You're talking politics and preferences in political views...I'm talking marketing. And yeah you guys can laugh and say that anybody who doesn't believe the way you do is obviously stupid, poor, and a hillbilly. But that's just ego talking, not common sense.
I'll bet ya that if Beck's show really does big numbers, neither he nor Fox News will want for advertisers paying top dollar.
Does anybody know what the reasoning behind these companies "boycotting" Beck is? Does his b.s. entertainment show not agree with their deeply held convictions or something? lol

This was in response to the backlash they were receiving by consumer advocate groups. See link already posted above dated August 2009 -- "Apple targeted in Fox News ad boycott"
This obviously isn't just about ratings and isn't as black and white as you're trying to pretend it is because of your political bias. Some advertising choices can obviously hurt the company regardless of ratings, is the point as I understand it.
