How our right-wing talkers are explained to the British by one of the Guardian’s columnists: don’t miss the bit where Michael Savage, banned from travel to Britain, whines about Obama’s ecstatic reception in Ireland. I liked this bit where BillO grouses that FOXNews don’t get no respect.
It is understandable why O’Reilly would be concerned about losing advertisers in light of the recent cancellation of his colleague Glenn Beck’s show. Though no official reason was given for the programme’s cancellation, it is widely speculated that the loss of revenue resulting from the Stopbeck campaign’s call for an advertiser boycott had something to do with it. Now the DropFox campaign is calling on companies to reconsider advertising on other Fox News programmes if, as Ilyse Hogue, project director of DropFox, puts it, “allying their brand with Fox News may be at odds with the values of their customer base”.
