New York Daily News ^ | 9/3/09 | Corky Siemaszko

Mercedes-Benz, Capital One, HSBC, Discover and seven other big firms are yanking their ads from Beck's show, boycott organizers said Wednesday.

“We applaud those companies that have recently pulled their support from Beck,” James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org (Van Jones organization), said Wednesday.

About 145,000 members signed a petition asking Beck's advertisers to stop supporting him. And big companies like retailing giant Wal-Mart, Procter & Gamble, GMAC Financial Services, Best Buy, CVS and Travelocity complied.
