Seriously? “Beckless Endangerment”? Is that the best I could come up with?
Anyway.
Glenn Beck, mentioned earlier on SH1 as someone who may or may not have raped and murdered a young girl in 1990, is at the centre of a very interested movement in the UK.
For the last eight months, StopBeck.com has been encouraging advertising sponsors of Glenn Beck’s TV show to pull out – as a statement of objection to what StopBeck call Beck’s “History of Hate“.
And here’s the crazy cool thing: for the last eight days, Beck’s show in the UK has run without ads. And that’s because, at last count, 116 sponsors have pulled out. There’s a sort of snowball effect, as fewer and fewer sponsors remain named and shamed and want to jump on the bandwagon.
It will be interesting to see if this sparks similar campaigns, from all corners of the political world.
