Fox News’ Glenn Beck Off the Air

HeadlineJul 01, 2011

Glenn Beck is off the air. Beck hosted his final TV show on Fox News Thursday. He now plans to launch his own internet broadcast. Beck was the target of a widespread advertising boycott organized by Color of Change and Media Matters. The boycott began after Beck made this comment about President Obama in 2009.

Glenn Beck: “This president, I think, has exposed himself as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture. I don’t know what it is, but you can’t sit in a pew with Jeremiah Wright for 20 years and not hear some of that stuff and not have it wash over.”
