Red Lobster Caves to Left-Wing Blacklist Campaign, Pulls Ads from Tucker Carlson’s Show
Breitbart ^ | January 8, 2019 | Justin Caruso

Posted on 01/08/2019 7:10:03 PM PST by lowbridge

Restaurant chain Red Lobster is the latest company to cave to pressure from the far-left blacklisting campaign against Tucker Carlson, announcing Tuesday that they would no long advertise on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight.

The Wrap reports that Red Lobster confirmed their removal of ads from Tucker Carlson’s prime time show, saying in a statement, “Red Lobster’s advertising buying guidelines reflect our core values and commitment to supporting programming that represents the highest standards of good taste, fair practice and objectivity.”

“We reserve the right to make changes to our purchases when the dialogue is no longer in line with our criteria.”

When reached for comment, a Fox News spokesperson referred Breitbart News to a previous statement. The statement reads:

We cannot and will not allow voices like Tucker Carlson to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts from the likes of Moveon.org, Media Matters and Sleeping Giants. Attempts were made last month to bully and terrorize Tucker and his family at their home. He is now once again being threatened via Twitter by far left activist groups with deeply political motives. While we do not advocate boycotts, these same groups never target other broadcasters and operate under a grossly hypocritical double standard given their intolerance to all opposing points of view.

I lived on the Alabama gulf coast for 40 years.

I don’t do Red Lobster.

Rush tracked down the few bot sites targeting his advertisers and showed it was just a few people trying to silence him. He said these same few people are the ones trying to shut down Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity.

I used to love Red Lobster. Tried to have a meal there every time I went ‘to the big city’.. The last two meals there were horrible food with poor service, so I no longer patronize them. They wont notice that I now am boycotting them for ‘political reasons.

..... Instead of always complaining about the tactics of the left ..... We should be more proactive ...... Time to shut down these "Bot Sites" and prevent their re-emergence .... I am sure there are some Tech Whizes out there that can do this .... And legal Beagles that can take them down .....

“commitment to supporting programming that represents the highest standards of good taste, fair practice and objectivity.”

Heard that and he has refrained to name the culprit(s)responsible for those efforts in the past, but today he mentioned one name— “a Matt Osborne.” Did you hear that? Rush has decided there are no repercussions to that evidently.

Fox will run Tucker without commercials if they have to.

Every Red Lobster I’ve been in over the years are old and filthy. Haven’t been to one in a long while.

Red Slobster is no better than Long John Silver’s. And LJS is a whole lot cheaper.

Rush should name them.

Then some concerned citizens should dox them.

Any fresh water catch is way better if one lives away from a saltwater coast.

Let the home grill rule....

Processed food, pre cooked and microwavable. Go to your local coastal restaurants, they’d have better, fresher food. However do expect to have some that comes to them frozen from processing ships.
