Dropped Sponsors
Total number of companies that refuse to have ads run on Glenn Beck: 136!
Your efforts are working: After advertisers flee, Glenn Beck’s show in the U.K. ran without ads for 4 months, then returned briefly, and are back off again. That means, Glenn Beck’s show has run in the U.K. for nearly 6 months without any commercials.
Also, it has been reported that the Glenn Beck show is losing more than 50% of its weekly ad revenue as a result of this boycott.
Notably: The Washington Post reports that the number of companies that refuse to run ads on Glenn Beck’s show exceeds 200. You can find an explanation of the discrepancy between the list below and the Washington Post’s numbers here.

—————
Although these organizations are not affiliated with the StopBeck effort, I want to recognize their contributions in holding Glenn Beck accountable for his irresponsible vitriol, propagation of sexism and preying on racial anxiety. So, thank you: Color of Change, SEIU and Media Matters.
And, of course, big thanks to all this participating in the StopBeck Effort. Your tweets and emails do matter.
Onward we go..

It's not that we're afraid of Beck, it's just that so many of you hateful bigots believe all the lies he tells you…..without questioning anything.
Is that bit about Thomas' English Muffins suppose to be a joke……if not, you should look it up on google.

Why all the Anti Beck? he is only trying to take back our country from the Socialist-Communist policies of Larry, Moe & Curly AKA Barack, Nancy & Harry and throw in Biden as the court Jester. You people that voted for him and still support him must love having your rights taken away, the constitution trampled on and huge government spending and deficits that our children and grandchildren will be paying off, and illegal aliens. I am genuinely concerned that the American public will even have the right to vote this Master of Disaster' out. My biggest fear is that he will be president for life.

IT WORKS BOTH WAYS CONSUMERS CAN BOYCOTT THIS GROUP OF ADVERTISERS. I KNOW I CAN DO WITHOUT A COKE KFC ALLSTATE GEICO LOWES AND ALL THE OTHER PRODUCTS THAT IN MY OPINION IS NOT SUPPORTING ONE OF OUR FEW PEOPLE THAT LET US KNOW WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY. ABC NBC CBS SURE WILL NOT REPORT ANY THING BUT THEIR LIBERAL VIEWS.

Better take another look at that list. I have been seeing a few of them advertise on Beck's show. Especially the late night re-run.
Many of them found out that they lost more business by being on your list and decided to get off of your list.
But I love people saying “Beck lies”. Ok be specific. What is he lying about?

Ok wow, posters who actually believe the crap coming out of Beck's mouth are just as unintelligent as he is. He lies, makes stuff up and is about as un-American as a person can get. He recently tried take credit for the civil rights movement which was started by Martin Luther King Jr. A man who lead the Montgomery Bus boycott, founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and won the Nobel Peace Prize. What has Glen Beck done that is American, well, he got arrested a lot I suppose. Once for theft, another time for drunk driving. Beck actually believes that Obama used the http://www.cars.gov site, which was created for registration to the cash for clunkers program, was used to collect personal information so the Obama administration could illegally listen in on phone conversations. Interestingly it was his, and yours (if you are Beck supporter) hero, George W. Bush, who actually instituted wire tapping without a warrant and other “sacrifices of freedom” under the guise of improving homeland security. Wake up people, Bush and republicans came closer than ever in history during the 8 years of the bush administration to creating the first american dictatorship. And in the end, if Beck doesn't shut his trap, he's going to have enough mindless morons following him that it's going to start a civil war. Think for yourselves people. Beck is a moron who has nothing but his ratings and the money in his pockets in mind.

Glen Beck is an uneducated bafoon, who is still going through recovery for drug and alcohol addiction. when Keith Olbermann was getting straight A’s at Cornell U., Beck was getting drunk and stoned!
