Still Pushing Gatorade

January 21, 2007

Gatorade remains an advertiser on Channel One News. The picture above comes from the Friday, January 19 show.

C1’s management continues to see no problem advertising this junk drink to preteens.

Obligation’s Jim Metrock said, "It seems fitting that one of the last regular advertisers on Channel One News is a product that adds needless calories to young people’s diets. For years, Channel One News made obscene amounts of money running ads for Snickers, Doritos, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Lays Potato Chips and Twinkies. For too long, Channel One placed their love of money over their concern for the health of their captive audience. And now, of course, they are paying for their sins – they are running out of money. Too bad."
