GEICO the 5th Sponsor Pulls Its Ads from Glenn Beck Show

[3peet]

Along with Proctor & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, Lawyers.com and SC Johnson, GEICO pulls ads from FOX's Glenn Beck's show.

"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."

This is good news

Can't verify it yet, but I think at least a couple of the companies which have pulled ad spots off of Beck's broadcasts are redirecting those dollars to buy time on Dave Letterman's program

Can't verify it yet, but I think at least a couple of the companies which have pulled ad spots off of the Mathews, Obie & Maddow broadcasts are redirecting those dollars to buy time on Hannetty & O'Reily's programs.

Only problem is they can only buy 3 spots instead of 102 with their money. But upon further review, those three spots will still reach more people and even more people that can afford to buy something, so it's still a possibility.

Can't verify it yet,

the four most spoken words in barman's vocabulary or, for that matter, any moonbat that thinks they have a political angle

 

[barman]

Those four words are enough to keep the chat going in between the far more serious business of handicapping and investing on sports events.

those four words give you carte blanche

 

[barman]

Yeah!

I love those two words too - "carte blanche"

 

[barman]

those four words give you carte blanche

Those four words got GW Bush's military machine into Iraq in Mar 2003.....heh

If you had to put a "competitor" against him in that time slot, who do you think would have the viewership to outshine him?

Stop putting TVI on the spot. It’s tough enough for him to master the phrase “Do you want fries with that burger“? let alone come up with a competitor for Beck.

LOL! what i really love is his posting style. gtc comes in here, throws out all kinds of rediculous statements and never has the stones to
A) come up with evidence to support his claims
B) realize when he is wrong
and C) (my favorite): gtc doesnt respond to you if you disagree with him, or ever for that matter. he just pretends like you, the thread and your post dont exist
"brilliant" strategy if you will

So why is Obama President? Because more people don't believe the republicans lies. I live in Las Vegas and on the radio all i can get is republican radio. No left radio at all. But i do have internet radio and Sirius satellite radio. The right wing have all the air time.
