Bank of America dumps Glenn Beck

Posted By on Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 11:17 AM

Read 'em and weep some more, Glenn Beck. Ten more companies have pulled their advertising from Beck’s show on FoxNews, bringing the current total of Beck-deserting companies to 46. Bank of America is among the new list of 10 businesses, and went so far as to tell the media yesterday that a BofA commercial on Beck’s Wednesday show was “run in error” by media outlets that carry the show.

Other companies joining BofA on the NoMoBeck bandwagon include big advertisers such as DirecTV, General Mills, Kraft, Vonage, Travelers Insurance, and Bell & Howell. The Beck advertising boycott was begun three weeks ago by ColorOfChange.org, after Beck called Pres. Obama a "racist" who "has a deep-seated hatred for white people" during an appearance on Fox & Friends.
