Home Depot and Lowes can Bite me

Corporate Hara-kiri

Ace is the place, - along with any other business not named Home Depot, or Lowes. “ Home Depot dumps O’Reilly. AMERICAblog reports that Home Depot has promised to no longer advertise on Bill O’Reilly’s website, after strong pressure for the company to drop its sponsorship. Fox Attacks releases a new film mocking Fox’s global warming denial. Watch it: ” This is like debating Bill Clinton, who manufactures his facts on the fly.  Here's more: Kos, Markos Moulitsas, of Dailykos.com, reports: “ A reader emailed Lowe's about their ads on O'Reilly's show. They got this response: Replied On 07/27/07 15:41:09 Dear Lowe's Customer, Thank you for your comments regarding the program, The O'Reilly Factor. Lowe's has strict guidelines that govern the placement of our advertising. Our company advertises primarily in national, network prime-time television programs and on a variety of cable outlets. Lowe's constantly reviews advertising buys to make certain they are consistent with its policy guidelines. The O'Reilly Factor does not meet Lowe's advertising guidelines, and the company's advertising will no longer appear during the program. We are dedicated to providing the best service, products, and shopping environment in the home improvement industry. All three of these are very important to our business, and our customers will always be our number one priority. We appreciate your contacting us, and hope this information addresses your concerns. Thank you, Lowe's Customer Care ” That, from Rob Kall, at a deal called OpEdNews.com,  goes on to further demonstrate the deranged nut root mentality which sees all criticisms of its ideas as heresy. “ My position on boycotts is not solidified. Ideally, advertisers should be able to advertise to reach as many customers as possible. But when they only support one partisan media message, that's a very big problem. The way to fix is for them to start spending at least equal amounts, if not more, initially, to make up for the previous imbalance, on media with opposing partisan viewpoints. If they won't do that, then it certainly makes sense to support companies that do take a stand and pull their advertising or just don't support the opposing media. ” Were I from Mars, or was a "moderate" voter, I'd be left with the distinct impression that Lowes and Home Depot only advertise on the O'Reilly Factor, eschewing all other networks who, by the way,  slow dance only with the global warming crowd.  I don't know what planet Kall is from, but he seems to have missed the fact that news on the global warming front over the past several months overwhelmingly contradicts the "science" being peddled by these Goreons, which, if nothing else makes their claim of having a consensus, moot.
