A crack surveillance team has found footage from Fox News Channel's security cameras of Glenn Beck's office after he discovered that ColorOfChange.org's campaign has resulted in ten more sponsors pulling out of advertising on the Crazy One's show, bringing us to a total of 46 advertisers just saying no.

But it is more astroturf. News Corpse has the story:

The US Justice Foundation which is sponsoring defendglenn.com is nothing more than a right wing extremist group run by the appropriately named Gary Kreep. It is posing as a fan group and is apparently gaining credibility in the lazy press.

every time you throw a little mud , you lose a little ground .
The "liberal" media picks Jenna Bush as a news correspondent. I love the irony of a monopolist like Murdoch blaming the BBC for the lack of independent news organizations. The enemy in Afghanistan is smarter than us, while our allies managed to rig the vote. Finally, an article from a mainstream organization which ties low income earnings to low consumption and a weaker economy. So are we really gone from Iraq?
The MSM sure loves their brain dead connected celebs.
and somehow jenna bush, who has no journalism experience (fuck her ghost written books) gets a gig as a correspondant
this is a ratings ploy, and i hope it blows up in nbc's face
the only way i would watch her is if she flashed her poon on screen
Maria Shriver? I'm no righty by any measure, but I knew kids who worked full time and went to school part-time for years just to get a break in broadcasting. Maria got her 'degree' and waltzed right in. Left or right nepotism isn't cool and the people who take advantage aren't either.
Whatever happened to Meritocracy?
Oh yeah...nevermind...
In the music industry and most media industries, if anybody ever did a survey, it prob would show 80% of jobs went to insider spawn.
............as in BUSHCRIMEFAMILY, some people in the PETROLEUM MAFIA are deadset on that OILPIPELINE to BLOODYISRAEL no matter what kind of slaughter, pillaging, profiteering, torturing, corruption, .............NO MATTER WHAT!!! The Hell PIPELINE TO BLOODYISRAEL MUST BE BUILT! hahahahaahaha that they got outsmarted (s)elections this time.
is incredibly funny to me. hahahahaah
You sound like a real loon. Israel has hardly any oil (I once saw a website that showed it produces 400 barrels a day which is miniscule.)

beck will have his lonesome rhodes moment soon. there will be some sort of real melt down. that's why his ratings are going up. no one cant wait to see a car wreck. same reason every station in LA goes live with a chopper to follow police chases.... goes on here all the time, and the minute to minute ratings go up....
makes for great tv, but makes you want to barf.
Yeah, I think you're right about that.
Beck had some psychiatrist on his show Friday (Keith Ablow....the guy's been around a lot on various talk shows).
Apparently the reason Beck had this guy on was to help Beck cope with all the names people have been calling him.
If there's anything on TV that makes me want to barf, it is Glenn Beck!
The admission 'its performance art !'
What do "I hate Obama" Pastor Steve Anderson and "I hate gays" Oklahoma State Rep Sally Kern and the Pastor of a vidoegrapher that was trying to teabag our progressive church at a demonstration in Raleigh, all have in common?
Pastor Steve Anderson, Sally Kern's Preacher husband, and the local guy's Pastor are all members of the "Black Regiment Pastors"/Preachers started by this "manifesto":
http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/c2007/cbarchi...
Here is the "Black Regiment" registry.
http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/blackregiment...
You can look up Anderson and Kern's husband there. Plenty of World Nut Daily fans on that list too.
They like to quote nineteenth century revivalist Charles G. Finney :
"If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it.
If the public press lacks moral discernment, the pulpit is responsible for it.
If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it.
If the world loses its interest in Christianity, the pulpit is responsible for it.
If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it.
If our politics become so corrupt that the very foundations of our government are ready to fall away,
the pulpit is responsible for it."
- for context of that speech, he was an abolitionist!
Guy must be rolling in his grave.
His show with Rush on Wednesday pulled in 3 million plus. I suppose one can take heart in the fact that it's less than 1/100th of our country's population.
wanting to watch or listen to Rush and Beck '69' each other.
To show up at the range with a target like this , or one of cheney , or bush , or rummy , or condi ( the russians called her the black poddle ) or any neocon or bankster or any war / fear monger or chickenhawk or u choice .
Sad you could sell more targets of BO @ shooting ranges than all of the neocons put togehter
every time you throw a little mud , you lose a little ground .
with the congressman and his story about the kid and the heart transplant. These people don't think. It was obvious that the congressman was trying to tell the sheep that public option turned the operation down when we don't even have a public option to turn the operation down. WTF? You can't talk to people that can't put 2 and 2 together to get 4.
hell, all these people,the 29%ers who showed
up for this

