"Fox News has announced that Glenn Beck's TV show will end later this year. This is great news, and it wouldn't have happened without the efforts of ColorOfChange.org members. Since our campaign began in 2009, more than 285,000 of us demanded that Beck's advertisers stop supporting his show, and they listened — roughly 300 companies abandoned his show. And we've made sure that major advertisers have stayed away from Beck — since the end of 2009, Beck's only advertisers have been companies selling things like gold coins and exercise machines.
Beck's lack of advertisers made him a financial liability for Fox, and it's clear that this was a driving factor in his departure from Fox. This is an incredible and unprecedented victory."
Of course Color of Change was founded by Van Jones who Beck demonized endlessly. Ironic that in the long run he finally helped get Beck kicked off the air.
