but not any more. As far back as in the early 90's, I would say around 1992 on one of my trips to Jamaica, I saw them at work. It was in Mandeville where I saw the early signs of &quot;Mormonism&quot; creeping into Jamaica. It was unbelievable to me, but there they were, two young boys on bicycle, one white, the other black dressed in the usual attire, working on behalf of the Mormons in that town...

I was not sure of the level of proselytizing at the time but by now, they may have &quot;bagged&quot; a few of us. ~ Give them credit, they are trying to change with the times.. I saw that as a &quot;smart and deliberate&quot; effort on their part to recruit the young if they are hoping to build and grow in a place like Jamaica. ~ We &quot;blacks&quot; are now being sought by them. ~ That's why I'm not surprised, I saw it comming...
