Think Progress:

UPS Announces It Will Stop Advertising On Bill O’Reilly’s Show

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.

Here’s a graphic of the email statement we received:

UPS Announces It Will Stop Advertising On The FactorUPS Statement (3/27/09)
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.

Susan Rosenberg, spokeswoman for UPS, previously issued this statement (3/26/09):
UPS values and takes seriously the comments from personal emailers and those posted on your site regarding advertising that appeared on Bill O’Reilly’s FOX News 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. Further investigation is underway related to this placement.

Thank you UPS! We need more corporate sponsors of O’Reilly to follow UPS’s lead. Let’s keep up the pressure. Please sign onto our campaign and tell your friends to do so as well:

Me: However, not ALL corporations are as eager to please the Marxists in this country, and are not too amused by their pressuring them:

Corporate Responses To O’Reilly Campaign:

Chrysler
3/28/09 statement:

We appreciate the diverse audience that television programming allows us to reach.
Chrysler buys network cable as a package but we currently do not have the O’Reilly Factor in our media rotation at this time.
Would you please have the members of ThinkProgress.org discontinue their emails to Chrysler.
Sincerely,
Carrie McElwee
Chrysler LLC

AT&T

AT&T continually evaluates our advertising efforts to make certain that we are reaching consumers in effective and meaningful ways. We also make every effort to ensure that the content of the programming on the stations and outlets on which we advertise is in keeping with our corporate values and philosophy.
– spokesman Michael Coe, 3/25/09

UPDATE: Mr. Coe from AT&T called on 3/25/09 to complain about our automated email campaign, saying it is “harassment.” ThinkProgress noted that if he thinks receiving e-mails is harassment, he will surely think that stalking and accosting a person on vacation is outrageous. Hopefully, AT&T and the other advertisers will use their influence over O’Reilly to urge him to end his practice of “ambush journalism.”

Me: and there are some trouser-dropping responses on the page from Capital One and Ford.

And then no Bill O’Reilly bashing story would be complete without the kid-in-the-class-that picks-his-ass-and-licks-his-fingers commentary:

    No surprise to see UPS and Ford on this list :

    Speaking of UPS check this out….

    April 30th in DC with the thousands if not tens of thousands of illegal immigration protestors. This annual event is sponsored by La Raza, the latino non-profit lobbying organization that receives FEDERAL funding and worked on the housing programs for immigrants to have homes, MEChA, LULAC,SEIU, and most left wing socialist movements in the U.S. . People are bussed in by the thousands , thanks to grants to these non profit organizations from tax dollars.
    Please look at the prior years of La Marchas around the country and either do a march on Washington before they do, or after. In Phoenix last year there were thousands marching in the streets, all carrying American flags that were dropped on the streets after the cameras stopped rolling. In Denver two years ago they took down the American flag and ran the Mexican flag above the American flag and had the American flag upside down.
    A large number of American citizens demanding that our country enforces the law and stop violating the Constitution there at the same time might start riots that would not be very pretty and for anyone bringing their family could be dangerous. The city will be filled with the bussed in protesters for next day and will already be overfilled to capacity. These groups have been planning this since last year and they are organized and I would think that hotel rooms and camp grounds will be full.
    I agree that the end result that we want is worth sacrifice and that time is critical but I have concerns on the date of April 30th in Washington.
    This is a link to information on last year’s march.

    Pat, Thinkprogress is an organization we need to focus on and bombard with an email campaign. With enough emails coming in they will find it hard to sort and read the really important ones.

  • uffy

    My suggestion is that you email all these companies and let them know you are boycotting them. Then email your boycotts to your friends and let them know why. Think Progress is a Maxist/leftist org that is totally worthless. They link up with Podesta and his whores and other Marxist orgs. They are disinformation specialists. In other words, they are LIARS and make no excuses for their lying. Unless you and your friends send mass boycott emailings, nothing will get done.

    Dear UPS

    Because of political reasons you have chosen NOT to advertise on the O’Reily show on Fox News.

    While I could give a damn about O’Reily, the fact that you have decided to get into bed with Communists, as head of our household I have decided to do business elsewhere whenever we have the choice.

    Better DEAD than BROWN (RED).

    I will let my ammo suppliers know.

    Sent my e-mail to UPS asking WTF.
