The boycott is working: It is being reported that the Glenn Beck show is losing more than 50% of its weekly ad revenue as a result of this boycott. Keep it up!

It also appears that Fox News has been left with unsold airtime on Glenn Beck’s show!

To date (01/11/10), here is the full list of sponsors that have pulled ads from the Glenn Beck Program:

1. Roche can go fuck itself. I used Redoxon until now. I'm switching.
"Roche has withdrawn their commitment to cease sponsoring Glenn Beck, and is now running ads again on the Glenn Beck show."

2. I called Dish Network to complain
and got back a lame email.
Here is the main body of text:
Thank you for your e-mail. DISH Network is not responsible for any of the programming content shown on stations carried on the satellite. Each network has control over its own programming lineup. Please understand that the programming offered by DISH Network does not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of the corporation. Any questions or comments regarding a network’s programming content should be addressed with that network directly. Please refer to www.zap2it.com to obtain the addresses of all networks.
So they don't want to be held accountable for the programming content of the shows they advertise on?
I mailed back that I DO take responsibility for any money they may have profited off of me.

3. I've got a Net 10 phone. I e-mailed to complain and got back a form-letter reply to call support.
I suppose they do need to verify that I'm actually a customer, but it didn't even include their position on the matter.
