I refuse on principle to watch Faux, so firsthand knowledge is pretty much out of the question; but I want to do my small bit.</p> Spocko, is there some place where I can find a list of those advertisers who still haven’t abandoned Beck?

Hopefully, it was the advertiser boycott that did it - but whatever. My prediction: he’s gone.</p> What is clear is that the powers have decided that Beck is going down.

But we’re still never going to get rid of Beck. If BillO could survive the Andrea Mackris lawsuit and never even come *close* to getting fired, Beck would have to eat at least five babies on live TV to lose his job.</p> Works for me.

This is the kind of stories that the OTHER media can cover. “FOX loses money on every show, expects to make in up in volume.”

Each time someone tells me how a company like Fox will play an event I can tell them how to play it the opposite and how to use it to your advantage.

But of course I’m just a brain in a box, what do I know.

I also don’t think Fox is willing to give in on this, no matter how much it hurts. They’re not Democrats, after all.
