So who's still advertising on Beck? October 21 edition...

First time at website to see what you're blogging about. So, is there a move to try to take Foxnews and more particularly Glenn Beck down?

Another way to put it:
Gold, -, Gold, -, Propaganda, Propaganda, Gold, Propaganda, Propaganda, -, Gold, -, Gold, -, Gold, Propaganda.

"Americans Against Food Taxes"?

Wow, learn something every day.

Huh? Does this mean from his radio program or his tv show? Because I know they still run the Rosland Capital, National Review, Lifelock, Wall Street Journal, and Weekly Standard commercials during his television show and I know he still advertises Goldline International on the air when he's on radio. Where did this list come from?

Since Applebee's and Toyota dropped Beck,there are no advertisers who sell anything I buy, and very few I even recognize. I wrote my Toyota letter, but wasn't quick enough to write Applebee's before they jumped ship.

Here's a question -- if you only knew the current crop of advertisers and not the name of the show, who would you guess the target market was for those ads, in their aggregate?

Well, to me it looks like people with money to invest, and people literate, uncritical (and boring) enough to read the National Review, the Wall Street Journal and the Weekly Standard. The Anti-Food Tax advertisers appear to be an outlier.

Now, does that sound like the people who actually listen to Beck? Well, whatcha know? There are demographics here: http://www.quantcast.com/glennbeck.com

-- 2/3 male
-- 2/3 over age 35 (half over 50)
-- 98% white
-- largely childless (i.e. no kids at home)
-- ~70% earning above median income, with 30% of that over $100k
-- 70% college grad or higher education
-- American. (Of listenership reported, 1.3 million, only 100,000 are listed as non-American)

Given that Quantcast is in the business of selling ads, and childless rich older men with a lot of disposable income looks like a salable demographic, it still looks like the demographic I described just from the profile of the surviving ads, is actually the target demographic for the show's advertising.

Which means that fairly soon, if not already, the audience and the show will spin off into a tight parallel universe and ad sales will probably be unaffected by further letter writing.

Noni

What is the point? Glenn Beck is right.

another day, still no dead air on Beck. so who's still posting about who's still on Beck?

“So who's still advertising on Beck? October 21 edition”

None of these sponsors are of any significance; most are companies that have been blacklisted as problematic to the conservative left by the Beck machine.

Anyway, they (sponsors) pulled out only because their advertisements weren’t influencing the audiences of this show, which has been proven to be comprised of people politically aware, highly independent, and successful in life.

Yawn.

Mr. Beck, why don't you go advertiser free, like the other televangelists do? You could wave a copy of the Contract on America around, and quote the prophet Reagan, and extol the virtues of screwing over your fellow American in service of the Almighty Dollar. Such a prosperity creed will doubtless be a comfort to those who watch your show and believe you have something to say. You can have inspiration stories about how people watching had a 'word of wealth' and invested wisely, and are now living comfortably in gated communities, sure of their place in society's elite. And at the end of every show, you can tearfully close with the following prayer, which seems to sum up your creed:

Our Money, which art invested
Security be thy name
Thy interest come
Thy dividends be paid
On a quarterly, tax free basis
Give us meaning in daily life
And absolve us of sin
As we cast stones and lie about those who persecute us
Lead us not into debt
but deliver us from taxation
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.

Glenn Beck is really getting rabidly insane these days.

I was listening to Glenn Beck's radio show this AM (10/22/2009 @ ~10:15am) and he said that On-Star and GM had the capabilty, via On-Star, to "deflate your tires." He said that since they can check your tire pressure remotely, through On-Star, "they can also deflate your tires because it works both ways."

He's either incredibly inept, insane, or deliberately lying to hurt On-Star's business among the tin-foilers and shotgun-shack dwellers. He definitely sounded like he's in full jihad against GM and On-Star.
