Is Fox News Having Trouble Filling Glenn Beck’s Ad Slots?
Oct 28th
For a moment, put aside the large number of NewsCorp ads that run on Glenn Beck’s sponsor dry show. Also, put aside the fact that Fox News has run free ads during Glenn Beck’s time slot just to fill ad ad space.
Lately, Fox News has been running ads on Glenn Beck’s show that shouldn’t be there.
We’re always active. If an ad appears from a company that committed to ceasing advertisements on Glenn Beck’s show, we reach out to them right away. Recently, ads from three advertisers that made this commitment reappeared on Glenn Beck’s program: MetLife, Travelzoo/Fly.com and Northland Juices. So, we More >

Well, whatdya know, guess who just made a massive ad purchase on Glenn Beck’s non-Fox News businesses? The Chamber of Commerce!

Glenn Beck’s Message To Remaining Advertisers
Oct 20th
Glenn Beck lost yet another advertiser today. Bringing the total to 299 advertisers that already disassociated themselves from Glenn Beck’s reckless vitriol and willful deceit. So, if I was Glenn Beck, I wouldn’t be making it harder for my few remaining advertisers to stick with me.

“They’re [Obama administration] gonna need a cookie. Because, right now, blood’s gonna start shooting out of their eyes. Look what the [Obama] administration has done just to my sponsors. See my list of who supports me? The commercials. So, they have my list. We More >
