Ad Boycott Costs Glenn Beck Over 50% of Ad Dollars
 

62 Companies Refusing to Advertise with Beck Cost Fox

Nearly $600k Per Week



OAKLAND, Calif. — The advertising boycott of Glenn Beck has cost the
controversial host over half of his estimated advertising revenue since
it was launched by ColorOfChange.org a month ago. This according to data
analyzed from industry sources.



Estimated advertising revenue [the total amount of advertising money
being spent during a block of commercial time for a program] was
collected on a week-by-week basis for a period of two months. According
to the data collected, the amount of money spent by national advertisers
on Beck’s program per week was at its highest at approximately
$1,060,000, for the week ending August 2, 2009. ColorOfChange.org
launched their campaign at the end of that week and since then, 62
advertisers have distanced themselves from Beck. Data collected for the
week ending September 6, 2009 shows Beck’s estimated ad revenue at
$492,000, equal to a loss of $568,000.


“Fox News Channel has consistently claimed they haven’t lost revenue as
advertisers abandon Glenn Beck, but the numbers prove otherwise,” said
James Rucker, Executive Director of ColorOfChange.org. “Fox News Channel
has a limited amount of ad positions. If 62 companies refuse to run ads
on two of their 24 hours of programming, they are losing inventory. No
matter how high Beck’s ratings have been lately, advertisers still see
Beck as toxic and don't want him associated with their brands. There is
no way that Fox News Channel is making the money they should be making
with Glenn Beck.”



ColorOfChange.org launched its campaign against Beck last month after
the Fox News Channel host called President Obama a “racist” who “has a
deep-seated hatred for white people” during an appearance on Fox &
Friends, remarks that they say indicates a pattern of race-baiting and
fear-mongering on Beck's part. ColorOfChange.org called on its members
to sign a petition urging companies who advertise on Glenn Beck to cut
off their advertising support of his work. To date, over 180,000 people
have signed the petition and 62 companies have pledged to not run any
additional advertisements during Glenn Beck’s show.



Speaking about the current roster of advertisers on Beck's show, Rucker
said, “It’s clear that we are making an impact at Fox News Channel –
data that we have for last week shows that Beck’s top three advertisers
were Beachbody (creator of P90X Exercise Equipment), Egg Genie and
Telebrands (creator of Jupiter Jack).”


The following is a list of the companies who have distanced themselves
from Glenn Beck: Aegon, Ashley Furniture, Airware Inc. (makers of Brez
anti-snoring aids), Allergan (maker of Restasis), Ally Bank (a unit of
GMAC Financial Services), Ancestry.com, Applebee’s, AT&T, Bank of
America, Best Buy, Binder & Binder, Blaine Labs Inc., Broadview
Security, Campbell Soup Company, Capital One, ConAgra, Clorox, CVS, The
Dannon Company, DirecTv, Discover, Ditech, The Elations Company,
Experian (creator of FreeCreditReport.com), Farmers Insurance Group,
GEICO, General Mills, HSBC, Humana, ICAN Benefit Group Insurance,
Infiniti, Jelmar (manufacturer of CLR All-Purpose Cleaner) Johnson &
Johnson (makers of Tylenol), Jordan McKenna Debt Counseling Network,
Kraft, Lawyers.com, Lowe’s, Luxottica Retail (retail parent of
LensCrafters and Pearle Vision), Men’s Wearhouse, Mercedes-Benz,
NutriSystem, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, RadioShack,
Re-Bath, Regions Financial Corporation, Roche, Sam (Store and Move), SC

African-American online political organization in the country.

Ad Boycott Costs Glenn Beck Over 50% of Ad Dollars
 

Oh, think nothing of it, Harry.

When somebody pulles their advertising, somebody else takes their
place. Besides, if you want to really hurt Fox, you pull the plug on
your cable or satilite dish and cut them off. after all, your
subscription pays a lot for the programming wether you think so or
not.

GMC pulled their advertising. That's great. Bully for them. Beck is
still widly popular and his audience is still growing. So when you're
needing business. ...pull l your ads. ...That's sensable, especially
when your corporation is floundering.


And it's interesting, that Beck's audience is growing Not only on Fox,
but radio time, and possibly passing up Limbaugh, but I cant verify
that.

So the way I see it, those who pull their ads are just giving up on a
prime marketing oppertunity, and I may be wrong but it could be their
loss. Not beck's nor Fox, but theirs and theirs alone.

Some advertisers have standards. Others run advertising fearmongering
shows like Beck's.

The fact that Beck has a large audience of retards does not matter.
McDonald's sells the most hamburgers, but they are still crappy hamburgers.

I hope you don't listen to Beck. You present as a Christian with a
conscience. Beck's best boys are trash like herring.

Then, my advice to you is not to associate politics or religion with
the marketing of your widgets..... whether it is Beck or Maddow (or
both) you are going to **** somebody off and they will try to punish
you with a boycott.....

.... hell, we can't even discuss boating anymore because somebody----
anybody got elected to the White House...

How could you discuss boats with half the righties in here? They're

Be careful what you read, Harry.

