Fight for Glenn Beck Gains Momentum--including Oprah!

See for yourself.

As Horace Cooper notes, plenty of companies were eager to fill the ad slots, including The Wall Street Journal, DirecTV, Honda, and Oprah Winfrey's Oxygen Channel.

The always incisive media writer/blogger Jeff Bercovici adds some valuable perspective at Daily Finance:

The idea that Fox News chief Roger Ailes or his boss, Rupert Murdoch, knuckle under and toss Beck is the purest fantasy. Beck has been a ratings hit for Fox from day one, giving the network a big boost over its previous performance in the 5 p.m. timeslot. His antics might make some sponsors uncomfortable, but, as a Fox spokeswoman told The New York Times, those marketers haven't actually canceled their ad buys; they've merely asked that their spots run during other programming -- and only until this brouhaha quiets down, most likely.
