Another big one bails out of ad support for Glenn Beck's show: Verizon.
My e-mail from the good people at Credo mobile below.
Dear (Cenobyte),
I'm delighted to let you know that we received confirmation today that Verizon Wireless is no longer advertising on the Glenn Beck show.
ColorOfChange.org has done amazing work to bring national awareness to Beck's race-baiting commentary on FOX News Channel. In the last few weeks, over 20 companies including Wal-Mart, CVS, Best Buy, and Travelocity have confirmed with ColorOfChange.org that they have ceased advertising on the show or placed Glenn Beck's program on a "do not air" list.
It was on July 28 that Glenn Beck declared on FOX News Channel: "This president has exposed himself as a guy over and over and over again who has a deep-seated hatred for white people ... this guy is, I believe, a racist."
The response of corporate advertisers distancing themselves from Beck's despicable remarks is encouraging. But these baseless, racist and increasingly dangerous attacks also reveal just how far the right-wing media machine will go to try and stop our movement for change.
Thank you for working for a better world.
Becky Bond, Political Director

ColorOfChange.org has done an amazing job.
And many thanks from me to all of my fellow kossacks who contacted Verison and other companies whose ads were appearing on Beck's show.
Zero-Fund Glenn Beck!!!
