As NewsBuster Matthew Vadum reported Wednesday, a race-baiting group named Color Of Change -- co-founded by President Obama's "Green Jobs Czar" Van Jones -- has launched a campaign to get companies to stop advertising on Glenn Beck's television program.
Recent press releases from COC concerning Beck have listed as the contact "Brandon Hatler -- Sunshine, Sachs & Associates."
As Variety reported in May 2007, SSA is a powerful New York-based public relations firm with quite an impressive list of clients:
Current clients include Ben Affleck, Jon Bon Jovi, Kelly Clarkson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jimmy Fallon, the Farrelly brothers, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, John Mayer, Bette Midler, Michael Moore, Tyler Perry, Barbra Streisand and Michelle Wie.
On Monday, COC published the following press release concerning Beck listing Hatler as contact: Story Continues Below Ad ↓
"We applaud GEICO and all of the other companies who have stepped forward to pull their ads from Glenn Beck," said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org. "Beck's rhetoric is dangerous to the fabric of our democracy, and we are heartened that so many big companies feel the same way. We won't stop here -- we're going to continue our fight to see that as many of Beck's advertisers pull their support as possible."
Two weeks ago, ColorOfChange.org called on its 600,000-plus members to sign a petition urging companies who advertise on Glenn Beck to cut off their advertising support of his work. More than 75,000 members responded to the call by signing a petition directed at advertisers.
As RBO uncovered last week, SSA also represents Van Jones's Green for All, "a national organization working to build an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty."
When you add it all up, a current member of the Obama administration is co-founder of a group trying to get a conservative talker off the air, and is being assisted by a powerful New York PR firm.
And America's so-called journalists couldn't care less.
check out the latest ratings, remember BOR is on twice a night (Beck is, too).
I hear that.
Beck 2,386,000
Blitzer 636,000
Matthews 536,000
Then you have BOR:
3,788,000 and 1,927,000
(Brown) 643,000 and Cooper 466,000
Olberman 1,136,000 and Maddow 540,000
And?
Considering Beck is on when *most* conservatives are either at their jobs or coming home from them, he kicks ass.
Those same viewers don’t have the luxury of staying up til 2am, either.
Give him a prime time slot and then show me stats.
Ratings talk.
BS walks.
I didn’t post those stats as a put-down of Beck, but to show that if they keep this up (trying to destroy him) BOR has a huge audience to take the companies to task over... but remember, recently the same groups managed to get UPS to pull all their ads off of BOR’s program.
Yet without UPS, O’reilly’s still on.
They’re too stupid to realize the boycotts only hurt *them*.
BOR’s ratings have been exploding — actually the entire lineup has been exploding, people are not stupid, they know CNN and MSNBC are full of it... he is now beating Katie Couric.
Progressive Insurance is a big lib outfit...like Costco
...and let them know!!!
“he is now beating Katie Couric.”
It’s late, I’m tired and my sense of humor runs towards the twisted but that actually made me LOL....:))
....let them know!
When I heard the Progressive actress say "Power to the people!" in their latest ad my thought was 'that outfit is probably run by a bunch of Marx-quoting libs'.
God, I do love a great backfire when I see one ...Amen to all that!
Aye! :)
If it was Van jones Glenn talked about today he is a guy who was arrested in the Rodney King riots
went to prison and claims he went in prison as an anarchist and came out a communist.
