Zoosk “Blocked All Further Ads” From Appearing on Glenn Beck’s Show
A few weeks ago, Zoosk advertisements began running on Glenn Beck’s show. Zoosk is an online dating and social networking website.
As with other advertisers, the StopBeck effort reached out to Zoosk. We kindly requested that they follow the responsible action of well over 100 other former advertisers and refrain from advertising on Glenn Beck’s show.
This morning we received confirmation that Zoosk has excluded their ads from running on Glenn Beck’s program.
Zoosk’s Director of Offline Marketing sent the following statement to the StopBeck effort:
We actually purchased blocks of ad times and did not choose to advertise on Mr. Beck’s show. When we found out that we were shown on his show we blocked all further ads from appearing on his show going forward.
Great work all!
Many thanks for your continued participation in this media accountability effort.
Onward we go…

Cue the Beckites crying about how you're taking away advertisers, when in fact many of them were more than happy to drop Beck like a bad habit. Kudos to StopBeck and what they do. (Also, cue the Beck apologists who will try to claim that he stands for truth, justice, and the American way.)

Glenn Beck is one of the best things to happen to America in a long time. I can't imagine what kind of person would want to get rid of a good person? What's wrong with you?

I think that many people reading here don't like people who whip up hatred and hysteria…i.e., don't like Glenn Beck.

You should research the reasons why some Americans are critical of Glenn's viewpoints. It's always good to hear multiple perspectives instead of only the people with whom you agree.

He is a dry drunken greedy hate mongler who needs be put in a padded room with a straight jacket on. Fox is mad because their party, the Republican party is in the minority. So, they needed a nut that could pull in ratings and push the Murdoch/Ailes political agenda (yes, there is and has been a Murdoch/Ailes political agenda for years, Google Robert Greenwald Outfoxed to see what I mean), and Glenn was their man. He is a racist, uses MORE Nazi props than the History Channel (source: Lewis Black-Back in Black-Black on Beck/Beck has Nazi Tourettes-The Daliy Show with Jon Stewart-Comedy Central), is sexist (Glenn Beck on a Palin-Beck 2012 Presidential ticket-”What, am I gonna take a backseat to a chick?”), and his wife is probably only sticking with him for his $$$. There are special places in Hell for people like Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, and Michelle Malkin. I don't mean Hell, Michigan, either.

Most people realy don’t care about political corectnes. I like Glenn Beck but I also like Zoosk. Don’t try to close my mind just because I like his opinions. Study a little history. What is capitalism. It is to make money and express your ideas. If you don’t like it get a life. After all, we are all here to survive. You want to go Commie? Go Commie! First, read and learn I lived under that system. My parents lived under FREE Europe before the German Socialist Party came into power. The difference between the two political beliefs, NONE. Final result, extermination who ever disagreed with you. That fellow he always talks about? SOROS? He is Hungarian. Maybe hes name is actualy is OROS. Thet means ih Hungarian, Russian. Maybe he is an inplant from Russia? Stalin use to do that in Eastern Earope. Maybe you should comunicate With Glenn Beck and ask him why was your name brought up on his show? Before you say he is full of himself ( Glen beck ). If you would be on CNN you would be realy full of your self. This nation is made of people with GREAT IDEAS and opinions. That is why we, Includind my self, come to this country. Do you ever notice if anyone is trying to escape from America. They do from every where else. Only in America. Sing it and be proud of America and yourself.
