Original message
So, Beck loses the majority of his advertisers, but Fox takes no action.
Heck, he even got a cover story from Time. What's the message here? This isn't any sort of "journalism," or even sound programming. He's got a few million viewers, but advertisers don't want to be associated with his hate-speech. Yet for some reason, Fox doesn't reprimand him in any way, it simply subsidized his show sans advertisers.
That, people, should tell you everything you need to know about Fox and its agenda.

11. How does one make a profit in TV without advertisers?
Explain, please. I don't get it...it costs money to produce and air the show. If no one is supporting it through advertising, how can it possibly make a profit?
The point being, again, that Fox is willing to LOSE MONEY on Beck if it helps their cause. It tells you everything you need to know about their agenda...they're just pumping up the hate speech.

13. Where did I say that he is losing ad revenue? I said he is losing advertisers. By the boatload. Nearly 40 last I heard. Now, I supposed it doesn't necessarily mean he is losing revenue, but it stands to reason that if he loses 40 major advertisers, the program would be losing ad revenue, too. He could have a brazillion viewers, but if no one is sponsoring his show it will NOT make money. That's how TV works.

18. Actually, I don't watch ANYTHING on Fox.
Nothing at all.
One has to remember Pedro Picasso is the poster child for television.
His eyeballs got permanently glued to the screen when he was still a little lad, growing up in some Levittown development down in Florida.
Everything, all, that Pedro Picasso knows, comes from television.
And it shows.
If Pedro Picasso doesn't watch Fox, franksolich doesn't piss.
Yeah, right.

That's the first I've heard of Levittown used by someone who wasn't from the north east US.
Levittowns have an interesting history.
I of course have been to the northeastern states too many times to count, but I've never seen a Levittown. It's on the list of priorities for the next time I go, though.
I think that having grown up in a Levittown, but down in Florida, was an important part in the evolution of the psychology and sociology of Pedro Picasso, an exemplar of the 1960s in television-dominated suburban America.
