Healthy Choice, Radio Shack, Roche and Sanofi-Aventis pull ads from Fox News’ Glenn Beck
Hi, Afro-Netizens! This is James Rucker of ColorofChange.org, and I’m really excited to be blogging here for the first time today.
More great news today in our campaign calling on Glenn Beck’s advertisers to pull their support from his show. With more than 125,000 people now having signed our petition to Beck’s advertisers, four more major companies have pulled their ads.

He better watch himself. The only reason Deutsch “made it” is he rode his daddy’s coattails and used his father’s connections in NY.
Problem with this strategy is:
Glenn Beck’s ratings are high.
MSNBC and CNBC’s aren’t.
People who want their products to be seen will come around and spend the dough. Buffett’s going to be exposed for the liberal robber baron that he is some day.
I've noticed your company has decided to enter the emotionally-charged field of politics. While you claim to want exactly the opposite, your recent decision to stop advertising during the Glenn Beck program on Fox News places your company squarely into the fray. At the specific behest of a liberal activist organization, you have taken direction from these same activists on where to not invest your advertising. By becoming unaligned with the Glenn Beck audience you have decided to specifically align with radicals who are anti-corporate and anti-capitalist. Well done!
Since your latest advertising determination is to eschew your actual customers at the behest of those who hate your company, let it be known that your advertising has worked. As long as you hold to the political positions of my country's enemies, I will patronize your competition. I no longer need your specific product as it is just another commodity which is available from any number of other manufacturers, many of whom actually value the paronage of their customers.
If you should ever again determine that you want to stop taking direction from those who are working against my family's best interests, just come home to the Glenn Beck program. I could consider your products once again.
Leftwing censorship at work.
Funny thing was I glad to watch the repeat of Glen’s show last night at 2AM instead of Hannity. Glen’s great to watch and glad I had a chance ‘cause at 5PM I was busy.
Deutsch is a horses ass who had (has?) a program on CNBC or one of them mutt cable wannabbes. He wishes he was of FOX.
You seem to really be on this dude. You are going to lose.
You make me sick.
I NEED A BATH after going through some of these websites!

Now, Wal-Mart, CVS, Best Buy, Travelocity, and several other big name companies, have all pulled their advertising from FOX’s Glenn Beck Show, according to a press release from ColorOfChange.org. I wonder when Rupert will have had enough?
From the ColorOfChange.org:
Eight more Glenn Beck advertisers, including Wal-Mart — the world’s largest retailer — have confirmed to ColorOfChange.org that they pulled their ads from the controversial Fox News Channel broadcaster’s eponymous show. Allergan (maker of Restasis), Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services), Best Buy, Broadview Security, CVS, Re-Bath, Travelocity and Wal-Mart join the dozen other companies who previously distanced themselves from Beck.
Twenty companies have pulled their ads from Beck’s show in just the last two weeks. The moves come after the Fox News host called President Obama a “racist” who “has a deep-seated hatred for white people” during an appearance on Fox & Friends. Previous companies who pulled their ads include ConAgra, GEICO, Lawyers.com, Men’s Wearhouse, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, RadioShack, Roche, SC Johnson, Sanofi-Aventis, Sargento, and State Farm Insurance.
“We are heartened to see so many corporate citizens step up in support of our campaign against Glenn Beck,” said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org. “Their action sends a clear a message to Glenn Beck: Broadcasters shouldn’t abuse the privilege they enjoy by spewing dangerous and racially charged hate language over the air. No matter their political affiliation, hate language doesn’t belong in our national dialogue.”
“Walmart [sic] today confirmed the retailer pulled ads from the Glenn Beck show on August 3rd,” said David Tovar, a spokesperson for Wal-Mart, in an email to ColorOfChange.org.
“While advertising on Fox is part of our communication plan, we had not requested time on Glenn Beck’s show specifically,” said Carolyn Castel, Vice President of Corporate Communications for CVS Caremark, in an email to ColorOfChange.org. “We have instructed our advertising agency to inform Fox to ensure Glenn Beck’s program is not part of our advertising plan.”
“Our position is simple,” Castel continued. “We support vigorous debate, especially around policy issues that affect millions of Americans, but we expect it to be informed, inclusive and respectful, in keeping with our company’s core values and commitment to diversity.”
In an email exchange with ColorOfChange.org, Lisa Svac Hawks, Director of Public Relations for Best Buy, stated that any advertisements for Best Buy that were placed on Glenn Beck’s show were done so in error. Svac Hawks pledged that Best Buy will correct any mistakes made.
“We did not specifically place our ad on the show,” said Amanda Borichevsky, a spokesperson for Travelocity in an email to ColorOfChange.org. “We buy ads in bulk and then they are placed somewhat randomly. However, we have now specifically asked that our ads do not appear during this show.”
“We reviewed our commercial schedule, and based on your feedback, we’ve put any programming featuring Glenn Beck on our “do not air” list,” said Aziz Mottiwala, Senior Marketing Manager for Allergan, in an email to ColorOfChange.org. “This means that you will no longer see any Restasis ads during programming featuring Glenn Beck. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.”
“Ally advertises on a broad spectrum of programs to reach our potential customers,” said a Customer Care Representative for Ally Bank. “Our advertising is not an endorsement of editorial content on any program. We have ceased to advertise on the Glenn Beck program.”
In a phone conversation with Dwayne Sigler, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Broadview Security Systems, Sigler told ColorOfChange.org that Broadview’s advertising is bought based on network, not particular programs, but that “given the considerations, we have requested of Fox News not to include us in the rotation that would have our commercials running on Glenn Beck’s show.”
“...We are no longer airing our commercials on the Glenn Beck Show...” said Mary Beth Mayer, spokesperson for Re-Bath, in a phone message to ColorOfChange.org.
