Apple joins Fox News Boycott and Glenn Beck Hate

Sure, this might seem like another piece of Apple news, but there’s more to it. Apple has joined in a boycott of Fox News Networks advertising along with over 200 other companies.

The reason? Some really brash statements by the networks own Glenn Beck. He went as far as calling President Obama a racist and calling progressivism a “cancer”. That’s pretty brash and quite rude, really. Because of the boycott, Fox has had a hard time selling the space for advertisements, instead dealing with small firms such as 1-800-PetMeds. They’ve also had to sell at a lower rate because the network is not in favorable demand now.

Even with Fox’s gigantic viewership, Apple and many companies are boldly stating their either don’t need Fox’s network, or at the very least, don’t want to have their ads shown on a network in which they don’t agree with the opinions of one of it’s pundits.
