Company on Decision to Pull Ads from Beck TV Show: 'We Do Not Want to be Associated with Hateful Speech' | NewsBusters.org

Company on Decision to Pull Ads from Beck TV Show: 'We Do Not Want to be Associated with Hateful Speech' | NewsBusters.org: "I'm writing to inform you that for the duration of your boycott of Glenn Beck I will not [use your product]. You may feel that bowing to the pressure from ideological groups opposed to this personality is courageous, or you may agree with the ideological groups in part or in whole- but in either circumstance your actions only serve to infer a belief that free speech in the United States is reserved only for the political left. I disagree in toto with your actions. Please reconsider your cowardly act.

Sincerely,

Bob Keyser

Today, I received the following response:

'Dear Mr. Keyser,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Some media reports have created the incorrect impression that Progressive pulled the advertising in response to specific comments made on a show, but that is not the case. We did not buy advertising for the Glenn Beck Program, so when we learned that our ad had aired during the show, we corrected the error. I hope this clarifies the situation.

Sincerely,

Mary O., Progressive Internet Representative'"
