Think Progress » BREAKING: UPS Announces It Will Stop Advertising On Bill O’Reilly’s Show

"In response to our Stop Supporting The O’Reilly Harassment Machine campaign, UPS told us yesterday that it was investigating whether to continue supporting O’Reilly’s show. “We are sensitive to the type of television programming where our messages and presence are associated and continually review choices to affect future decisions,” spokeswoman Susan Rosenberg told us.

Today UPS announced it will stop advertising on O’Reilly’s show. Here is the statement UPS emailed out just moments ago:

Thank you for sending an e-mail expressing concern about UPS advertising during the Bill O’Reilly show on FOX News. We do consider such comments as we review ad placement decisions which involve a variety of news, entertainment and sports programming. At this time, we have no plans to continue advertising during this show."

At least the Messiah can operate one correctly.

Funny. Only links I see regarding this are crap "sources" like ThinkProgress.
Nothing on the UPS website.

Like this 'credible' source?

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Video: We’ve got your “credible” right here, Rep. Nadler

I can understand if it was posted under Politics vs News. But then again, when one has the comprehension level of a third grader......

Meh, seems like the kind of 'harassment' that news entertainment programs do all the time (or at least what I remember them doing).

Think Progress » More than 10,000 of you have stood up to Bill O’Reilly.

"Since the launch of our Stop Supporting The O’Reilly Harassment Machine campaign on Wednesday afternoon, more than 10,000 of you have taken action. Thank you for all your support! In just two days, here are all the successes we’ve had:

– UPS announced it will no longer advertise on The Factor

– Capital One expressed “regret” for O’Reilly’s insensitivity and explained that it does not endorse his views.

– A Ford spokesman candidly told us that he agreed with us about the “rantings of the hopelessly pig-headed Mr. O’Reilly.” (Ford then clarified that the statement did not speak for the company.)

– AT&T said it makes “every effort” to ensure their advertisers are in keeping with the company’s “corporate values and philosophy,” but it would not say whether O’Reilly’s show was in keeping with that philosophy.

– Bill O’Reilly lashed out at us, calling us “insects.”

– Amanda appeared on MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann to discuss the campaign.

Let’s urge more companies to follow the lead of UPS. Please join our campaign.

From just the text of UPS's response, I don't know that there is any real news here - it just looks like a standard response to complaints, using fairly ambiguous language. I don't now if they had planned to do on-going advertising on Bill's show, so I don't know if there is anything of import in their response. It merely says, "At this time, we have no plans to continue advertising during this show", which doesn't necessarily mean what this site tries to make it out to mean (i.e. that they are stopping as a result of these complaints).

It seems like a lot of people intentionally use words to be misleading these days - and that may well be the case here. Of course, it may not.
