With America's game down to the final exciting innings of post-season, a new campaign from Americans United for Change is pressuring Major League Baseball to immediately end its unseemly relationship with hate-mongering media personality Glenn Beck. AUFC has launched a new website www.StrikeOutBeck.com in response to recent reports that MLB Advanced Media, the interactive arm of Major League Baseball, is providing Beck with their coveted streaming video platform to stream his daily "GBTV" show online.
Remember when Color of Change began their campaign to persuade advertisers to stop supporting Glenn Beck's Fox News program after he called President Obama a racist? That resulted in more than 400 advertisers refusing to place their ads on Beck's show, which eventually led to its cancellation.
The Strike Out Beck campaign is the online equivalent of that effort. MLB should not be permitted to provide the platform for Beck's hate speech and conspiracy theories without some critical feedback. Their reputation as broadcasters of America's Pastime cannot be sustained when they embrace someone who is so antithetical to America's ideals and so hostile to millions of Americans.
To support this campaign, go to Strike Out Beck and sign up. And be sure to visit Glenn Beck Unhinged for a reminder of all the reasons to continue fighting against Beck's divisiveness and lies.
