It is...but is this confirmed? Has General Mills announced their pulling out, like advertisers for Beck did?

They were probably looking for an excuse anyways because the ratings stink.

This would be great. Beck didn’t even say that word on his own show. Uberdork probably calls people names everyday and doesn’t he do the ‘Worst Person in the World?’

Gee, ya think that might be a tad offensive to some people? if they watched of course

If it did wonders for Beck then Ubergoof will try the same.

I hope this isn't a “Tit 4 Tat” deal. Pop told me, You never get in a fight with someone who has nothing to lose.

Olbermann is a total joke. He should have stayed with sports. He’s nothing more than a liberal, biased, Obama lapdog. It still is perplexing to me why they let him and Mr. Tingly Leg do election night anchor work. He’s a COMMENTATOR, not an anchor. Fox doesn’t let Beck, Hannity or O’Reilly do anchor work. By letting him do it it shows MSNBS’s total lack of integrity or objectivity. He’s good for a few good laughs, though.

The hypocrites who removed their ads from BECK under pressure from the white house gave the excuse that they did not run on ‘contoversial’ programs.

So.. if they remove them from beck they need to remove them from everyplace else... I am beginning to like this!

That's exactly the group Alinsky recruits. Nothing to lose and willing to do almost anything for any gain.

They are removing their ads from MSNBC prime time shows after they gave their reason for not being on Beck. Blowback to MSNBC is sweet!

Some of those who pulled on Beck have claimed that they are backing out of all talk host tv. But they still have a ways to go to cut their contracts.

Long story short, these companies have done as Democrats.Com requested. These companies boycotted because Democrats.com told them too. They made their choice. Boycott the boycotters.

This is great news. Obie could probably be heard cussing a block away when he got the news.
