Lowe’s knows.  Fascinating…

Spocko’s Brain: A Pervasive Branding Problem
The “Hardlines” newsletter, a Canadian trade periodical aimed at insiders in the lumber and building industry and edited by Michael McLarney, reports today in their “Companies in the News” section that Lowe’s (the large US hardware and home improvement store) is opening its first store in Brampton, Ontario, this year. It also reports that Lowe’s has pulled its advertising from “The O’Reilly Factor” because of comments made by Bill O’Reilly:

MOORESVILLE, N.C. - Lowe’s has pulled its advertising from Fox TVs O’Reilly Factor after its host suggested that a 15-year-old boy enjoyed the experience of being kidnapped by pedophile Mike Devlin.

Helen Thomas Earned Her Front Row Seat

February 16, 2007 · Filed under GOP Lame, Media, Pathetic

Fox News is shameless. With their new “comedy” news show clip getting thumbs down all over the net you would think they might lay low and lick their wounds. Noooooo. With Bill O’Reilly screeching about NBC turning “far left” and basically watched for the “laugh factor” he provides, you would think Fox News would buy a clue. Nooooooo. Fox wants to up the ante by knocking Helen Thomas out of the front row at the White House. Never mind that she is a national treasure.

Talk about attention for bad behavior. Fox News is not only stupid but now we can add mean. Pathetic.

Note: Does not apply to Gretta or Shep Smith 

‘Fox and Friends’ Discusses FNC Getting Helen Thomas’s Seat in White House Pressroom | NewsBusters.org
It’s safe to say that columnist Helen Thomas is not a favorite figure in the White House pressroom as far as conservatives are concerned. On Wednesday morning, the “Fox & Friends” crew discussed the revelation that the Fox News Channel has asked for a better seat during gaggles and pressers in the newly renovated pressroom once it’s completed, one in the front row in fact.

Co-host Steve Doocy mentioned that FNC and another cable outlet have asked for this privilege, but as the new design only includes one more front-row seat, Helen Thomas would have to be kicked out of her chair to accommodate both outlets.
