I am just amazed at how the left operates for the most part. I mean the far left, not your average Americans. I am talking about the people behind Acorn, Code Pink, MoveOn.Org, and ColorOfChange.com. I have never seen so much propaganda from any other group. 

 

The campaign by ColorOfChange.org to get companies to boycott Glenn Beck's Fox News program has been going on for a little more than a month, and they do have 62 companies whom have pledged support. These companies have refused to advertise on his program. My first question is who are these companies? Followed closely by were they even previous advertisers? I am looking on their website trying to find the list. So far I can see a brief paragraph explaining that because he called the President a racist, therefor he is a racist. By that logic would it not make ColorOfChange.org -- racist?

The group's founder, James Rucker, has put out a release on the boycott:

 

These are two vastly different claims, and I am sure Fox is in the right. First off if you watch Glenn's show the first thing you will notice is that the show still has advertisers. Second, if you look at the ratings his show is generally in the top two for cable news programs. Glenn is continually drawing enormous ratings, and advertisers must pay for that combined with the wide audience he has. Even with that said, anyone with more than a pea for a brain will tell you that month-to-month data comparisons will never show any true trends. The fact that this boycott has only been in progress for a little over a month will yield no useful data for at least the next couple of months.

 

Yet, this campaign will continue with their propaganda machine and outright lie to obtain support from those who think like them. I am however curious who these "industry sources" are that estimated the loss figures for ColorOfChange.org? They very well did not spoke with Fox's ad sales department.

 

Furthermore, even if companies that would have advertised on the program do start to join in this game; they are only boycotting this program, not Fox News. With that being said, companies can request not to be included during a particular program. What they will do is spread their advertising time across the rest of the day. So unless they boycott Fox News outright, they are still paying Glenn Beck's salary. Does that not still defeat the purpose? If Fox is not losing any ad revenue, and Glenn is still drawing the ratings he is. Even with this silly boycott it is win-win for Fox.
