Attack on Obama Riles Beck’s Advertisers

NEW YORK – Glenn Beck returns to Fox News Channel on Monday after a vacation with fewer companies willing to advertise on his show than when he left, part of the fallout from calling President Barack Obama a racist.

A total of 33 Fox advertisers, including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., CVS Caremark, Clorox and Sprint, directed that their commercials not air on Beck’s show, according to the companies and ColorofChange.org, a group that promotes political action among blacks and launched a campaign to get advertisers to abandon him. That’s more than a dozen more than were identified a week ago.

While it’s unclear what effect, if any, this will ultimately have on Fox and Beck, it is already making advertisers skittish about hawking their wares within the most opinionated cable TV shows.

The Clorox Co., a former Beck advertiser, now says that "we do not want to be associated with inflammatory speech used by either liberal or conservative talk show hosts." The maker of bleach and household cleaners said in a statement that it has decided not to advertise on political talk shows.

The shows present a dilemma for advertisers, who usually like a "safe" environment for their messages. The Olbermanns, Hannitys, O’Reillys, Maddows and Becks of the TV world are more likely to say something that will anger a viewer, who might take it out on sponsors.

They also host the most-watched programs on their networks.

"This is a good illustration of that conundrum," said Rich Hallabran, spokesman for UPS Stores, which he said has temporarily halted buying ads on Fox News Channel as a whole.

Beck can bring the eyeballs. With the health care debate raising political temperatures, his show had its biggest week ever right before his vacation, averaging 2.4 million viewers each day, according to Nielsen Media Research.

He was actually on another Fox show July 28 when he referred to Obama as a racist with "a deep-seated hatred for white people." The network immediately distanced itself from Beck’s statement, but Beck didn’t. He used his radio show the next day to explain why he believed that. He would not comment for this article, spokesman Matthew Hiltzik said.

ColorofChange.org quickly targeted companies whose ads had appeared during Beck’s show, telling them what he had said and seeking a commitment to drop him. The goal is to make Beck a liability, said James Rucker, the organization’s executive director.

"They have a toxic asset," Rucker said. "They can either clean it up or get rid of it."

It’s not immediately clear how many of the companies actually knew they were advertising on Beck’s show. Sometimes commercial time is chosen for a specific show, but often it is bought on a rotation basis, meaning the network sprinkles the ads throughout the day on its own schedule. Sometimes ads appear by mistake; Best Buy said it bought commercial time for earlier in the day, and one of its ads unexpectedly appeared in Beck’s show.

One company, CVS Caremark, said it advertises on Fox but hadn’t said anything about Beck. Now it has told its advertising agency to inform Fox that it wanted no commercials on Beck.

"We support vigorous debate, especially around policy issues that affect millions of Americans, but we expect it to be informed, inclusive and respectful," said spokeswoman Carolyn Castel.

Besides the unpredictability of the opinionated cable hosts, the rapid pace of today’s wired world complicates decisions on where to place ads, said Kathleen Dunleavy, a spokeswoman for Sprint. She said she was surprised at how fast the Beck issue spread across social media outlets and how quickly advertiser names were attached to it.

UPS’ Hallabran said the decision to pull commercials "should not be interpreted as we are permanently withdrawing our advertising from Fox." He said the company wants to reach viewers with a wide spectrum of opinions.

Except for UPS Stores, there’s no evidence that any advertisers who say they don’t want to be on Beck’s show are leaving Fox. Network spokeswoman Irena Briganti said the companies have simply requested the ads be moved elsewhere and that Fox hasn’t lost any revenue.

She wouldn’t say whether Fox was benefiting from any anti-anti-Beck backlash, with companies looking to support him. Some Beck supporters have urged fans to express their displeasure at companies for abandoning their man.

Beck supporters have suggested that retaliation might have something to do with ColorofChange.org’s campaign. One of the group’s founders, Van Jones, now works in the Obama administration and has been criticized

Colorof change.org this boycott works two ways. I do not use Wal-Mart, I tried to work there but all they do is rah, rah, rah Sam Walton and kiss his ass ( too liberal); CVS, I use Rite Aid; Clorox is too dangerous; Sprint sponsers NASCAR and I have boycotted them since they let Toyota race, ( I hate Japanese, remember The Bataan Death March); UPS is a union thug outfit; Best Buy sells junk you have to return everything you buy.
Not only B. Obama but also Michelle Obama has "a deep seated hatred for white people." Remember they were trained by Rev. Wright.
I quote him "Not God Bless America, but God D*** America!"

