      FEMA? Advertising on the same show that says they are setting up re-education camps? LOL!

      Once upon a time, I had to scroll down the list when you posted it. Now I don't.

      Beck's 15 are almost over.

      Is there anyone who monitors these Beck broadcasts and sees whose ads are actually run?
      I know it is potentially hazard duty, but all that is posted is the advertisers who say they don't want to air on the show.
      FOX surely isn't being nice to those who sign their network ad contracts and then want to air only when they want to. Rather, FOX airs the ads whenever they want them to air. Including on the Beck time slots.
      Neither is FOX going to let these advertisers out of their contracts. So the advertiser faces having to pay anyway, and allow FOX to play the ads when it wants to.

      I think the better question is how long can these smaller business afford advertising on his show? These guys can't spend everyday like this forever. They must be getting a fat discount as is.

      Out of 16, it looks like almost half are conservative organizations (National Review) or essentially conservative PACs (Americans Against Food Taxes, Americans for Prosperity, The Foundation for a Better Life, Conservatives for Patients’ Rights). Not much left that is actually a real company making money by selling a product. Of the rest, three are gold buying companies (Goldline International, Inc., Lear Capital, Rosland Capital), are the types of advertisers you see at 2 in the morning (ExtenZe, Hydrolyze), and who knows about "Consumer Debt Advocate". The Villages is a real company, but also conservative based on my understanding of them.

      The only "real" companies are Roche, LifeLock, and Sepracor. And FEMA.

      It looks like the boycott has worked and driven any real companies away. The ones left are probably thrilled at the rate their getting for the number of viewers, but I can't imagine that Fox isn't losing money on what they're paying Beck compared to his revenue.

      Apparently he smacked a video of the President on his show...

      I hope these are conservative trolls who are posting these Beck demise stories. If not, you all have lost your minds. Red Eye on Fox at Three AM has a larger audience than Campbell Brown on CNN at Eight PM in prime time, for pete's sake. Beck certainly has bombast down and he has the desired effect of goosing the moonbats extant into giddy vitriol. It is very pleasing to see. Beck got the crackpot commie Jones fired and it looks like Jennings might not be far behind. We are encouraged when you guys go after us because that means we are effective.
      The icing on the cake is the Nobel Appease Prize. This guarantees the Bamster the one term, Carter-style, unless he decides to change his mind yet again and go after the Second Amendment, in which case his one term might be considerably shorter. This would be a sad tragedy for us all but is a commonly talked about possibility here in Canada so would not be a complete surprise.

      Do you guys actually watch Beck? He hasn't much nice to say about Republicans, either, especially the ones into big government, something we ALL should be against.

      Oh and, I boycott all who pull there advertising from anything on Fox. So your list is useful for conservatives.

      See ya. Off to other wackjob sites to stir up some s**t.

      Hydrolyze is a product which is garnering numerous consumer complaints, so they may not be around long and at least four are paid for by "conservative" special interest groups and then the National Review. Looks like Beck has very few legitimate advertisers.

      I figured LifeLock was a right wing company. Seems righties are suckers for anything that is pitched to them as protection.

      I've been thinking about finding a product that will exploit that weakness. Something like motion sensors around their house. Call it "intruder alert".

      Why are they so afraid?

      -
      Beck bits and FUX News is the Republican Party, (so denoted), Communications Branch, and therefor any money to it is partisan political contributions -- so-called 'sponsors' are donors.

      Which could be illegal or not. However there are LAWS for REPORTING political contributions:

      - the amount of money must be reported to the Fed.Elect.Comm. and there is a capped limit of contributions per source

      - the aired material content must contain a certification statement authorized by the candidate or Party recipient

      - retail organization sponsors should placard a sign on their public walk-in door stating that shoppers' money goes to political contributions, partly

      - cable company bills must include notice to subscribers detailing the part of cable fees which are paid contributions to the Republican Party, Communications Branch.
