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.
So, Glenn Beck’s remaining advertisers would be wise to keep his words in mind:
“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 >

Glenn Beck accuses Michelle Obama of Voodoo Magic

Yesterday, Michelle Obama was on the Tom Joyner show. She thanked folks for their prayers, saying:
And let me just tell your listeners that it means all the world to us to know that there are prayer circles out there and people who are keeping the spirits clean around us.

Ice: Fox News Not Following Glenn Beck On Twitter
Oct 5th
Last week, a New York Times Magazine profile highlighted increasing tension between Fox News and Glenn Beck. The report also discussed Glenn Beck’s continued (and overwhelming) advertiser losses.
Well, this morning, I noticed that Fox News is not following Glenn Beck on Twitter. Fox News follows 42 people, which includes their significant personalities, their shows and some of their lesser known personalities – except for Glenn Beck.*
Ouch. Another byproduct of the increasing friction between Fox and Glenn Beck? Or, maybe, they’re just not interested in the same kind of “white power” tweets that Glenn Beck is?
This just after Glenn Beck was snubbed in Fox News’ latest More >
