Glenn’s audience is up something like 125% over last year this time. If those sponsors drop out the only ones they’re hurting is themselves. Let’s see, the viewship of Glenn’s show versus the liberal complainers who watch CNN or MSNBC. Glenn’s show draws more watchers during that hour than all the other news stations combined. I don’t think Fox or Glenn have anything to worry about.
"Thank you, first of all for your business and also for your interest in this matter. This week we took action to move our marketing messages from the Glenn Beck show and you are wondering why. Well you deserve an answer. If the inflammatory nature of the comments on a program overshadows our message and causes GEICO to be drawn into a national debate, we are likely to reconsider where we place our marketing messages, which is what we did. GEICO delivers very important messages through its major marketing campaigns: we’re saving customers’ dollars, we’re easy to do business with, we’re looking out for our policyholders. That’s what we hope the public hears and sees and focuses on. As a company, we do not take positions on controversial issues. As an advertiser, while a national debate on issues can be healthy and appropriate, we don’t see ourselves in the role of taking part in those debates. Our business is auto insurance. We want to bring people value and we attempt to reach large audiences with that message. It is of little benefit to us if a program gets so much attention that our message is drowned out."
It would appear that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackup are not the only race pimps.Suggest you read both sites with GEICo respone to get the full favor of what or who is going down.
