Last week, Fox News host Glenn Beck called President Obama a
“racist” with a “a deep-seated hatred for white people.” In
response, ColorOfChange called on its members to tell Beck’s
advertisers to drop his show over his race-baiting.
ColorOfChange announced today that three advertisers have said
that they are dropping Beck:
Three companies who run ads during Glenn Beck —
NexisLexis-owned Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble and
Progressive Insurance — today distanced themselves from Beck.
LexisNexis has pulled its advertising from Beck and says it
has no plans to advertise on the program in the future. Both
Procter & Gamble and Progressive Insurance called the Beck
advertising placements an error that they would correct.
The decision by the three companies comes as over 45,000
ColorofChange.org members call on advertisers to pull their
ads from Glenn Beck after the controversial news host called
President Obama a “racist” who “has a deep-seated hatred for
white people” on “Fox & Friends” last week.
