Glenn Beck Loses Advertisers
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010So there have been about 200 companies that have boycotted advertising on Glenn Beck’s show including Apple. I can understand this, Glenn Beck incites hatred by using poor logic and tricking people into using common sense for things that require knowledge and understanding. Some companies may not like to associate their brand to him, and they have every right to spend their money how ever they choose to spend it.
What I don’t understand are the conservatives crying about it. Is not capitalism something that is a core conservative and Republican belief? Is not freedom something they are supposed be fighting for? A company choosing where, how and when their advertisement will be shown based on how much they’re willing to spend is just capitalism in action. So either support capitalism and shut the fuck up about how unfair it is… or revise your stance on capitalism.
I’m fucking sick of this shit. Have some integrity and either be for or against something, but this bullshit of only being for something when benefits you and against it when it doesn’t is just stupid. Just like the free speech “issue” they keep bringing up, they claim they have the right so anything they want under free speech but when someone happens to use the same kind of baseless speculation and questioning against Glenn Beck, he gets all upset and attempts to sue them. Which way do you want it? Free speech only for the people you agree with is not free speech. You either support free speech (including the people who you don’t agree with), or you support controlled speech… of course you could not care either way or not be informed enough to have an opinion but this is for the people that complain.
Anyway, if you want to support boycotting of Glenn Beck advertisements or if you want to support Glenn Beck, here are a few sites to check out:
