Media Matters has a list -- really a quote from the LA Times -- showing that Glenn Beck had only a few sponsors left last week. Want to write a letter, make a phone call, take a hard look at the business practices of these advertisers? Knocking the rest of Beck's support out from under him could make a big difference in the civility of political debate.
On Wednesday, the only big companies with a presence during his show
were Bank of America and the Wall Street Journal, whose parent company
News Corp. also owns Fox News. The rest of the commercials included
spots for gold seller Rosland Capital; Ashley Furniture Home Store;
Empire Carpet; Liberty Medical, a diabetes medical supplier; Johnson
Law Group, an asbestos litigation firm; “Shadow Government,” a new book
critical of Obama published by the National Republican Trust; and the
anti-tax group TeaPartyExpress.org.
