Money talks

Money talks. In politics, the big guys with the money and their lobbyists. Right now it's the drug companies, insurance companies, and for-profit hospital chains who have bought off congress and killed the public option plan that was the only hope of a reform bill that might actually reduce the costs. Sure, the right wing crazies are scaring the people; but the money guys already had it sewed up in congress.

Well, maybe two can play the game. Another eight corporate sponsors have joined the ten others who have pulled their tv ads from running during the Glenn Beck Show.

Will that get results? Does FOX care? TV producers are usually very responsive to public opinion for fear that advertisers will bail out. What's taking them so long to pull the plug on Beck?

I guess it must be his viewer ratings remain high, and they figure the ads will come back or be replaced by others that don't care.
