Hilarious... Who on earth runs the marketing dept. for these companies? Nobody with a brain, that’s for sure. The odds of a boycott ever working are somewhere between nada and zilch.... in fact, boycotts almost always backfire and fail miserably and I suspect that it will really backfire in this case for one primary reason... Hannity has a big soapbox. As Exhibit A to study for this failure mechanism, go back sand look what happened in a similar situation with the great El Rushbo... What it will do is make sure that people who otherwise wouldn’t watch Hannity will do so where they can hear all about it... and they go back and watch the original segment and if they did that, they would find that Hannity was beyond fair with Moore. That can’t help but turn them against the advertisers. In the meantime, Hannity’s numbers will continue to rise and that brings in more (and better advertisers)....and leaves the departed ones in the dust. Investment advice here.... start shorting the stocks of Keurig and the other companies who curtained advertising on Hannity.

Well, actually I see that Keurig is now owned by JAB Holding Company.... http://investor.keuriggreenmountain.com/ ..... From 2006 to 2014 Keurig, Inc. was a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. When Green Mountain Coffee Roasters changed its name to Keurig Green Mountain in March 2014, Keurig ceased to be a separate business unit and subsidiary, and instead became Keurig Green Mountain's main brand.[1][2][3] In 2016 Keurig Green Mountain was acquired by an investor group led by private-equity firm JAB Holding Company for nearly $14 billion

Corporate marketing departments are dominated by females under 30 who obtained degrees from Leftist university brain-washing factories. Five negative tweets and they go running to their bosses screaming "The Sky is Falling!!!"
