Stop Beck: Best Western Becomes 101st Sponsor To Drop Glenn Beck
Best Western has become the 101st in a long list of sponsors to pull advertising from Beck's show.

Best Western is the latest sponsor to drop Glenn Beck. Of note: they also dropped Glenn Beck in record time – less than 24 hours. Best Western ads first appeared yesterday (Feb. 4). After participants in the StopBeck effort reached out to them, Best Western sent along word this morning that they were pulling their ads.

6. It's great that another sponsor has dropped Beck, but this
really means nothing in the end.

Fox will cling to Beck because he is good for large industries. He's a corporate shill. Big industries make their billions via corporate friendly policies. So, the more scared, confused, and misinformed the citizenry, the easier it is to get what they want policy-wise.

It all about the money. The ad revenue is peanuts compared to the amount of money that is banked with the help of the dumbed down masses, stupidly fighting against their own best interests and that of their fellow Americans.

8. He's Also A Loss Leader...
Wally World may not advertise IN this cesspool but they don't mind hanging around it...advertising elsewhere on the network. Faux loves the numbers this dude draws and they use it to see the rest of their slime.

7. Thank you
for posting this. I went to the site and discovered that I utilize two of the companies on the list of current supporters.
Each got a strongly worded letter that I will cease using their products and services if they continue to support beck, and further that I would discourage others from doing so.

9. What's funny about this is ...



Freepville will start a "boycott Best Western" movement. Just like they were so sure they would get Letterman fired. :rofl:

Two thousand freeper idiots said they would march outside Letterman's studio. When it came time to
live up to their word, there were more media types there than freeper types. :rofl:


These assholes are always good for a laugh. It must really hurt to be that damned stupid.
