UPDATE: PLEASE RECO THIS. AND, PLEASE EMAIL THIS DIARY ENTRY OR A LINK TO THIS DIARY ENTRY TO ANYONE YOU KNOW THAT DISLIKES BECK. LET'S TRY TO GET THIS VIRIAL.
Below the fold is the list of sponsors still running spots on The Glenn Beck Show (TGBS). This list is compiled from yesterday's show.
Here's an example of one of the most vile things to appear recently on The Glenn Beck Show; it's a perfect example of why no responsible sponsor can morally or ethically continue to support TGBS.
http://www.youtube.com/...
That clip is from The Glenn Beck Show on Aug 6, 2009. In it, Beck laughingly suggests that one of his fans should poison the Speaker of The House Rep. Nancy Pelosi.
The question that each sponsor needs to answer is, "Regardless of one's politics, what kind of sponsor would endorse a show which urges its viewers to poison someone?"
The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
This first list is for TGBS of Tues Aug 25, 2009 which aired at 2:00PM PDT on Directv channel 360 on the 101W satellite.

The late-night 11:00PM PDT repeat of the Tues Aug 25 Glenn Beck Show was mostly preempted by coverage of Sen. Kennedy's death. At least the whole first segment and the last two segments of The Glenn Beck Show of Tues Aug 25 were preempted. Most of the commercial breaks during the rest of the show were also preempted. There were only two breaks during which commercials were aired. Here's the list of sponsors for the short commercial breaks at around 11:40PM and 11:49PM that weren't preempted:
First Break @ 11:40PM:
-
News Corp ; Glenn Heck ; n/a
- Euro-Pro Operating LLC ; Shark Steam Pocket Mop ; 1-800-644-8046 / 617-243-0235 / www.euro-pro.com/flash.aspx
-
News Corp ; Glenn Heck ; n/a
Second Break @ 11:49PM:
-
News Corp ; Glenn Heck ; n/a
- Tempur-Pedic Management Inc. ; Tempur-pedic matress ; 800-905-1354 / www.tempurpedic.com/customer_service/contact_us
- Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. ; Liberator catheters for medicare recipients ; 1-800-323-0914 / www.liberatormedical.com/contact.aspx
- Direct Buy ; 800-809-9545 / www.directbuyprices.com
Note: I didn't actually watch TGBS. Rather, I used my DVR to skip over the worthless content and just looked at the commercials. Luckily I can skip over the content at a very high speed and accurately hit the beginning of the commercial break because during the program there's a "news" crawl at the bottom of the screen. When the crawl disappears I'm able to hit resume just fast enough so that my DVR will start normal play right at the beginning of the commercial break.
Note: In many cases, these sponsors may be buying non-specific blocks of air-time and may not realize their spots are appearing during TGBS (nor even that they're appearing on FNC). If that's their "excuse" and if they don't endorse what Beck says, then as politely as possible, let them know that they just need to explicitly instruct their media buyer to modify their ad buy to specify "no Glenn Beck".
