Conservative activists decided to turn the tables on liberals and target advertisers of popular MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.
Following a Media Matters campaign that led to an advertiser boycott of Fox News host Sean Hannity, the Media Research Center (MRC) and Media Equalizer countered with a campaign against the liberal Maddow.
Media Matters published the list of Hannity’s advertisers to pressure the host after he raised suspicions about the murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich that critics panned as conspiracy theory. Hannity lost over a handful of advertisers after the list was posted.
Media Equalizer returned the favor Tuesday and published the list of Maddow’s advertisers.
“To counteract these fascistic tactics, #StoptheScalpings has decided to fight fire with fire. As long as Media Matters continues to attack conservatives, we will return them the same kindness,” Melanie Morgan writes at the Media Equalizer.
In a statement Wednesday, MRC founder Brent Bozell tweeted that his group is monitoring news shows and will put “media’s advertisers on notice” if they perceive attempts at a liberal “smear” campaign.
“The radical left’s efforts to silence conservative media by targeting their advertisers in therewith coordinated smear campaigns has gone unanswered, and today is the day the conservative movement fights back,” Bozell wrote in a statement.

So who are the advertisers ?
Let the boycott begin.
Difference is conservatives actually have people who spend money, unlike the rats who use bots to give the appearance they have numbers.
‘bout time.
Companies like Progressive Insurance don’t care - they are about as radical left wing as a company can get. I’m surprised “Flo” hasn’t been photographed with a severed Trump head.

Looks like I do no business with any of them. Have to ask the wife if one of our CCs is Chase, but clear beyond that.
We should disregard those advertisers who also support conservative shows. That sort of a list would be beneficial. For instance I see Liberty Mutual - they are continuously (ad nauseam) on Fox as well.
I heard Rachel Maddow compare the Trump sons with Uday and Kusay Hussein.
Unforgivable!
I will gladly support the boycott of this witch’s sponsors.
I understand your point but don't care. Tell them to get their stuff off the left wing hate shows or suffer the consequences.
Exactly... the right should fight by not owing anyone money as the banks are all leftist... not paying full price for movies ... as hollywood is leftist, tithing through their church and starving the beast in Washington (your church tithes are tax deductible)...if over half the spending in the economy is redirected to only right of center companies... then we start being heard and this nonsense stops.
Quit buying starbucks, quit using facebook, quit using google for your searches... you are funding the enemy.
