Everyone knows Glenn Beck really hates Van Jones — the co-founder of the advocacy group Color of Change, and the driving force behind the successful advertiser boycott of Beck’s FOX News program.
It all started after Beck accused President Obama of having a “deep-seated hatred for white people.” Color of Change began calling on sponsors to pull their ads from Beck’s show in response. To date, 62 advertisers, from Proctor and Gamble, to Bank of America, and the Men’s Wearhouse, decided to disassociate themself from the Beck circus hour.
This graphic proves the sad state of Glenn Beck’s drop in advertising revenue:
The chart clearly puts to rest FOX’s lie (as well the lies of Rupert Murdock’s buddies on CNBC), who claim the ads will just be shifted around the network, so the boycott isn’t costing the FOX anything. However, at some point the economics of the boycott can no longer be ignored by the bean counters at the network and even Murdock will have to fess up to the fact that the loss of 62 advertisers is having an impact on the network’s bottomline. The 5PM hour — where Beck’s program airs is considered primetime in cableland. Glenn Beck can’t survive forever on local house ads for used cars and penis enlargers creams.

It couldn't happen to a worse pea-brained bigot than Glenn Beck!
This post is about the ad revenues for Beck's program. The line on the chart above is moving down.
Ad buys are based on the prime demographics and view for a time slot. So what are Beck's ratings for his time slot vs the other shows on cable at that time? What are the ratings of his radio show? Isn't he the 3rd most listen to radio show in the country? If not, what is?
By itself a graph proves nothing.
That is a legitimate chart. I looked it up on the internet (which never lies), and found out it is a chart demonstrating the declining IQs of leftists who believe everything they see on their computer screen. So, it wasn't a fraud... It was just labeled incorrectly.
Case closed.

Who cares who buys an ad on Glenn Beck's show. They will sell you one if you want it. They pay the rate, they get the time.
Why do you think they won't release the names of the 60 companies who have supposedly pledged to stop buying airtime on his show? Why do they give numbers that they pulled out of thin air (to put it nicely), with Fox saying they are wildly inaccurate?
The burden of proof is on the one making the claim. This ragtag band of radicals have ZERO proof.
Zero proof = zero acceptance on my part, but you guys are free to come to your own conclusions.
That statement means I win you lose. Now if you can explain what difference who spends their ad dollars on Beck I'll be glad to listen. Just remember a dollar in the bank doesn't care who spent it.
