 Guinness Poster<http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Guinness-toucan-Posters323.gif>Yesterday, ThinkProgress noted that British supermarket Waitrose had dropped all its advertising from Fox News<http://thinkprogress.org/2009/10/05/uk-supermarket-beck/> in the UK after customer complaints about Glenn Beck. Today, Color of Change is announcing that 19 more advertisers - including Waitrose - have dumped Beck. That number includes multinational drinks company Diageo<http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/diageo-ends-link-with-us-tv-host-but-tesco-stays-1798270.html> (the maker of Guinness and Johnnie Walker, among others), which has also pulled its advertising from all of Fox News in the UK. Here are some of the responses<http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2009/10/19-more-advertisers-ditch-glenn-beck/> Color of Change received from Beck's advertisers:

"We are appalled at what's going on. Metropolitan Talent Management is 100% dedicated to not buy advertising on any part of Fox News." - Metropolitan Talent Management

- "We're no longer going to book any of his air time. I'm really glad to be informed of what you guys are doing." - Overture Films

- "The Seoul government has no plan to extend, resume, or add its commercial on the program. In other word [sic], there will not be Seoul commercial in the Glenn Beck program any more." - Seoul Metropolitan Government

- "You will not see Flexitol commercials on the Glenn Beck show. Period." - Eulactol USA, makers of Flexitol

Eighty companies have now distanced themselves from Beck since Color of Change launched its boycott in in August. Help hold Beck accountable here<http://colorofchange.org/beck/hold/>.
