So who’s still advertising on Beck? September 30 edition ...

September 30, 2009 6:40 pm ET by Media Matters staff

More than 60 advertisers have reportedly dropped their ads from Glenn Beck's Fox News program since he called President Obama a "racist" who has a "deep-seated hatred of white people." Here are his September 30 sponsors, in the order they appeared:

  • Rosland Capital
  • Jos. A. Bank Clothiers
  • American Advisors Group
  • Goldline International, Inc.
  • News Corp. (The Wall Street Journal)
  • Lear Capital
  • Sandals
  • Federal mortgage relief hotline 1-877-414-2244
  • Hydrolyze
  • Conservatives for Patients' Rights
  • Imperial Structured Settlements
  • Clarity Media Group (The Weekly Standard)
  • Columbia Records (Barbara Streisand's Love is the Answer)
  • Consumer Debt Advocate
  • Americans Against Food Taxes
  • ooVoo*
  • Superior Gold Group
  • Nutrisystem
  • LifeLock

* Correction: Media Matters incorrectly identified this advertiser as GFI. We regret the error.

      I know that for as long as I live I will never buy another stitch of clothing from Jos. A. Bank. Not even a pair of socks. Besides the guy who owns the local Jos. A. Bank is a right wing Republican.

      Some of these are a no-brainer. Scam-operations--Nutrisystem,Federal Mtge relief hotline(hint-they're not Federal),Imperial Structured Settlements,Consumer Debt Advocate(all they advocate is taking YOUR money and putting it in THEIR pockets), Americans Against Food Taxes--shill front for 'high fructose corn syrup' producers,soft drink indstry,and....McDonalds!),Conservitives for Patients' Rights(RIGHT...The health insurance industry), News Corp( Fox News' Mr.Rupert Murdoch), Hydrolize and LifeLock-Scams,all! The Weekly Standard- Oh yeah, like I read that right wing rag anyhow.

      Jos A Banks will never see my money. Thanks for making the decision between them and Mens Warehouse. Sandals? They weren't going to see my money either---Disney of the Carribbean-like a gated community(and I HATE Disney). As for the rest, I'll judge them by the company they keep.

      They'll all join my list of "untouchables" to be added to 'Con-Agra's long line of products('Con-Agra' made the list for the dubious quality of their food products---and having spent more money attempting to hide their dangerous flaws than coming right out and alerting the public to the deadly contamination in their foodstuffs---Peter Pan, Orville Redenbacher AND ACT II, Guldens, LaChoy,Reddi-Wip,Banquet,et al.

      Thanks for the Tip.

      Are some of these advertisers having a bit of fun? FEMA has bought several spots and now Barbara Streisand's Love is the Answer?

      I knew there was something fishy about the Jos. A. Bank guys, now my suspicions are confirmed.

      I don't know who will be more offended by Barbra's ad, her or Glenn Beck. I'm hoping it's Glennie, I wonder how long the ad will play.

      GFI Software has never advertised on any of Glenn Beck’s shows and therefore should not feature on the above list.

      We have learnt that another company, ooVoo, has advertised there and one of their ads features GFI as a testimonial.

      We have now contacted ooVoo about this matter.
