Glenn Beck And The Faux Boycott

[BarrySotero]

I have listened to Glen Beck for maybe a couple hours all total. I find it torture to listen to the shtick but not about what he said concerning the communist "green jobs Czar" (who had a mental breakdown) that organized a boycott of Beck through an organization he helped form - ColorofChange (and Beck also spoke about Jones' association with the "Apollo Alliance" - that ties groups like unions (SIEU), enviro groups and Soros groups togther (and has other former weathermen terrorists like NY director of Apollo Alliance - Jeff Jones).

It turns out the advertisers claimed to be Boycotting beck aren't. Best Buy replied to fans that
they never advertised on Beck. They only advertise on Fox in the mornings. CVS never requested time on Beck.

WalMart (the store that has stores in Detroit that conform to Sharia - as determined by CAIR advisers ) did drop Beck but moved to other Fox slots.

Interestingly, WalMart pulled ads from all political commentary shows as of Aug 4. P&G has done the same (and they too never dropped BEck because they were never a sponser as claimed by the "VanGuard". They also pulled ads from other cable news networks that have political shows. It seems Jones boycott may have caused even cable allies to suffer.

Beck's ratings have gone up:


"Glenn Beck's Ratings Up Amid Obama 'Racist' Controversy"

Glenn Beck may be the subject of an advertiser boycott, but as long as his ratings remain high, he's probably not going anywhere soon. As Mediabistro's TV Newser reported yesterday, Beck's 5 PM Fox News show had record high ratings last week with nearly 2.5 million total viewers tuning in to see his highly theatrical take on current events.

The best thing people can do to a jackass like Glen Beck is ignore him, not organize big loud boycotts about him.

I don't have anything to say other than I love you BarrySotero, you are the cream in my coffee.

Glenn Beck is a loony tunes ethical and moral turd. He parrots Rupert Murdoch's loony tunes ethically challenged line, but Murdoch is primarily in business to make money. All the "ratings" stats in the world will only last so long, and they won't save Beck if he can't maintain enough sponsors, who actually pay Faux's bills, willing to have his stench associated with their names.

American Idol gets better ratings than Lost too. Thing is, American Idol is still garbage, it's just fun watching a car wreck sometimes.

so, you're saying vote for the worst can finally claim a victory

 

[umbrella39]

Watching this kind of programming (no matter what network) isn't something to be proud of or cheer about in the first place. Congrats are in order I guess to the fools that watch and the folks who advertise to the LCD.

You keep acting as if being part of the biggest group of morons this country has ever seen isn't actually pathetic. You are like the Army of Dumb's proud teenaged Papa and biggest cheerleader, it's precious, it really is.

 

[seemingly random]

There is somebody out there willing to pay big bucks for this kind of unmitigated spinning. Hope you can hook up with them. Then you can throw a big party for all of us suckers who you practiced your craft on.

 

[Druidx]

One small problem, all these shows people are referring to as news are not news shows. They are editorial commentary done for entertainment.
If you enjoy O?Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Olbermann or Maddow, great otherwise turn the channel.

That was 10 months ago. It only took 10 months for the Dems to fuck up their majority. They Dems are losing House and Senate seats in 2010. The question is how many.

Exactly.

Why do you think this 'health care reform' hasn't passed? its not like the Democrats control the house and have a super majority in the senate. It should be a slam dunk.

It isn't a slam dunk because the Ds don't goosestep to the vote like the Rs.

Heaven forbid you actually have a congressional group negotiate and fight and debate and compromise and work together on a solution!

Oh, and you can simply forget including the opposition party in any of the proceedings...they are only good at lying and saying "no"

Damn...people need a reality check...the legislative process is actually WORKING and apparently thats not good for some people.

And the top-selling newspaper in America during the 1920s was the Dearborn Independent. Who cares what idiots watch?

Straight ticket Republican hacks haven't yet figured out that the GOP has practically reached 3rd party status at this point. And if the Blue Dogs split off from the Dems and formed their own party, the GOP would be a 3rd party.
What's really weird is how the wingnuts can't figure out that the success of their own partisan propaganda is evidence of the GOP's demise. Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh say to toe the ideological line or get out. The faithful tune in regularly and chant the latest talking points. The rest of America, given no other choice, votes Democrat.
