A major liberal group is targeting advertisers for Sean Hannity's Fox News show as they look to push back against his promotion of a conspiracy theory surrounding a killed Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer.
Media watchdog group Media Matters For America on Tuesday published a list of Hannity's advertisers — a long list that includes major companies such as Allstate, Angie's List, Bayer, Capitol One, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Mercedes-Benz and Publishers Clearing House
While the list was published with little context, it comes as Media Matters continues to blast Hannity for claiming, without evidence, that Seth Rich leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks and suggesting that Democratic campaigns or groups were behind his killing.
The accusations about Rich's death have been part of Hannity's show and Twitter feed for days. On Twitter, he's accused Democrats of scrambling to cover up proof and promoted a number of people siding with his theory.
Hannity has drawn more recent scrutiny for promoting Kim Dotcom, a disgraced internet entrepreneur in New Zealand facing extradition to the U.S. on a slew of financial charges. Dotcom claims he can prove Rich's ties to WikiLeaks.
Critics have bristled at Hannity's decision to double down on the theory without any hard evidence, and Rich's brother asked Fox to cancel the interview in a letter obtained by CNN.
ns or groups were behind his killing.
The group helped to spearhead a push to put pressure on former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's advertisers last month after reports that he had been accused of sexual harassment repeatedly. That pressure campaign ultimately led to O'Reilly's departure from the network

Of course no republicans will defend him.
If they aren’t, I am already doing it on twitter.
“Russia hacked the election” is the crazy, baseless conspiracy theory here.
Seth Rich is an unsolved murder case. It’s no “conspiracy theory” that the guy did IT work for the DNC and is now pushing up daisies.
It’s hilarious to see a liberal group blasting someone for claiming something without evidence...*ROFL*
By the way, Rich was murdered.
Holy crap Mercedes sponsored Sean?! I’m going to go buy an AMG GTS now!
Means only one thing - Hannity is getting close to the truth.....
So the murderers are going after the man’s advertisers now???
So where is the new temporary FBI head. Sounds like there is a Ethiopian in the fuel supply.
Journalism is going asymmetrical. The thugs won’t have advertisers to target.
This video interview begins to explain how globalists 'used the noose' to seize his wealth through American courts.
Then consider the potential that this surveillance was ordered under FISA warrant. This collected data may have included the communication between Panda and Kimdotcom. If so, it's possible authorities involved unveiled "Panda" as Seth Rich. If - and that's a big 'IF'- kimdotcom was surveilled under FISA, then a paper trail must exist.
Kimdotcom is no fool and has a hefty stake in this (million$ of his personal/business wealth has been seized by American courts currently litigating his case) which some may not be aware of (again go read his white paper). I tend to believe he holds the ace up his sleeve.
After the revelation that Donna Brazille got involved after Seth Rich’s family hired a detective, I am more convinced that something is shady here.
There is ZERO reason for the DC Police to contact Brazille after the detective told the DC Police that he was investigating the case.
The DC Police never called the investigator back, but instead, contacted Brazille who called the Rich family to ask why did they hire a private investigator.
They are getting desperate..................
Methinks they doth protest too much.
you mean the Murdoch metrosexual brothers or the DNC? (maybe both!)
Flak is heavy - Hannity is definitely in the target area.
Why do you think the socialist globalists fabricated the rape charges against Julian Assange?
The left destroys anyone who stands in their way.
