http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/14/business/media/14adco.html?_r=2 about sponsors pulling ads from glenn beck's television program on fox news, i came across this gem:
Past efforts to put pressure on cable news advertisers have met more resistance. In the spring, when the liberal group ThinkProgress protested Bill O’Reilly of Fox News by contacting corporate sponsors, most wrote back by blandly thanking them for taking the time to write. One Ford Motor employee even suggested they abandon the petition tactic, writing, “the silly form letters are just annoying and easy to delete.”
considering the current climate for automotive sales, it might be fairly easy to delete ford motors as an automobile purchase choice--in fact, i think i just did.
