NEW YORK (AP) -- A liberal advocacy group that targeted Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly for advertiser boycotts in the past now has its sights set on Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity.

Media Matters for America said Friday it will begin asking Hannity's advertisers to shun him and will ask thousands of its members to also contact companies. The group is setting up a stophannity.com website and plans to hire a plane to carry an anti-Hannity banner in the New York area.

His Fox show "really has moved beyond just being a conservative viewpoint to state-aligned disinformation and propaganda," said Angelo Carusone, Media Matters president. "If we don't do it now, Hannity will only get worse."

Hannity is relentlessly going after the Deep State and these traitors don’t like it one bit.

How does Media Matters maintain a 501(c)3 tax designation—what charitable work are they doing?

Some lefty group/s have already tried this stunt and it went NOWHERE very fast and not only that, but the “Military Insurance” firm that pulled out, jumped back in and advertises ad nauseum on FX and when Hannity is on.

Most of these advertisers know by now they will lose more business by dropping Hannity, unless they are really stupid.

Sean has been a real bulldog exposing all the vile creatures in the swamp, and a staunch supporter of Trump.

He deserves our utmost support. We need to let the powers that be at FoxNews that we would pull the plug on them if they don’t rally behind Sean.

Easy. Any outfit that boycotts Hannity gets boycotted by Trump supporters, all 60 million of us. They might want to check what happened to Macy's and Target.

They tried this crap a few months ago on Hannity and it blew up in their faces - especially after counter boycotts hit their heroes over at PMSNBC and Communist

“ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, PBS, CNBC, et all really have moved beyond just being a liberal viewpoint to state-aligned disinformation and propaganda,” said Angelo Carusone, Media Matters president.

The Deep State is going after anyone defending President Trump.

That way they can perform their Coup. They know they can not do it with Hannity on the air.

Anyone who is Pro President Trump they are targeting. That’s why Bill O’Reilly was removed. It’s why they are targeting Eric Boiling too.

Gotta admit I hadn’t watched Hannity in years, as he was nothing more than a cheerleader for America and American values which is fine.

However, I always desired to learn from hosts and over the years Levin, Savage(sometimes crazy), Degeneva, Dobbs, Loesch(Smoking Hot), Malkin(Hot too), Elder, Cain(Makes me want eat a food I abhore, Pizza), Lars, Wilcow, Steyn and so many others deliver intellectual, historical and theory education.

Now being a last man standing at Fox, Sean has become hard hitting with deeper and broader information I find interesting.

All tbe best and hope he continues down this road for some time to come.

Boycott him.

I’ll buy from advertisers of his program.

Case in point; When that prick leader of Carbonite came out against Rush, I simply purchased their competitor Mozy and have now switched to Idrive.

Media Matters = Hillary. But where oh where do they get their funding? It’s not all from Soros. How many useful idiot social justice fascists are drawing money from groups outside the US who are focused on destabilizing the US?

Can someone give us some information on Angelo Carusone, the Media Matters President? Never heard of this person. Just wonder how long he has been an American citizen or is he? How about some information on these people, folks. Can we even get such information? I would like to know who provides for his job and income. Does that come from within the US or without? Since he is going after Sean Hannity, we need to know.
