Updated: Even more advertisers pull support for Glenn Beck
ConAgra, Roche, Sanofi-Aventis and RadioShack Pull Advertisements from Fox News Channel’s Glenn Beck.

Latest Group of Advertisers Joins Growing List of Companies Distancing Themselves from FNC Anchor

OAKLAND, Calif.—ColorOfChange.org this week received confirmation from four more companies – ConAgra (maker of Healthy Choice products), Roche, Sanofi-Aventis, and RadioShack – pledging to pull their ads from Fox News Channel’s Glenn Beck show. These new defections come on the heels of reports that Men’s Wearhouse, State Farm and Sargento also pulled their ads in recent days. They join LexisNexis-owned Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, SC Johnson and GEICO, who all pulled their ads from Glenn Beck after the news host called President Obama a “racist” who “has a deep-seated hatred for white people,” on “Fox and Friends.”

3. And when nobody is left to pay
They'll be a sock puppet in place of Beck's show, a much better alternative. Maybe they can find some cameo guest voices or better yet just show those color bars, yeah!

8. Makes me want to stimulate the economy
by buying anything these folks make. I could buy some Healthy Choice food and a surge protector extension cord from the Radio Shack and tell them why! Good on them! Let ol' Rupert foot the bill for producing, Guano Batshit Bleckkk's, program.

12. It's passed the tipping point!
Any advertisers that do not pull their ads will effectively be saying "we condone what Beck is saying". It's musical chairs and the chairs keep coming out!
