Fun With Ratings: How’s that Boycott Against Beck Working Out?


I noticed Stu Burguiere of the Glenn Beck show point out something fascinating on Facebook:

Olbermann 8pm + Maddow 9pm + Olbermann 10pm + Maddow 11pm + 109,000 other people = Beck at 5pm.

So . . . um . . . how’s that boycott against Beck going? The one designed to get him off the air? Sure there have been some advertisers who fled. There have been many more who were never there, but claimed to be part of the boycott.

But does it really matter? Other advertisers are filling the void and Roger Ailes is, so far, perfectly willing to take care of the show.

Again:

Olbermann 8pm + Maddow 9pm + Olbermann 10pm + Maddow 11pm + 109,000 other people = Beck at 5pm.

So how’s that boycott working out? Heh.

The ratings are easy enough to figure out.

1. nobody EXCEPT Olbermann and Maddow give a damn about the ‘boycott’

2. Beck is both entertaining and thoughtful.

3. Olbermann and Maddow are neither.

That’s hilarious. Maybe you should point it out to Olbermann so you can be listed among his ‘very evilist peoples’ hall of fame.

Glenn Beck mocking Olbermann.
Couldn’t resist, and will probably be lambasted, but …
it’s worth it.

Learning Curve

One great thing that is coming out of this whole debacle of a regime, is the leftwing rhetorical currency is being devalued so rapidly. They have used ‘racist’ on so many people that are so obviously not racist, it is losing its impact. They have shown their ‘astroturfing’ use of SEIU and ACORN trying to paint the Tea Parties as artificial. They have dragged out their nefarious ‘rightwing conspiracy’ nonsense with little effect. They’ve tried marginalizing, mocking, isolating, and shun with not much to show for it. Now, companies are going to start realizing their bark is all they got. Business wants the biggest bang for the buck. Some advertisers are going to buck the previous trend of limiting their exposure and use conservative forums as cheap marketing pools.

The lies and falsehoods, tricks and schemes, always reveal themselves in the end.

Probably the most astounding aspect of this is that even the White House is involved

Can you imagine the outrage if the Bush administration set up a blog to combat NBC or the NYT, saying they were an arm of the DNC? They run this White House is run with all the prestige of a corner deli. Chicago politics for ya.

I’m a banned Democrat who came here to promote the idea that Republicans are racists for disliking Barack Obama.

 

This is in fact the worrisome part

If leftist revolutions have proven anything, it is that those ou can’t discredit, you eliminate. I agree that it has gotten to the point that the left’s attempts to discredit people are becoming more and more ineffective… and then what?

 

But they don't go away! They may ebb and flow,

but the communists stay in the game and have since the late 1800s. When we’ve had the opportunity and the power, we on the Right haven’t done a damned thing against the fundamental power base of American communists, the schools, the unions, and the non-profits. We don’t have any power at the federal level right now, but we still have a lot of power in about half the states. Every Republican Governor in the Country should be peeking under the Left’s skirts with an eye towards putting some of them in jail. Instead, most are sitting around thinking that if they’re just nice to the Educrats and teachers, the leftist non-profits, and the unions, that they can get them to like a Republican and maybe even support them The FOOLS! NOBODY in any of these interest groups will EVER support a Republican. They’re going to hate you no matter what you do, so you might as well give them a reason to hate you.

Beck even helps late-night ratings

GregInFla (Diary) Friday, October 16th at 7:48PM EST (link)

A couple weeks ago, it was announced that Fox News Channel’s Red Eye had more viewers than CNN’s Campbell Brown at 8pm. Unstated in this fact, which was mentioned by many talk show hosts, was that Beck is on at 2 am before Red Eye goes on at 3 am. If this were prime-time, the talking heads would be promoting Beck as helping Red Eye ratings. But no one (except me) apparently thought of that angle on the story. I am sure that many people in MDT and PDT zones are catching Beck at 2 am EDT (11pm PDT) and keeping the channel box of Fox News. I’d love to see Beck’s 2am repeat ratings, and how many fancy wheelchairs and floor cleaners get sold due to Beck.

