It has really, "Hit the Fan"

What boycott? As I’ve said all along, the Glenn Beck boycott is backfiring.
First off, the group behind the boycott, Color of Change, keeps targeting big companies – most recently, RadioShack -- that have never had anything to do with Glenn Beck’s FOX News show.
Other advertisers have decided to pull their ads from ALL cable shows, left and right, stripping leftwing media allies like Keith Olbermann with even less ad revenue than ever.
But it gets better: according to the latest ratings, viewers are tuning out the wall to wall Ted Kennedy hagiography and watching... Glenn Beck. He has more viewers now than ever before!
It hasn’t hurt that Sarah Palin is telling her Facebook friends to watch Beck’s show!
--snip--
(Elsewhere on the dial, liberal radio host Mike Malloy declared on the air that the other Kennedy brothers (John and Robert) had been “murdered by the right wing in this country.”
(That would come as an awful shock to JFK’s assassin, were Lee Harvey Oswald still alive – the young man described himself matter of factly as a Marxist-Leninist on a local Dallas tv show, and had even briefly defected to the Soviet Union! As for RFK’s killer, Sirhan Sirhan hated the Senator for being too pro-Israel – hardly a “right wing” stance; incredibly, Obama’s leftist radical friend Bill Ayers even dedicated one of his books to RFK's assassin!)
No wonder liberals want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine – with on-air declarations like those, no wonder the general public doesn’t want to listen to their twisted programs.(continued)

Go, Glenn Beck!!
My bet is that this Kennedy thing will garner some of the lowest ratings that FOX has ever had. I could not even watch any of their news the last three days because of it. Thank goodness for the Science and Geographical channels...
I’d bet that many reruns have more ratings that watching this Kennedy media self-worship. Still trying to understand why the media thinks that politicians are worthy of coverage...
How about showing the life of my Used Car Salesman and his all too early demise... He did more for the community than any politician from Washington ever did!
They want to bring back the ‘fairness’ doctrine so that people like you can’t disseminate actual facts like:
(That would come as an awful shock to JFK’s assassin, were Lee Harvey Oswald still alive – the young man described himself matter of factly as a Marxist-Leninist on a local Dallas tv show, and had even briefly defected to the Soviet Union! As for RFK’s killer, Sirhan Sirhan hated the Senator for being too pro-Israel – hardly a “right wing” stance; incredibly, Obama’s leftist radical friend Bill Ayers even dedicated one of his books to RFK’s assassin!)
The truth sells the best.
Until now, I had never heard of Mike Malloy. Is he braindead or what?
You're right. I'm glad I did and I do know about Shatner's show and will be certain to watch when Rush's appearance airs!
Mike Malloy was on Air America Radio, and is now on some other network that still gets airplay on the Minnesota AAR station. If he is saying that Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan were part of the “right wing conspiracy”, then he is off his meds again.
Malloy has even made claims that F.A. Hayek and Ludwig von Mises were part of the Nazi economic program. Hey Mike, what kind of magic mushrooms were you eating when you came up with that one?
Ya know, I'm betting Americans as a whole learned more about Science and Geography, cooking, home improvement and gardening, Forensics and cold case files this week than they have in years.......
It sounds to me as though Mrs. Malloy's, little Mikey, is engaging in a little "profiling." Good commie libs don't do that, do they? Obviously, the moron never read "The Road to Serfdom."
“The truth sells the best.”
To honest people.
I shouted out “Who killed the Kennedys”
When after all....WTF cares?
“Thank goodness for the Science and Geographical channels...”
I’ve been watching TCM and DVDs I’ve purchased while avoiding the debacle on FoxNews - you have to wonder who is making those programming choices. Perhaps they’re not clear on who their audience is.
Here’s a prediction:
Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and others in the Bahamas broadcasting “Radio Free America.”
Ditto for my family, except Netflix is the clear winner for viewing here. I sincerely hope their business has increased phenomenally as no one I know wants to spend over an hour of their weekend watching a hearse travel down a road, no matter who is in it and non-stop blathering about what they consider the near sainthood of this man who should have served jail time for his failure to report Mary Jo's death promptly and failure to attempt rescuing her and saving her life.
Well it is actually worse than the fairness doctrine. If you watch the clips (link below), The FCC Diversity Czar is a guy who thinks Chavez takeover of Venezuela is great, and state-run media should be the norm. Wants to tax at 100% according to Media Research Center.

Which is why I find Obama’s attendance at TK’s services today as such an afront and in such poor taste (unbelievably poor taste!). He has no sense of right and wrong whatsoever, does he?
And the MSM looks down on US for not being Kennedy fans?
The FCC has a Diversity Czar?
Yes, Glenn Beck had Rush Limbaugh on his show; they were discussing it. I believe it was the Wednesday show this week. See clips....
The FCC has a Diversity Commisar.
What is the goal of that position?
A lot of people say that stuff was just fine so long as it was done by a Republican, which is putting party labels over principles.
Even though I may disagree with Glenn on a few things, he does a ton of great work.
“Diversity” is how they are going to do “Fairness Doctrine’ this time around. “Diversity” is this season’s magic word that justifies any and all measures.
Something else you might want to consider: sending an email to all the brands you don’t normally honor, and let them know what pieces of dog squeeze you ALREADY think they are.
Just a thought...
“It hasn’t hurt that Sarah Palin is telling her Facebook friends to watch Beck’s show!”
Palin doesn’t forget her friends, and Glenn Beck was very kind to her, plus they agree on a large number of important conservative issues.
