[Update #1, 2/17/10]: Celsius becomes 103rd company to remove advertisements from Glenn Beck’s show because of your efforts.
[Update #2, 2/17/10]: Color of Change announced additional companies that dropped Glenn Beck, bringing total number of lost sponsors to 116.
[Update #3, 2/22/10]: Weight Watchers, George Foreman Cooking and Sylvan Learning dropped Glenn Beck. This brings the total lost sponsors to 119.

His sponsor lost seems to be having a real effect as his show in the U.K. was without sponsors the past 10 days. This must be striking a nerve as the right-wing attack machine is already churning out nonsense.
Now, this effort continues…and here are some ways that you can help out.
#1) Spread The Word
- Tell your friends about our StopBeck effort, post a link to StopBeck.com on your Facebook page, etc…
- If you have a blog, add StopBeck.com to your blogroll. Or, if you feel like getting fancy, add a StopBeck badge to your site (see sidebar).
- If you see a blog post that fails to mention Glenn Beck’s lost sponsors even though it is relevant to the topic of the post: leave a comment about his lost sponsors and point them to http://stopbeck.com [Note: This is crucial to spreading the word about our effort. But, I am not asking you to spam the blogosphere. Please make sure the comment is relevant. Spreading the word about his lost sponsors helps improve the comment thread on that site - and it also helps our effort.]
#2) Consider Offering A Small Donation
- I’ve been at this since July 2, 2009. As time marches on, even small expenses begin adding up. Your donation will be used to help defray some of the costs of this effort so far and prepare for the expansion going forward. Of course, it would be greatly appreciated. You can donate securely by clicking this link or the “chip in” widget in the sidebar.
#3) Help Pressure Remaining Sponsors
- On Twitter: watch out for tweets to Glenn Beck’s sponsors. You can help by re-tweeting them or sending those sponsors tweets of your own.
- Sometimes remaining sponsors need a bit more of a nudge than tweets provide. So, keep an eye on this site or Twitter for announcements.
Many thanks to those that have participated in this effort to hold Glenn Beck accountable for his misinformation, vitriol, sexism and race-baiting. Onward we go.

OK, maybe I’m missing something here. As a former advertising agency employee, I think this might be all for nothing. Sort of.
It is a great thing to get the ads off of Beck’s time slot. But I think the strategy is to get the advertisers to stop buying ad time on Fox. Advertisers buy time in chunks. Fox is still getting ad revenue they are just not playing them during becks timeslot. So they ad one extra spot per break the other 22 hours a day. So Hannity plays two of Becks ads and Fox runs weather during Beck. FOX still has the money. And they have the ratings from the lunatic fringe. My point, the pressure needs to go on FOX and Murdoch. He needs to lose the ad buys or this is just hocus pocus.
There is no reason for Murdoch to pull Beck, he is not “Losing” money. He is only moving it from block to another. Until advertisers pull away from FOX and Murdoch then he won’t do anything.
If you think I’m wrong, then tell me the last time a talk show host lost 116 advertisers and stayed on the air? Tell me the last time a network had to run weather instead of commercials…and kept the talkshow host on…
The pressure needs to be kept up, but the focus needs to be pull all ad buys from Murdoch companies. Only then will there be a chance to get Beck off the air.

beck slams Van Jones as a trufer, then attacks the non-RINO lady in TX as a trufer.
OK, what about the fact that more than an half dozen of the highjackers are alive, one of them an airline pilot?
Must have been a rough ride through the towers. WE WANT A NEW INVESTIGATION!
beck is a protector of enemies of our country.

It’s so nice to see how committed the lunatic left fringe in this country is to a free exchange of ideas. You obviously can’t debate the issues.. so you just attack the messenger. You people disgust me.

Jim Miller above has a good point. You should join forces (and hopefully funds) with TurnOFFFox.com

You are foolish if you think you can stop Glenn, the truth, or the tea party or the 912 groups. We surround you and we do not need any of your “sponsors”.They need us. Remember we are a very large part of the population and probably the only ones with disposable income. I would not be cutting off my nose in these times if Iwere one of the companies.
I know personally from me alone, it just cost names on this list about 5000.00 per year. and I have been doing business with them a long time. Remember, I am only one there are thousands more like me.
Remember, we surround you.

PA Fisher,
The truth is your group is not as big as you think. With the coverage you get from Fox and support from the deep pockets of some of the right-wing nuts the notion that you hold all this power is WRONG!

Beck has created more hate in this country than anyone in my lifetime,I cant imagine anyone with a brain watching him, he is a loose cannon. All you get from the right is hate hate, as Bernie Goldberg said, “if Obama found the cure for cancer these people would still hate him” does that sound like anyone that has a brain?

I love these people talk about the “free exchange of ideas, they feel if you dont agree with them you are wrong. I was a Republican all my 70 years till they have been taken over by the likes of Glen Beck and Sarah Palin and all of Fox News.
