Conservative talk show host Glenn Beck returns to the air today after taking what some insiders say was a forced week’s vacation.
The Glenn Beck Show, FOX News Channel’s 2nd most popular show, was hit with a mass exodus of advertisers after he commented that Barack Hussein Obama was a racist with “a deep-seated hatred for white people.”
FOX News Channel immediately distanced itself from Beck’s inflammatory remarks, but that was not enough as dozens of advertisers jumped ship. Last week FOX asked Beck to take a break from the show until things cooled down.
To date, 33 major advertisers has asked FOX to reassign their ads to other FOX shows. Beck uttered his inflammatory comment about Obama on another FOX show on July 28, despite the fact that Obama is half white.
A spokesman for Clorox, the maker of bleach products, said in a statement, “we do not want to be associated with inflammatory speech used by either liberal or conservative talk show hosts.”
The week before his vacation, Beck pulled the highest ratings ever for his show — 2.4 million viewers per day. FOX spokeswoman Irena Briganti said FOX News Channel has not lost any revenue as a result of the boycott of Beck’s show.
Rednecks jump up only to get beat down. You are dealing with a different type of Negro.
Fox isn’t going to lose any viewers. Those are hardcore watchers they have. Some people watch that shyt all day, and nuthing else.
@Starr Sandra would be one of those ppl
Fox is just a modern day support group for backward hate mongers that aren’t ready for this millennium. You can tell from the way they pose their arguments on their shows. I don’t understand how an enlightened person would look forward to go home to watch Fox.
Sandra, did you read what Gov. Paterson said about white america? The reason no one wants him to run to serve another term as governor is due to his race. I believe he said that whites get nervous when there are too many blacks in charge.
How can a person that is both white and black hate what he is partly? Fox and it’s hatemonger,racist and ignorant folk.
He is both white and black.
