After facing a backlash for pulling advertisements from Fox News’ host Sean Hannity’s show, USAA will no longer run ads on liberal MSNBC host Rachel Maddow’s show.
The insurance company originally claimed that it would no longer run ads on “Hannity” because of a company policy against airing ads on “opinion shows.” The Media Research Center then revealed that the company had placed ads on MSNBC shows hosted by Maddow, Chris Hayes and Lawrence O’Donnell, all of whom present the news from a liberal viewpoint.

USAA told ABC News that it aired ads on the three shows by accident, and will take steps to ensure that that doesn’t happen again in the future. That announcement followed USAA members flooding the company’s Facebook page with angry comments. Many commenters said they would take their business elsewhere in retaliation for MSNBC pulling the ads.

Way. To. Go. America!!!
Ping...
I’m a USAA member...I blasted them in their forum.
Good for you!!! We can take our Country back if we all ban together!!!
So, where are they going to go with the 10s of followers. NPR? CNN?
And the believers said, "Amen."

This will hurt MadCow much more than Hannity. Love it.
Although I find such actions...distasteful...it appears we need to start fighting liberals commentators on the terms they have set for us. Start putting them out of business by going after the advertisers. Call it political commentator Mutually Assured Destruction....
USAA is done.
Lesson to be learned: Don’t mess with patriots. We stick together.
THEY JUST ####ED THEMSELVES INTO A CORNER.
Now they CAN’T reach millions of folks on these shows.

In my e-mail exchanges with them, I pointed out that they were not consistent with their stated excuse and they responded that they were reviewing their other ads.
They only pulled their ads from MSNBC because we caught them lying.
At 54.22 now.
WE are FINALLY fighting back using the Dem tactics FINALLY, I hope USAA suffers for this!!! God Bless ALL patriots for standing their ground and going after the LSM!!!! MAGA!!!!!
Had no idea USAA had a forum.
Do you have a link? Been a member 20+ years and I have an opinion to voice...just before I transfer funds next week.
Thanks.
Good news. Do they advertise on the late night shows flowing with DTS hatred.
Late-Night Trump Hatred vs. Primetime News
by ROGER ARONOFF May 26, 2017
The anti-Trump venom from the mainstream media has become so virulent that broadcasters and reporters alike risk becoming little more than extensions of the late-night “comedic” lineup, bashing the President without regard for truth or factual accuracy. And above all, most of these journalists realize, and sometimes admit, that they want to help the Democrats win the next election.
The comparison between late night show hosts and the news media becomes stark when one compares Joy Reid’s new segment on MSNBC, “Flip This House,” to Bill Maher’s “Flip A District” on HBO in the run-up to the 2014 elections. The goal for both of them was to try to help Democrats win elections, with Maher admitting on his website that he was “outright meddling with the political process.”
“The 2018 midterm elections are still more than a year away, but the Democrats are already hoping to flip this house,” said Reid on her show, telling Democratic candidate Linda Weber, “So we will be paying attention to that race, and we will see if you can flip that House district.”
This comes very close to an endorsement. Has Reid or MSNBC registered as a Super PAC? Isn’t this an example of a corporation, Comcast, making significant donations to a political party?
Excerpted. Go to link below for the full story.

USAA is a big organization so I doubt that they are finished. They are headquartered here in San Antonio and employ thousands. That being said I am pretty sure that the next board meeting will be a screaming, head rolling, git-yer-$hit-together series of a$$ chewings by the board members towards the folks responsible for the USAA advertising programs. IMO the main theme of the lectures will be reminding the suits in advertising that the bulk of the folks that use USAA products are in the military or are military families most of whom are conservative leaning, real Americans.
I know any organization can get infected with liberals but it is an infestation that has a remedy - a pink slip. I would bet that several have already been handed out and other corrective actions have begun. This action involving ‘Butch’ Maddow and MSNBC is most likely one of these actions. The man on the street will not hear too much about this but internally the message will be loud and clear.
I’m a little disappointed to hear that they would even advertise on The Rachel Maddow Show in the first place.
Doesn’t matter if they’re trying to hit a target market that show is un-American.
I used their contact us link on the website.
