After Beck Flap, Advertisers Leery of Politics

Boycott may go beyond Fox host to other 'inflammatory' shows

By Kevin Spak| Posted Aug 24, 09 8:00 AM CDT|

(Newser) – Glenn Beck’s antics could just kill the entire political talk show genre, Advertising Age reports. Beck will return to the air tonight 33 advertisers lighter, after calling President Obama a “racist." But the fallout could spread to other talk shows, too—Clorox has already announced it’s pulling its ads from all political gabfests, because of their “sometimes inflammatory nature.”

That approach could become popular if advertisers want to pull out without angering either side of the political spectrum. Fox News says that so far advertisers have moved their ads to other programs, so revenue hasn’t been affected, while MSNBC and CNN say they haven’t gotten any cancellations. Beck’s ratings are likely strong enough that he’s not going anywhere.

All of you are missing the point. The networks aren't in business to make news, they're in it to make money. If companies won't sponsor any sort of controversial or provocative programming because they're worried it will make them look bad, then the networks just won't put ANYTHING on the air that might piss anybody off. All of the news networks will be airing nothing but fluff pieces about celebrity fitness secrets, and the Podunk Ohio Womens Council baking the world tallest stack of pancakes. WAKE UP.

Nwambe reminds me of several years ago when Dan Quayle was crucified for misspelling "potato". It is spelled "COLOR". There are occasions when it is spelled "colour" but this isn't one of them. I do not judge people by color but by how they treat people and how hard they work. I honestly don't know when you have all of this time to watch TV. I work for a living and went back to school to better myself. Maybe a lot of you should do the same. But maybe that is why they say of the millions of people who had to call in to work to attend the inauguration, only 10 of you had to call into work!

The really interesting thing I notice from people I work with, as well as, attend college with is that most of you "dogging" Beck for speaking out (with a lot of people who agree with him) are the same people wasting time watching "reality" TV shows believing what they see. Now that is something to be concerned about! There is no intelligence needed or thought process involved. You people need to worry more about what negative changes are being made in the REAL world and not who is going to be kicked off of the show next week! Think about it. Why would you tape a reality show? That leaves opportunity for editing and changes to be made. Maybe a little more time away from TV and more time in the actual REAL world might open up some eyes.

He made his choice and he once again must bear the results just as he did when he selected to abuse drugs once again he begins to pay the price

FOX has already stated that they have lost no money on this-the advertisers have just been moved to other shows. I really dislike Beck, but I dislike the Mad Ave wing of the corporats even more. They are not showing any conviction by simply moving their ads to a different time slot. Besides, in the long haul, I'm hoping that those who watch Beck will come to their senses simply by watching Beck-and realizing just how divorced from reality his world view is. In the meantime, Beck is great for Progressive politics as all but the near lunatic fringe can see right through him and it can't help but drive them more to the left in an effort to keep the US out of the hands of folks like him.

If we really want media change, we need to reverse the consolidation of media allowed under Clinton, and accelerated by Colin Powell's son under Bush. Why else do you think the major networks never approached the level of criticism with Bush, even when his lies were totally exposed, than they already have with Obama? Cause they didn't want that consolidation spigot cut off. Reply

The danger of mainstream advertising pulling out of Fox News is it will allow the network to further radicalize itself. Not that I disagree with the advertisers decisions to stop supporting Beck's show, but now the door is open for companies and organizations that only target their ads at radical right wingers. While the ratings don't mean A THING in terms of who is politically more powerful or more correct, they do show that Fox has quite a tight knit tribe assembled that can make an influence in the political process. The "average middle Americans" certainly threw a monkey wrench in the health care debates. The trouble with this tribe is you have to show off your conservative credentials publicly to get in. Wear guns places that guns have no place being. Get irate at your elected representatives and fellow citizens while regurgitating "talking points" heard on this very cable channel or on the radical fringes of the internet. You'll suddenly be a media darling and everyone will know your name and see your picture and know you are in the tribe. Reply

And one of the few blessings of media consolidation is that none of the networks that run the right wing radio stations will advertise on a competing station either. They are already spending enough subsidizing their own talk radio hosts.

Headlines will read:GLENN BECK EUTHANIZED BY FICTITIOUS DEATH PANEL... the story may start like this .........Under the New Health Care Reform Plan passed by the Senate, Glenn Beck will be put to sleep according to the new provision in the Health Care Reform Bill,the "Soylent Green Bill". Where as under this bill (SGB) Glenn Beck will be strapped to a gurney while watching his own vile film shorts of his cable news shows.The Friends of Dr. Kevorkian,(a group approved overwhelmingly by the GOP backed by Sen John McCain) will administer the painless drug that will put Glenn Beck in Never Never Land.It has not yet confirmed but it has been rumored that his remains (by his request) be used as Tropical fish Food.

I read this joke and it was so fitting I thought I would pass it on. A woman in a hot-air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude. "She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican." "I am," replied the man. "How did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me." The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama Democrat." "I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?" "Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going.. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault." Reply

While I really thought your joke about the hot air balloon was "right on", Chu000, here is one I heard the other day and just couldn't keep from sharing it! While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President. The old rancher said, "Well, ya know, Obama is a "post turtle." Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a "post turtle" was. The old rancher said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a "post turtle". The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there." Reply
