Joe Scarborough Tries to Scare Off Fox News Sponsors

Is it ethical for one network to try to scare off a competitor's sponsors? The question arises because MSNBC's Joe Scarborough sought today to scare off Fox News sponsors. At the beginning of today's Morning Joe, Scarborough, speaking of Fox News, said:

"We’ll worry about our channel and let them worry about their channel."

But Scarborough soon went back on his word. Just moments later, he actively tried to warn sponsors away from Fox News, saying:

"Fox News had someone I know, a former leader of the Republican Party, saying that Democrats wanted—and I’m using his words here—Democrats wanted to, quote, exterminate, exterminate all Republicans.

"Let me say that again for Fox News sponsors. To let you know. For Fox News sponsors, to let you know what’s happening now on Fox News.

Meh, Joe and Mika are retarded, and now they are struggling to find an object for their hate, now that Trump is gone.

Heck, I hate FNC too, for different reasons.

Something along those lines, though probably hard to prove and not worth FNC’s time.

But certainly seems seedy/borderline unethical, on Scarborough’s part.
