Nineteen more advertisers dump Glenn Beck.

Guinness Poster Yesterday, ThinkProgress noted that British supermarket Waitrose had dropped all its advertising from Fox News in the UK after customer complaints about Glenn Beck. Today, Color of Change is announcing that 19 more advertisers — including Waitrose — have dumped Beck. That number includes multinational drinks company Diageo (the maker of Guinness and Johnnie Walker, among others), which has also pulled its advertising from all of Fox News in the UK. Here are some of the responses Color of Change received from Beck’s advertisers:

“We are appalled at what’s going on. Metropolitan Talent Management is 100% dedicated to not buy advertising on any part of Fox News.” — Metropolitan Talent Management

– “We’re no longer going to book any of his air time. I’m really glad to be informed of what you guys are doing.” — Overture Films

– “The Seoul government has no plan to extend, resume, or add its commercial on the program. In other word {sic}, there will not be Seoul commercial in the Glenn Beck program any more.” — Seoul Metropolitan Government

– “You will not see Flexitol commercials on the Glenn Beck show. Period.” — Eulactol USA, makers of Flexitol

Eighty companies have now distanced themselves from Beck since Color of Change launched its boycott in in August. Help hold Beck accountable here.

1. I would love to see the entire list! But in a strange way, Beck thinks this makes him

more important. He spins it that all those comapnies see him as a"threat".He is fighting for the "little guy". What a bogus ass.

3. does he have any left?

damn. i'm not gonna watch to see, but there can't be many left.
now are they going to have to admit that "we are only doing what makes money" is a lie?

5. I can't watch either. Maybe some braver souls will let us know.

I have a hard time even watching the clips Olbermann & Maddow play of his show. He reminds me of those evangelical preachers who scream their message & cry a lot! I can't & won;t watch them either!

My cousin is a minister and I told him if he ever turned into a Fallwell and the like, I'd disown him for sure! BTW, he never did.

8. Beck is now officially on corporate welfare

His show no longer pays for itself. In business terms, his show is now operating at a loss.

Newscorp is not doing too well. They can't keep running unprofitable ventures.

Beck's time is limited.

9. How abut the US?

Yah sure, they pull out of the UK where they laugh at us anyway, but do they pull out of US advertising?
