Beck's ratings are falling, advertisers are hard to get on any show he is on....FOX brought Beck to a wider audience but Beck is about Beck. From the article: his television ratings have declined sharply — perhaps another factor in the network’s impatience. His show now averages two million viewers, down from a high of 2.8 million in 2009, according to the Nielsen Ratings. And as of Sept. 21, 296 advertisers have asked that their commercials not be shown on Beck’s show (up from 26 in August 2009). Fox also has a difficult time selling ads on “The O’Reilly Factor” and “Fox and Friends” when Beck appears on those shows as a guest. Beck’s show is known in the TV sales world as “empty calories,” meaning he draws great ratings but is toxic for ad sales.

Isn’t the difficulty getting ads because of the communists who threaten the advertisers...who are chicken about being boycottted for advertising on Beck’s show?
