The Great Beck Boycott

Buried in the middle of a Washington Post survey of the friction Glenn Beck inspires at Fox News, find this jaw-dropping nugget: "More than 200 companies have joined a boycott of Beck's program, making it difficult for Fox to sell ads. The time has instead been sold to smaller firms offering such products as Kaopectate, Carbonite, 1-800-PetMeds and Goldline International. A handful of advertisers, such as Apple, have abandoned Fox altogether. Network executives say they believe they could charge higher rates if the host were more widely acceptable to advertisers." Yet another excellent reason to invite James Cameron over. Just saying. [Washington Post via THR]
