Yesterday I noticed long periods before any breaks/commercials on Glenn Beck. It crossed my mind what Bill O'Reilley said to him when he first came to FOX. He joked with Glenn about the long segments, and how short his (Bill) were because of the advertisers. I wondered yesterday if something had happened. Then I read William's post about colorofchange(dot)org and it made sense.

The founder of colorofchange(dot)org was formally with move.on(dot)org. George Soros is frequently mentioned with moveon(dot)org. Hillary Clinton has ties with them also.

Here is a press release from colorofchange(dot)org in regard to Glenn Beck.

For Immediate Release

August 6, 2009

Contact: Brandon Hatler -- Sunshine, Sachs & Associates (201) 638-5263

Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance Pledge Not to Advertise on Glenn Beck on Fox News;

LexisNexis-owned Lawyers.com Pulls Ads from Glenn Beck

Changes Comes as Tens of Thousands of ColorOfChange(dot)org Members Urge Beck Advertisers to Pull Their Support After Anchor Calls Obama 'Racist' on FNC

OAKLAND, Calif.--Three companies who run ads during Glenn Beck -- NexisLexis-owned Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble and Progressive Insurance -- today distanced themselves from Beck. LexisNexis has pulled its advertising from Beck and says it has no plans to advertise on the program in the future. Both Procter & Gamble and Progressive Insurance called the Beck advertising placements an error that they would correct.

The decision by the three companies comes as over 45,000 ColorOfChange.org members call on advertisers to pull their ads from Glenn Beck after the controversial news host called President Obama a "racist" who "has a deep-seated hatred for white people" on "Fox & Friends" last week.

"Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention," said John Michaels, Senior Communications Manager at LexisNexis in an email to ColorOfChange(dot)org. "We have suspended further advertising during Mr. Beck's program."

"We have no plans to continue advertising on Mr. Beck's show," Michaels continued in another email.

When executives at Procter & Gamble were contacted by ColorOfChange(dot)org, they said that any ads run during Glenn Beck were run by mistake, and that they would correct the problem going forward.

"No P&G ads should have appeared on this program in the first place," said Martha Depenbrock, Brand Building Stakeholder Relations for Procter & Gamble in an email. "To be clear, if any of our advertising appeared on the Glenn Beck show, it was in error and we appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. We will do what we can to see that it doesn't happen again."

Progressive Insurance said any ads running during Glenn Beck were a mistake by Fox News Channel -- a mistake they have asked the network to fix immediately.

"Our (advertising) order specifies no Glenn Beck," said Linda J. Harris, Media Director at Progressive Insurance in an email to ColorOfChange(dot)org. "We have confirmed with the network that our spots should not be running there," Harris said in a later email.

Last week, ColorOfChange(dot)org called on its 600,000-plus members to sign a petition urging companies who advertise on Glenn Beck's radio and television shows to cut off their advertising on Beck's programs. The mobilization came after Beck called President Obama a "racist" who "has a deep-seated hatred for white people" during an appearance last Tuesday on "Fox and Friends." More than 45,000 members responded to the call by signing a petition directed at advertisers, including LexisNexis-owned Lawyers.com as well as Procter & Gamble.

"What Beck is doing is race-baiting at its worst, it's dangerous and it's hard to imagine any company wanting their brand associated with it," said James Rucker, executive director of ColorOfChange(dot)org. "Beck has now shown that his extreme views are more appropriate for a street corner than a major media program. He no longer deserves the backing of mainstream advertisers."

The ColorOfChange(dot)org email urged members to go visit colorofchange(dot)org/beck/, where they could send letters to executives of target companies. Some of the advertisers who are targeted as part of the campaign include GEICO, NutriSystem and United Parcel Service.

With more than 600,000 members, ColorOfChange(dot)org is the largest African-American online political organization in the country.

Stop the race baiting

Call on advertisers to drop
sponsorship of Glenn Beck

FOX's Glenn Beck:

"This president has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep-seated hatred for white people ... this guy is, I believe, a racist."
Beck is on a campaign to convince the American public that President Obama's agenda is about serving the needs of Black communities at White people's expense. It's repulsive, divisive and shouldn't be on the air.

Join us in calling on Beck's advertisers to stop sponsoring his show.

Read the e-mail message that we originally sent to our members about this petition.

Here is the text of the message we'll deliver to advertisers on your behalf. You can also add a personal comment in the box provided to the left.


To President/CEO & Board:

I want to alert you to the fact that Glenn Beck--whose show you sponsor on FOX--is using his platform to make outlandish accusations about the President and to advance baseless theories that prey on race-based fears.

He is claiming that President Obama is a "racist," that he has a "deep-seated hatred for white people," and that he is attempting to use our government to deliver "Obama-brand reparations." The claims are ludicrous, and the rhetoric is racially divisive and pollutes our public discourse.

I presume your company does not want to enable such rhetoric, nor have your products or services associated with the kind of views and tactics espoused by Beck. I urge you to immediately cease all advertising on the Glenn Beck Program on the FOX News Channel.

Sincerely,

[Your name]

"Here are some videos of one of the founders, James Rucker, of colorofchange and he states that there are 400,000 members. In one of the clips he is referred to as a "COMMUNITY ORGANIZER."

This censorship nonsense really makes me mad, its called a FREE PRESS, if you don't like it turn it off.

They have lost some sponsors over this stuff. The anoti-birthers are the most amazing. It needs to be fought: Show JOHN MCCAINS BC, and ask where is NOBAMALAMAS??

Why should Nobammy get off with not showing us a BC?
