      And once again, it is all about the ratings. With the numbers Beck draws, there will be 10 advertisers to take the place of any one who drops out.

        Those are not exactly top of the line top paying advertisers there and is it just me or are there far fewer? Are they showing the same commercials 3 or 4 times during the show?

        Some of those companies are maybe one step above pawn shops.

        Actually POV, it's not all about ratings. Becky has a pretty good audience (for cable) and yet advertisers are more than happy to walk away from the show. Why is that? It's simple---nice numbers, wrong crowd. Leaving was easy for them.

        Take a look at the sludge left behind... fellow travelers, gold for sale vultures, retirement home providers, medical sales and debt relief goons. What's the sludge tell you about Becky's audience demographics? A lot.

        It says that his audience is right wing (no surprise), old, with medical and financial issues. No wonder the big corporations got out while the gettin' was good.

        In the mind of a Beck fan, it's all about the ratings and the rantings. Integrity and truth? Eh--not so much.

        So if there are going to be 10 to take the place of the ones that left, why aren't there any advertisers taking the place of the ones that left.

        It's NOT about ratings. It's about being associated with a lying sociopath.

      This is probably a good time to advertise on Beck. National exposure at cheap rates. There'll always be a business slobbering about that equation. Whether or not its really a good business decision is the question. Cheap rates versis being associated with Beck.
      Thought Binder & Binder dropped out?

      I've never watched Glen Beck but can't see that he is any more an alarmist than Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi. I wish everyone would stick to reporting information and there was less name-calling all round.

      That said, I don't hear of anyone else consistently bringing up just how radical the people around Obama are. Zeke Emmanuel, John Holdren, and Van Jones make Rev Wright look moderate! And I've just started looking into his minions' pasts. So....think I'll start watching Beck AND supporting the advertisers.

      Don't blame the public if they are becoming alarmed. They know 2 + 2 always = 4...even if the administration says it is now 6.