"The Oakland, Calif.-based group, Color of Change spearheaded the
boycott of the show (which, by the way, has an audience of over 2
million viewers) to protest Beck’s remark last month that he believes
President Obama is “a racist.”

The group says that so far 36 companies including Ancestry.com,
Walmart Stores, Berkshire Hathaway's Geico and Men's Wearhouse have
said they won’t advertise on Beck’s show. "

OK, so far so good.

Now here's what's sort of counteractive with your above list:

"Some companies, however, never advertised on the show and others such
as Procter & Gamble and S.C. Johnson recently said they had never
meant to advertise and their ads were placed there by mistake....But
most interestingly, Clorox Co. has said it is pulling its ad dollars
out of all politically oriented talk programs. ..."


So, i suppose if you are pulling your ad's from ALL pol. talk, you can
be listed as pulling away from Beck or Fox, right?

Not only that, but if you never put any ads on political talk, that
means you're pulling your ads from Beck or Fox, right? Even if you
didn't have any ads to pull?


most interesting.

And that would have been pretty damn funny.

Sure it does. I don't think Tim plays at being a Christian, as so many
self-proclaiming Christians here do. I think he is the real deal, within
limitations. He has a conscience. John Herring claims to be a Catholic,
a Christian, but that's a bull**** claim. He's a conscious-less dirtbag.

One of the many meanings of the word "present" includes the way
I used it.

He "presents" as a Christian means he either directly or indirectly
comes across as someone who follows teachings of the Christian religion
with a conscience. We have a couple of dirtbags here who present
themselves as Christians but who do not follow the teachings.

Obviously, he told the truth.

Yeah, so obvious that you jumped on it like a skanky whore.



What do you mean, "like a skanky whore"?

What do you think herring is, if not a skanky whore?

Being a man of faith, doesn't mean ****. Jim Jones
was a man of faith.

It means something to "H the K," else he wouldn't have made his
particular appeal to Tim.

He said "Christian with a conscience", so I suppose
you could have said "Doesn't Beck have a conscience?".
And that would have been pretty damn funny.

But the full sentence... "You present as a Christian
with a conscience." doesn't make any sense anyway.


Sure it does.

"You present as a Christian with a conscience." makes
sense to you? Perhaps you may have left out an
important word that clarifies who you're talking about?
Maybe the word "yourself", if you were talking about Tim,
would have made it clear? Otherwise I could have just as
easily inserted the word "him" and it would sound like
Tim has previously presented Beck as a Christian with a
conscience, which, of course, would have been hysterical.



One of the many meanings of the word "present" includes the way
I used it.

In which school do they teach that?

Present = to introduce
Present = a gift
Present = in attendance
Present = now
In law, presents = this document(s)

But I take it that you were referring to the meaning
as "to introduce". "You introduce as a Christian" doesn't
sound right.

He "presents" as a Christian means he either directly or indirectly
comes across as someone who follows teachings of the Christian religion
with a conscience. We have a couple of dirtbags here who present
themselves as Christians but who do not follow the teachings.
^^^^^^^^^

Now there you go. You used the word "themselves" to
delineate your meaning and it becomes clear. Without
specifying "who", you leave it up to the reader to
guess.

I just can't find any examples of your way of using
the word, here...

Is it an ebonics thing?

In order to prove your point you'd think that
in all that you've copied and pasted that the
words "present to be" would occur once. No
such luck.

And you'd think that if it were proper you'd
get at least a few hits on Google with the
exact phrase "present to be Christian". You
get two, but they're both "...present. To be
Christian...". Can you imagine that? No one
on the web has written those words together
in the context you've used?


I can show you the way to the water, but if you want to drink, it is up
to you.

I pointed out the context to you. There's no rule in English that
requires a dictionary to provide an example of every way a word may be
used. There's also no requirement in English that every phrase one uses
results from a previous, similar use.

Hell, there's no rule that requires a name to be spelled a certain way,
right, "Jordon"?

See what you can learn from a *real* dictionary?

:)

I see you came with your Howitzer's fully loaded. Erudition and
recondite references win the day. BTW, what is the reference source?


OED, Second Edition, Volume 3.

I have the CD electronic version of that one, plus the
20-volume hardbound set of Second Edition and the supplements.

Bought the hardbound set at an estate sale long before the CD versions
were available, but I still use both.


Though it feels strange rolling off the tongue, I'll have to admit
that I'm envious.

This one's for you:

vexed or discontented at
the good fortune or qualities of another. Const. †against, †at, of, †to
with n. or inf.


And thou shalt not covet...

(Actually I do have an electronic version of the OED. But it's buried
in the scores of discs and dvd's I have littered across the house.)

You did not point out any context except your own.
Can you provide any examples that use it in the
same context? A link, to anything? As in: "present
to be" followed by a proper noun. And if it sounds
like ebonics, it doesn't count.

Hell, there's no rule that requires a name to be spelled a certain way,

My mother wanted to get her brother's name in there
and his name was Don.

My bad. Should have read "like the skanky whore you are."
