As with other advertisers, the StopBeck effort reached out to Helzberg Diamonds. We kindly requested that they follow the responsible action of hundreds of other former advertisers and refrain from advertising on Glenn Beck’s show.
In a statement sent to the StopBeck effort, Helzberg Diamonds advised that they were removing their ads from Glenn Beck’s show:
Thanks for raising the concern. We’ve reviewed the marketing schedule and made the decision to remove our commercials from that time slot. With commitments already made and to provide professional notice, this will go into effect next week. We appreciate your feedback and responsiveness.
Great work all!
Your tweets and emails do matter. Many thanks for your continued participation in this accountability effort.
Onward we go…

Two asides:
With the addition of Helzberg Diamonds, there are now 302 companies that refuse to advertise on Glenn Beck’s show.
November 9 marked nearly 9 months of no advertisers for the UK broadcast of Glenn Beck’s program.
Despite concerns expressed by their own sponsors, Fox News refuses to get the message. Fox News has yet to deliver accountability for Glenn Beck’s reckless vitriol and willful deceit. That is why I strongly suggest taking a look at and adding your name to Media Matters’ DropFox petition. I’m usually not a big fan of petitions, but I do believe the time is coming for even broader action. I mean, Murdoch practically said as much here.