I want you all to be above this kind of crap.
We have surrendered our passion for freedom to the acquisition of stuff. We cannot even mount a decent opposition to wars that are destroying what little we have left in our treasury or to resist the oligarchy that has taken over our electoral process.
or fake news, or fake economics, or fake TV pundits...
But if people are going to get up in arms about the photo-shopped "Joker" Obama, doesn't it seem a little bit silly to then turn around and praise a photo-shopped image that makes fun of the 'other' side? (FWIW, the Joker Obama is at least a better example of satire - this is just flat making fun of someone.)
Once upon a time, there was a wonderful art called the political cartoon. It seems to have been replaced by the dubious 'art' of ridicule.
Something doesn't compute; on their best days, Beck, Hannity & O'Reilly have audiences around 3 million. On cable, where the ad rates are lower. Yet they are all reported to earn in the $10 million range. Compare that to the big 3 (NBC, CBS & ABC) anchors who make about the same, with audiences of 8-12 million viewers. It doesn't add up. Are the Fox News (laugh) "reporters" being propped up, their salaries based more on getting out the message than the actual income they bring in?
I know for a fact (from selling radio ads) that many of Rush's affiliates get his program for free, and many, many more get it included in "packages". But his income DOES reflect the profits he generates. The same ratio (of audience share to pay) doesn't seem to apply to FNC.
Does anyone else have any ideas on this?
that Murdache spent over a billion before Fox made him a dime so, who knows what the real numbers are.
I would assume so, Faux is a propaganda outfit for corporatists and the CIA (which is not really a gov agency, but more of an action club and dirty tricks dept for the elite), its not a news org.
all radio ad revenue is down
that is why dr laura is moving from the number 2 station in la to the 20th
oh...and our old pal john ziegler is out on his ass again, after only being on the air for 2 months
i even posted at the time that his excitement in regards to being back on the radio showed that the man knows nothing about the medium
he took a gig with a station owned by a guy who likes to change formats more often than a hooker changes her panties
so now they are going all music (brilliant for am radio) but aiming at the over 50 crowd....again, a brilliant move...lol
but ziegler is all over the net again ranting about the evil radio industry
never seen a guy burn every bridge in his career...guess he enjoys unemployment
maybe he can get a gig nearer his gf in wasilla
Did Ziegler do anything this time to get fired, or was it just that the owner changed formats?
Ziegler was on KMOX radio here in St. Louis Friday afternoon, on a conservative's radio program. I can't stand that guy, so I turned him off....but he is making the rounds.
There's something wrong with Ziegler....he has a most unhealthy obsession with Sarah Palin.

Corruption favors the wealthy.
This is hilarious! Cracks me up!!!
I hate Beck with a passion, and this just made my day (the picture, that is!)
I thought I heard the number of advertisers was up to 46....thanks Nicole for clarifying. This is great, even if it may not ultimately take Beck off the air or affect Fox's bottom line. It at least is a great symbolic gesture; let's hope it becomes more.
the picture of Vitter in diapers to photoshop Beck's head onto?
I thought those diapers looked familiar!
Vitter the Critter with Beck's head on top!
According to a newly released Rasmussen poll, though satisfaction with legislators has improved to a small degree since the presidential election, 57 percent of Americans would vote to reboot the U.S. Congress by replacing every single lawmaker and “starting over.”
The polling firm also said that while 18 percent were unsure, just 25 percent of voters would like to keep the present slate of lawmakers.
Some stuff you can't make up!
History has shown us that when a gov becomes very unpopular, theres a small minority that will go to extreme lengths to show their displeasure.
They love the status quo as it is.
Is the same 25% that voted for bush/chenny and is the same 25% of pedophiles, idiots and morons that think sadam was involved in 911.
republicanism is a mental illness!
to believe that Saddam was responsible for 9/11, no matter that all the UN WMD inspectors and all the sane critics called BS on it, GOP line was Saddam Saddam Saddam, much easier than admitting that failed GOP policy and planning created OBL and the 9/11 horror.
GWB would have been impeached and or been a one termer, if the MSM as a collective beast had been real journalists as they claim, but the majority of the corporate MSM backed up the war profit party. And they either drowned out, relegated to minor jobs, or fired all the inquiring journalists.
Republicanism is a mental illness called sociopathy. I like your 'project' to keep that mime going. Mine is BLOODYISRAEL.
According to a newly released Rasmussen poll, though satisfaction with legislators has improved to a small degree since the presidential election, 57 percent of Americans would vote to reboot the U.S. Congress by replacing every single lawmaker and “starting over.”
And yet in the next election nothing will change.
Let's see how far to the right they go before they fall off of the edge of this flat world.
gotta share the good stuff around. Some Faux/Beck lovers have downvoted it already LMAO.

why has color of change never gone after rush the fat racist...that is the guy to get
cut off the head...and the rest of the snake will die
I think they are a relatively new organization, and they are an African American one at that. I think they go after people like Beck who have made racist comments, such as calling Obama a racist.
Just wait until Limpballs makes his first comments about African Americans....I bet Color of Change goes after him in a big way.
