So Long to JetBlue-Caves to O’Reilly

By John on Jul 22, 2007 filed in Politics, Travel

JetBlue sponsored, among many other things, YearlyKos. This is a grass roots convention of progressive bloggers and activists. JetBlue shows Fox News in flight, Their new CEO contributed $2,100 to Mitt Romney’s campaign, and they advertise on Fox.

Yet when Bill O’Reilly finds they sponsored a progressive convention, he attacks…so JetBlue. And instead of standing up for their sponsorship, and pointing out how much they support Fox, they cave in and have their logo removed from the YearKos website.

I like JetBlue, and wrote them a letter supporting them for their sponsorship. Now that I’ve seen this example of corporate cowardice, I don’t expect to be flying them any time soon.
