Omaha Steaks Drops Glenn Beck
Omaha Steaks’ ads recently started running on Glenn Beck’s program on Fox News.
As with other advertisers, participants in the StopBeck effort reached out to Omaha Steaks. We kindly requested that they follow the responsible action of hundreds of other former advertisers and refrain from advertising on Glenn Beck’s show.
Well, your efforts paid off.
This morning, Omaha Steaks announced that they were removing their ads from Glenn Beck’s program (emphasis added):
Omaha Steaks buys large units of national television advertising during the holiday season. This year, we bought a package of advertising through the Fox Network. We did not specifically request to be included on the Glenn Beck program. As part of our contract, the Omaha Steaks ads run in a variety of time slots throughout the day.
We took your comments regarding the Glenn Beck Program to heart. After further review and careful consideration, we have decided to pull all advertising from Glenn Beck programming effective December 20th, 2010. Unfortunately, due to advertising cancellation policies, we were bound to continue possible ad placements through Sunday, December 19th.
At Omaha, we greatly value the loyalty and support of our customers, fans and followers and thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
Great work all! See, your tweets and messages really do matter.
Here we see another advertiser stepping up and taking the responsible action. Don’t dismiss these actions, they are important steps as we continue to gear up for our broader DropFox accountability effort.
Onward we go…
Clicking on an email link is not the best way to send a message to Ohama Steaks. Much better to go to Google - click on their PAID link to get to their web page and use their contact us form to give them your suggestions.
Probably so.

Done !!!!!
Any examples of this? Of course not...
Omaha wants to side with radicals like Van Jones; go for it. Don't be shocked when conservative Americans decide to shop elsewhere...
EVERY dollar you spend is a vote. You just revealed how you vote.
FReepers = reactionaries?
Take a hike.
Following the Soros money always exposes the leftist lemmings... I hold my breath wondering if the ambiguously metro-homo-asexual Anderson Cooper will be "keepin 'em honest" on this one any time soon?
-small excerpt:
WASHINGTON -- The battle between progressives and Fox News just got hotter. Liberal watchdog Media Matters has hired one of Glenn Beck's key nemeses, a man who has been working behind the scenes (and more publicly on Twitter) for the past year to convince advertisers to drop the right-wing icon.
What the hell is your major malfunction? Two different posters specifically asked me questions about a post I made regarding the stopbeck website list of companies. Both of their questions would require someone to have certain knowledge of something that’s occurred during Beck’s show. Which I don’t listen to, so I answered them with that information. I could assume that you might be trying to infer by that that I’m a Beck-hating hater since I don’t listen to his show. You would be wrong. BTW, you are INCREDIBLY RUDE O-HOLE!!!!
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
I almost forgot...it seems you weren't paying any more attention to election day results than the current crop of jackasses in Washington...
Dear Friend,
We felt that advertising on the Glenn Beck Program could be
mis-interpreted as an endorsement of Mr. Beck’s political views. Since
Omaha Steaks has no affiliation with Mr. Beck, nor do we ever endorse any
political affiliations, views or beliefs, we felt it was in our best
interest to discontinue these ads.
Sincerely,
Julie Davis

Excellent screed. LMAO. By the way the article claimed hundreds of sponsors implying more than 200, when you go the website it says 116. So who are the liars? fabricators? willful distortors?
Bump for tomorrow.
Thus says the “group mob” leader? I have to conduct business your way in order to be acceptable to the “group”? You sound like a liberal.
Oh my! isn’t Media Matters tax exempt and suppose to be non-partisan?
I have been a steady customer...now I'm not. That's one.

Support or don't support whomever you want. But it does matter.
This guy need a hard trollin’ who just posted on the OS
FB page:
“David Bouchard: Dear Omaha Steaks, thanks for pulling your ads from the Glenn Beck program. This effort was not unnoticed by your customers and fans of the StopBeck effort. We all would like to offer our heartfelt thanks for your actions. Much appreciated.”

Great kneejerk reaction there, Omaha...did it ever occur to you to actually VERIFY the bullshit being spewed by the Stop Beck bunch? Stop Beck from what? Telling the truth? He convicts people with THEIR OWN WORDS. So where are the lies?
Screwed that pooch, Omaha...
Apparently not...
>>>> I only refuse to buy from companies who fail to deliver good product and service. A decision I make on my own. Personally, I am a bit put off by knee jerk reactionaries, group mob stuff.
Look at it from another perspective... You’ll do business with a company that lets their ad placement decisions be made for them by a bunch of leftists and other assorted nutjobs?? And what about the knee-jerk from Omahole Steaks in bowing to the will of loonyville?
