Foundation urges sponsors to shun Fox News
UPI.com ^

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- A California non-profit is urging sponsors to pull their ads from Fox News Channel, because of "a would-be assassin inspired by" Fox personality Glenn Beck.

The Tides Foundation, which says it promotes human rights, justice, and a healthy, sustainable environment, has come in for frequent criticism on Beck's show. A suspect in a July 28 shootout with police, Byron Williams, told police in an affidavit he had intended to go to the Tides Foundation's office in San Francisco and kill founder and Chief Executive Officer Drummond Pike.

Wow, it’s only a joke! OK then Boycott Windsurfing!

You said:
“Terresa Heinz Kerry has NOTHING to do with Heinz Company or ketchup...”

According to Snopes, the Heinz family (which donates at least $140 million annually through 3 family foundations) still owned a 4% interest in the company. Probly (sic) some nice dividends with that - you think?

So, assuming they still own around 4% of the HNZ - with a market cap around $16 Billion, that’s $640 Million - that’s a lot of catsup SatinDoll. ;)

Here’s more info on the way that Theresa Heinz Kerry (and I suppose we could throw John in there too) help distribute the Foundations’ loot:

“Byron Williams’ “shootout” and subsequent survival and very convenient explanation seem like a total setup to me.”

Wouldn’t put it past ‘em. How much would they LOVE to take Beck down a few notches.

Democrat stooge, no doubt. They’ll do anything for power, including starting a thousand versions of the Reichstag Fire.

"Beck tells viewers that Tides has 'funneled' money to 'some of the most extreme groups on the left;' and that our mission is to 'warp your children's brains and make sure they know how evil capitalism is,'" Pike wrote...

That's true. Should dissemination of the truth be banned because it makes some people angry? We have loads of traitors in this country and we need to do something about it.

They need to try and understand why Williams hated them so much. After all, it’s probably their fault.

I think Glenn ought to open a mousse shoppe at their ground zero.

Fox News should charge a subscription fee instead of depending on sponsors for commercial money. They’re probably the one news network that could do it and thrive. I’d pay $15 a month for access to Fox News.

There is NO other news channel allowed on in this house. My remote might explode if it had to go to one of those other channels. We watch the local news, then switch to FNC.

Should Dish Network drop FNC, I’d drop them!

I just never understood rich Marxists. Why don’t they just give their money away and leave the rest of us alone?

Boycott CNN, MSNBC, Weatherchannel and anything coming from California. FoxNews and being a Freeper are my sources for information

So the company Heinz and the Heinz family should be punished because the founding family still owns 4% of the company, and their Republican Senator family member had an widow (Teresa) who married a Democrat and funds him lavishly with the money she got from her dead husband?

Really?

Guess that will teach them to elect Republican Senators from their family with politically opportunistic wives!

Sheesh.

The Tides Foundation, which is another anti-American left-wing front organization. Thanks mandaladon.

About 1/20th of the Heinz Co. funds leftist causes year after year after year, and you’re OK with that?

Teresa Heinz Kerry inherited the Heinz family trust (with $1.5 Billion in assets, $140 million/year in spending and giving - http://www.undueinfluence.com/heinz.htm - and which owns 4% of the Heinz company (HNZ - around $600 Million of market cap) with all it’s dividend income as well.) She also inherited a Heinz *family* fortune worth $500 million.

Ah no, but we should be OK with all this as, one day, long ago, Teresa married a Republican Senator, and the Heinz(es) were a Republican family.

How is it that their entire wealth and labors are now controlled by leftists? And yes, hundreds of millions ($75 million/year) go toward leftist causes. How did that happen, if these people were such good Republicans?

And you’re seriously lecturing me about pointing this out?

Really??!
