Glen Beck commercials on AAR Los Angeles... Why?

[devilgrrl]

I barely know who he is to begin with but judging from the commercial aired he sounds like a wanna-be O'Reillyesque asshole. Gee whiz, you'd think people would be tiring of that shit by now, it reminds me of the "boy band" craze.

1. This is the freak that said he wanted to choke Michael Moore to death

on his old radio program...

[freexone]

2. he's an idiot...

I cannot believe that "The Most Trusted Name in News" gives him time on the air.

[gatorboy]

6. Isn't Bill Bennett also part of the CNN team?

So when are they gonna hire one of dem "liberal" talking heads that supposedly run the media? :eyes:

[TriSec]

3. They're national...

We get them in Boston, too.

Didya hear Chris and Stephanie ripping them during the show today? :guffaw:

[myrna minx]

4. His show is advertising on AAR Minnesota too.

:crazy:

[Epiphany4z]

5. yup

AAR streaming has them. They are on during Stephenie Miller also. You have to wonder who they think listing to AAR is going to want to listen Beck. =

[SteppingRazor]

7. I say as long as Beck and CNN want to hand money to AAR...

keep on putting out those commericials :shrug:

[MADem]

9. Absolutely! Ka-ching, ka-ching!

It also suggests that conservatives are listening to AAR, much the way some liberals listen to Lush Limpballs just to get their blood boiling!

[progdonkey]

15. yeah, talk about throwing your money away!

Ann Coulter might as well be advertising on DU!

:crazy:

[BrklynLiberal]

8. They are alll over AAR in NYC too. So damn annoying!!!!!!

Why the Hell are they advertizing such an ASSHOLE on Progressive Radio???

[Vexatious Ape]

10. We're getting the same in Atlanta too...

also a lot of commercials for the National Guard?????? But not for long. I just found out that the radio station that airs AAR has been sold and will not be broadcasting AAR anymore--except for the Al Frankin show. This is not sitting well with me at all.

11. i would wager CNN & Beck think its funny

and they just want to rub their money in the face of AAR's audience.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

12. I Said Same Thing On Monday

They started this week. I couldn't understand how they could get on an AA station, let alone one in L.A.

It might have to do with a contract they have with CNN, since it's a CNN show.

13. Ads Here In Seattle 's AAR Too

Never watch the television, but he sounds like a royal jerk. GAWD won't these people ever learn?

Cat In Seattle

[Wheres The Beef]

14. Some AAR stations carry CNN Radio News Service

Beck is on CNN Headline News. Part of the deal in radio is you get locals spots and the network gets national spots. It's all about the money, no money no radio station.
BTW National Guard spots are usually PSAs and not revenue producers.

16. His ads ARE obnoxious

In one that airs here:...he starts off by saying that Bush needs a better PR campaign... (I'm paraphrasing)....Roman Polanski..here's this guy who 'has' his pregnant wife killed by the Charles Manson murderers and then beds a 13 year old, then leaves the country. He still wins an Oscar. Now, that guy has a PR firm that should represent, Bush, to get those poll numbers up. He really tries to be hip and funny. Calls everyone sick, twisted, freaks...and those are the callers he likes. He's a Mormon, recovering alcoholic/drug addict, DJ, who is now making money hand over fist as a Bush/neocon propagandist. What an A-hole. edit typo

[devilgrrl]

21. Yeah they are obnoxious...

the one in LA has him wondering about "today's teen role models" and various other topics that most people couldn't give a rat's ass about. And what's with the right and this claim of having "common sense"? :wtf: is that?

[PA Democrat]

17. Those commercial are a hoot. He thinks that "Tom and Katie" are the

darlings of today's teens.

[zulchzulu]

18. His filthy ad is on Madison's AAR too

WTF...then again, it's an unClear Channel station.

[Chimichurri]

19. because there's an audience to go after except his

marketing drones think the AAR audience is as uninformed as right wingers are. I find it humorous that they're wasting money on an demographic who knows better.

[Blue Belle]

20. They run them on the Portland AAR station too...

It make me sick when I hear them. :eyes:
