"CVS Pharmacy" doesn't like Glenn Beck or the Truth

A short, direct and polite e-mail sent to CVS Pharmacies

I would like to inform you that until you restore your ads with Glenn Beck on Fox news channel. You will no longer receive business from myself or my family or friends.
Thank you for providing me with a forum to respond to your press release. Walgreens is right next door.

In a letter received from CVS pharmacy Diversity trumps free speech. Their core values never mention truth, honesty or freedom of speech. Has "diversity" become code for supports racist groups?

Dear Rob Fraley:

Thank you very much for your communication about our decision regarding advertising on the Glenn Beck show.

Our position is simple and was not driven by taking sides in any political debate. We support free speech of all kinds, and vigorous debate, especially around policy issues that affect millions of Americans. But we expect the speech and the debate to be informed, inclusive and respectful, in keeping with our company's core values and commitment to diversity. In our view, Mr. Beck crossed the line.

While advertising on the Fox network is part of our communication plan, we had not requested time on Glenn Beck's show specifically. We have instructed our advertising agency to inform Fox to ensure Glenn Beck's program is not part of our advertising plan.

We're sorry you are unhappy about our decision. Nonetheless, we must continue to be true to our core values - accountability, respect, integrity, openness and teamwork.

Thank you again for your email.

Sincerely,

Diane
