Lowe's drops advertising from The O'Reilly factor
Reported by Chrish - January 30, 2007 -

We've received a number of gmails from readers who wrote to the advertising contacts listed for the O'Reilly Factor on the day he so callously insulted Shawn Hornbeck and his family, informing us that they have heard from Lowe's. Several News Hounds who also sent letters confirm they too have received this or similar letter from Lowe's:

"Thank you for taking the time to share with us your concerns regarding our recent advertising on the FOX network. We appreciate your feedback and want you to know that we take your comments quite seriously.

Effective January 25, we have pulled Lowe’s advertising from the O’Reilly Factor program.

Please accept this letter as a sincere apology from Lowe’s and reassurance of Lowe’s commitment to you, our valued customer. If Lowe’s can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to write or call us. We encourage you to continue to share your comments and feedback, whenever you think it would be appropriate."


Pat yourselves on the back for making a difference!

3. That's the only kind of pain that piece of shit knows, money pain. He has no conscience.

4. I've always favored Lowes over Home Depot.

Need to order a new Storm Door. Think I'll do that this week. My tiny contribution. :-)
