“On Tuesday, August 4, GEICO instructed its ad buying service to redistribute its inventory of rotational spots on FOX-TV to their other network programs, exclusive of the Glenn Beck program,” said a spokesperson for GEICO Corporate Communications in an email to ColorOfChange.org. “As of August 4, GEICO no longer runs any paid advertising spots during Mr. Beck’s program.”
“We applaud GEICO and all of the other companies who have stepped forward to pull their ads from Glenn Beck,” said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange.org. “Beck’s rhetoric is dangerous to the fabric of our democracy, and we are heartened that so many big companies feel the same way. We won’t stop here — we’re going to continue our fight to see that as many of Beck’s advertisers pull their support as possible.”
Murdoch has been making a lot of news lately talking about losing money and how the media has to change. Will he continue to employ a fanatic that is now costing him money? Also I am sure the right will start screaming about this and associating it to some for of communism, when in fact it is the very definition of democracy and capitalism. Just wanted to throw that out there before the idiots start trying to say its not.
