Report: UPS Announces It Will Stop Advertising On Bill O'Reilly's Fox News Show »
Posted By TimALoftis 8 months, 1 week ago in Political News
In response to our Stop Supporting The O’Reilly Harassment Machine campaign, UPS told us yesterday that it was investigating whether to continue supporting O’Reilly’s show. “We are sensitive to the type of television programming where our messages and presence are associated and continually review choices to affect future decisions,” spokeswoman Susan Rosenberg told us.
Today UPS announced it will stop advertising on O’Reilly’s show. Here is the statement UPS emailed out just moments ago:
Thank you for sending an e-mail expressing concern about UPS advertising during the Bill O’Reilly show on FOX News. We do consider such comments as we review ad placement decisions which involve a variety of news, entertainment and sports programming. At this time, we have no plans to continue advertising during this show.

Maybe Klarissa, pc25, tcaros and BillO the Clown would like someone to follow them around town a few hours. Just to ask them a couple questions. After all, harassing someone on vacation is no big deal in some states. It's called stalking, you republican A$$Clowns. BillO needs to be stopped. Kudos to UPS! Will FedEx be next?

Fox News is like a trainwreck. You know you should not stop to look, but you have to tune in to find out whether the whole thing will explode. I noticed that the veins in BillO's head get larger every time he mentions Keith Olbermann or MSNBC.

Justice4all - you anti-Semite bastard -- when did Murdoch convert? Did you do his circumcision orally?
Last time I checked - Ruppert owned Fox news - oh I know you think Rodger Ailes owns it . He's Jewish so you can assume he owns it - you anti-Semite bastard

Fox News Ratings Remain Strong, #2 Cable Channel In Primetime

Fox News is continuing its ratings dominance as America settles into the Obama era.
After a strong month of February, in which the network ranked #3 in primetime among all cable channels, Fox News posted even stronger ratings for the week ending March 1. It placed #2 in primetime among all cable channels — behind only USA — and averaged 2.6 million viewers for the week, which included President Obama's first address to a joint session of Congress.
This marks the seventh consecutive week that Fox News has placed in the top three cable channels in primetime — meaning that is has sustained interest for the duration of the Obama administration, emphatically ending any debate whether the network would succeed under a Democratic administration.
As a comparison, CNN ranked 14th in primetime (averaging 1.2 million total viewers) and MSNBC ranked 19th in primetime (averaging 1.1 million total viewers).
In total day ratings, where Nickelodeon is a perennial first-place winner, Fox News placed 4th (averaging 1.3 million total viewers), CNN ranked 17th (averaging 685,000 total viewers), and MSNBC placed 26th (averaging 483,000 total viewers). -

Exactly. Everyone knows that the papparazis (I'm probally mispelling it too) are scum and what they do is wrong. So ofcourse what Oreilly does is wrong, reguardless wether or not he supports the left or the right. -

Let's face it folks, the progressive liberals in this country can't stand the truth on how they are totally wrong on many of the issues and they want to stop anyone who speaks out against their liberal agenda for destroying our country. Can you tell that I am upset with what is happening to our once great country? Did you see where BABY KILLER TILLER got off. Case in point, in how far our country has strayed from God and what our country was founded on.

what else could it be? cause we're soooooo wrong and you're sooooo right.
FYI: Obama happens to be the embodiment of the American Dream and of the American promise that any of us has the chance to make it to the top.
Democracy has spoken.
Deal with it. -

--Yep...We're wrong. That's why we control all three branches of government and the GOP keeps losing elections. Republican's approval ratings are in the toilet because Americans don't trust those you support to run our country. But don't let reality spoil your fun, "truth". ;-P

The funny thing about this is O'Reilly himself decries the papparazi as scum on his show. There's no need for him to be consistent, however, as his audience is not demanding of such. Its entertainment for those who already agree with him.
