GMAC Financial Services & Wal-Mart Pull Advertising from the Glenn Beck Show

Another one bites the dust. GMAC Financial Services and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. have "ceased" advertising on the Glenn Beck show. At least that's the word from GMAC Financial Services' spokesperson Sue Mallino, who spoke with Media Matters. Though she would not comment on whether the move was made in response to Beck's claim that President Obama is a "racist," an allegation that sparked a grassroots campaign by ColorofChange.org to get advertisers to stop supporting Beck's program. 

ColorofChange is also reporting that, in addition to Wal-Mart, Best Buy, CVS, Travelocity, Allergan (maker of Restasis), Ally Bank, Broadview Security, and Re-Bath have also pulled their advertisements on the show.

GMAC Financial Services joins a growing list of advertisers who have recently opted not to advertise Beck's television show. The list includes ConAgra, Roche, Sanofi-Aventis, RadioShack, Men’s Wearhouse, State Farm, Sargento, LexisNexis-owned Lawyers.com, Procter & Gamble, and Progressive Insurance.
