Glenn Beck's "Vacation" Actually A Suspension

From C&L:

The boycott of Glenn Beck's show,led by the group Color of Change, has resulted in some 20 advertisers dropping sponsorship of his "show" on the Fox News Channel. Fox is feeling the heat and it now appears that Beck's vacation this week wasn't voluntary:

First on TVNewser: Tipsters inside Fox News tell us Glenn Beck's vacation this week from his Fox News show was not planned. We hear Beck was told to take this week off to let some of the heat surrounding him die down. That heat began July 28 on "Fox & Friends" when Beck said he thought Pres. Obama has "a deep-seated hatred for white people," adding, "This guy is, I believe, a racist."

A Fox News spokesperson denied our accounts and simply told us, "Glenn Beck will back on Monday." But several sources inside FNC confirm that this is a forced vacation.

Fox is denying Beck was forced to take the week off to let things cool down, but TV Newser is sticking to its story:

Update: Sources close to Beck have contacted TVNewser denying that this was a forced vacation. Beck's personal publicist Matthew Hiltzik forwarded us an email dated July 14th sent by Christopher Balfe, President & COO of Mercury Radio Arts and General Manager of Beck's radio show, addressed to Mercury Radio employees reading:

Glenn will be off of radio & TV the week of August 17th, returning to air August 24th.

Contrary to that, our tipsters tell us it was Beck himself who was telling Fox staffers last week that he was "forced to take the week off." Read on...

If the powers that be at Fox think that hiding Glenn Beck for a week is going to slow down the boycott against him, they are sorely mistaken. We'll be right here when Glenn gets back on Monday.

1. bech lies so anything he or his agents say

is suspect. He needs to sit it out a while and comtemplate his hate or will the threat of less money force him to drop his hate schtick?

[AspenRose]

2. Money talks....

you know the rest.

[Curtland1015]

3. So it's not so much a suspension as it is "hiding until the heats off".

I doubt anyone heading Fox News thinks Beck even said anything wrong...

[lame54]

5. if the decision was not Beck's - and I doubt it was-

but his boss's -it's a suspension

[progressoid]

17. Yeah, he'll be back.

He's too big of a cash cow for Fox to just dump. When the heat is off, he be back.

[NorVegan]

4. That's it!

No more Viagra!

[lame54]

6. 2 popsicle sticks and a piece of string work just as well...

providing popsicle is not one of his sponsors

[JBoy]

7. Need to find out where he's staying on vacation and boycott the hotel.

Hound him to the gates of hell.

[ingac70]

16. +1

:thumbsup:

[sellitman]

8. Money talks, Bullshit goes on vacation

Hope he stays there.

[deep1]

9. I have never even heard of Glenn Beck.....

until last February when he was still on CNN and salivating at releasing Rev Wright's video. Fox wouldn't fire any of their idiot talking pundits.

[jma10131]

10. HAHAHA!

HAHA, Glenn deserves it. His racist ass outta be fired.

[Better Today]

11. USPS!!! WTF, that seems extremely wrong.

[lame54]

12. what about national geographic

[dgibby]

15. It's true.

I've already e-mailed them and gotten a response. Basically, they buy air time, but are not responsible for where the networks chose to run the ads. I've gotten several responses from other companies, all saying the same thing. In order to get their ads pulled from a certain program, they have to request that the networks move them to a different program.

[reverend roy]

13. Well, Hallelujah

I'll drink to that.

[ingac70]

14. KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!!!!

[Union Yes]

18. By the grace of Mother Earth, may it be a permanent vacation.

[lame54]

19. call the sponsors and make it happen