One of the group’s founders, Van Jones, now works in the Obama administration and has been criticized by Beck. But Rucker said Jones has nothing to do with ColorofChange.org now and didn’t even know about the campaign before it started.

Beck’s strong ratings — even at 5 p.m. EDT he often outdraws whatever CNN and MSNBC show in prime-time — make it unlikely Beck is going anywhere even as the list of advertisers avoiding him approaches three dozen.

But it could mean adve
i should have known the libs would be all over this you have nothing to do but stay home , not work and make sure no one spites obama you people are idiots same as kanye the only racists are the people that voted for obama knowing nothing about him except what the news media (who said nothing about his racist priest that he had been going to for 20 years) and as soon as the first black / white situation came up ie gates he backed the black guy without knowing the situation that shows alot

The Demos have like bounty hunters-media hounds that listen intently to every broadcast, read every article probably have intel embedded in the military to listen to every comment-phone call of any one that is a public figure that speaks a word that can be considered a put down – racist, etc. The really sad part is that the media seems to have come under control of politics and now not only do the hounds distort and spread-threaten businesses, the media plays it to the point that you would think that it is a bomb threat.

My Mother always told me, "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you." You would think that a public figure, such as our President, has let a lot less slide off his back, so why would business think that they are being slandered. Only little minds would allow someone’s opinion (of which everyone has) to stop people from using or buying their product.

If they think our President can’t stand the heat, they shouldn’t have put him in the kitchen.

Why do you think Republicans are "stunned and dismayed" by the Evangelist and Catholic support for Obama?

August 21, 2009 - 10:11 pm 28 Comments

The Obama campaign has been strongly reaching out to the moderate Evangelical and Catholic communities with success..

1) Obama campaign launched the "Joshua Generation." Its a grass root effort, organized by moderate Christians. They are planning to hold concerts and house meetings targeted at young evangelicals and Catholics. So far they have rasied significant amount of money for the campaign and reached out to millions of young Christians around the nation

2) A new action committe known as "Matthew 25 Network" has been established, and within weeks they have been very succesful in getting support from young Evangelist and Catholics. This group is not officially tied to the Obama campaign, but they are doing direct radio advertising and mailers to Christian communities while talking up Obama in the media
3) One of the leading evangelist think-tank, Stephen Mansfield, who wrote the best seller book "The Faith of George Bush" will release a pro-Obama book in August.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2008-06-18-obama-evangelicals_N.htm?csp=34
Are you surprised by Obama’s success in the Christian community? Even a 5% swing vote from this block could secure him a victory over McCain. Why do you think it is? Do you think the moderate Christians feel betrayed by George W. Bush and want to vote for change?

Is this a question or a rant?

I don’t understand whats going on!?

August 19, 2009 - 8:29 pm 1 Comment

Ok I’m reading about Maki Goto on Wikipedia and I don’t understand this big chunk!

SWEET BLACK Project

The SWEET BLACK Project is a cross-media collaboration between J-WAVE, Avex and Mixi. Goto herself chose the logo and the name, which is meant to reflect the “positive and negative” side of the life of today’s women.

On January 5, 2009, J-WAVE premiered “SWEET BLACK Girls”, a 15 minutes segment hosted by Goto Maki and Ryu as part of the popular radio show “PLATOn”. The show airs Mon-Fri and focuses on the life of women on their twenties. Reception was extremely good, as 30,000 messages were received during the first week only[1].

To complete the project, Mixi, the most used networking community in Japan, opened a special space for Sweet Black[2], and Avex launched a web-documentary on YouTube based on Goto’s daily routine as a singer[3]. Immediate success was acquainted, admittedly beyond expectations [4].

On January 21, Goto released her first digital single with Avex: Fly away. The lyrics, penned by Maki herself, are based on Mambo, a story written by young author Hitomi Kanehara, who won the Akutagawa Prize for her 2003 novel "Hebi ni Piasu" ("Snakes and Earrings").

Barely a month later, on February 25, Goto released her second digital single, titled Lady-Rise, also penned by herself. This time, Goto collaborated with Sakurazawa Erika, a Japanese manga author whose works are mostly published in josei magazines (comics targeted to a young women audience).

On March 7, Goto modeled at Japan’s biggest fashion event, Tokyo Girls Collection

Can someone explain?

I am uncertain what you are confused about