And for those who are DVR-deprived like me, check out this site to see ALL of the FNC Glenn Beck Shows on YouTube. That’s where I am going now to see what the docs said about healthcare (insurance) reform.

Greg:
If you live in Florida you should catch his radio show at 8 AM for you that would be in morning, with the shining.

 
 

The Bottom Line

doubleace Monday, October 19th at 8:27AM EST (link)

When will the White House (WH) ever get it. They can’t win this battle because people get what they want on FOX. I don’t agree with everything said on FOX but I do agree with some. On the Mainstream Media (MSM) networks like CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS etc. you get the same old leftisti propaganda. Nobody wants to see that unless they are leftists. So we all tune out. When the WH attacks that tells me that FOX is saying something they don’t want us to hear, so in typical human behavior what do we all do? We tune in to hear what it is the WH doesn’t want us to know. When will te WH ever get it. We don’t like their MSM because they are nothing but the proaganda arm of the current administration, and basically we don’t like the current administration and what they are doing to out country and out Constitution.

 

But wait! Which advertisers HAVE joined the boycott?

ct236 (Diary) Monday, October 19th at 8:35AM EST (link)

It’s important for all of us to know the advertisers who really HAVE pulled their advertising from Beck. My wife and I want to know what products and companies to boycott, and we want to be able to tell our friends which businesses and products not to purchase. —Tim Condon

GEICO pulled their ads. That would be my former insurance company of the last 30 years. You know, the one with the gecko you want to step on.

I’ve heard no one actually refute Beck, just demonize him. He brings on authorities to refute or bolster his opinion and they don’t always agree with him. Is there a liberal oped show who will bring in support for their opinions or opposing views?

Support The Right Advertisers...

budparker Monday, October 19th at 10:40AM EST (link)

Politics in America has really turned into a strange critter. The populace has been asleep while our illustrious Politicians (on both sides of the isle) have raped, pillaged, and burned our beloved America. The Republicans are, without doubt, the lesser of two evils. Lobbyists, Special Interest Groups, and “Big Money” have created “Funding Junkies” out of our elected officials. Reelection Campaign Donations are the bane of the average American’s existence.

Fox News and now Glenn Beck are a breath of fresh air in the political process. Support Beck and Fox News through their advertisers. Buy their books. Go to their websites so they get “hits” on their pages. It is time to wake up and retake the American Political Process. I did not spend my entire productive years in the Army to have the Far Left leaning extremists usurp the political process in this country.

The way to the re-election s the these professional polititions is for all states to vote for term limits. If they do like Tom Foley of Washington did,shop until he found judge he could buy and have a vote of the people declared unconstitutional. The judge doing this should be stripped of his Robe and sent to prison along with the politition whom instituted the suit against the peoples vote.

 
 

Fun with ratings

Greg in Fla.
Glen Beck is not a late night show like Letterman or Conan O’Brian, out here on the West we receive the Glen Beck show at two in the afternoon,the only people who watch the rerun at two in morning are night people whom don’t know there is such a thing as daylight.

I'm looking at the map

Glenn Beck Rocks!

kegan05 Monday, October 19th at 3:06PM EST (link)

Glenn Beck is the only show that comes on at 2:00 in the afternoon (Pacific Time) that I actually sit down and watch. The nutballs in the White House who are giving this “president” advice should be fired for taking on Fox News. They on NOT going to win. Glenn Beck is making monkey’s out of the bizarre gaggle of Mao-loving dingbats, communists, marxists and garden variety fruits and nuts in the White House. It is hilarious to watch him and he obviously delights in it. Keep up the good work, Glenn and Fox News. You are beating the arrogant thugs at their own game.

they can't help it

It is in their DNA. Let me put it to you this way. Think back on all the smart aleck dweebs in college, the arrogant professors, the maladjusted radicals full of hate, and the parasitical takers that you have known.

Now, did you ever know any of those people who didn’t try to shut up their opponents.
