Fox News’ Sean Hannity has been losing advertisers thanks to a targeted campaign by the far-left Clinton-supporting attack dog Media Matters. Two days ago they published a full list of Hannity’s television advertisers, encouraging their readers to take action and contact those advertisers.
Thus far, the advertisers who’ve dropped out include Cars.com, Casper, Crowne Plaza, Leesa Sleep, Peloton, and Ring.com.
The names of those mentioned above who’ve already dropped advertising on Hannity aren’t exactly big names – but the latest to drop out is turning heads. The odd-one-out on the list of advertisers who’ve dropped out of advertising on Hannity’s show is USAA, a company founded by Army veterans almost 100 years ago that caters their services towards military families.
Bizarrely, they tried to claim that the reason they stopped advertising is because they don’t advertise on opinion shows.
And as you’d expect, ceasing to advertise on someone as pro-military and dedicated to veterans as Hannity isn’t boding well among USAA’s target demographic.

The hashtag #BoycottUSAA is exploding on Twitter. Sean Hannity will be returning to his Fox show after an extended weekend thanks to Memorial Day, but will USAA be returning as well?
They can claim that they’re pulling their advertisements because they don’t advertise on opinion shows – but it’s not just the timing in question. Turn on MSNBC and you’ll find USAA advertising there.

Amerprise available through COSTCO has excellent customer service, very competitive pricing.
I posted somewhere else that I just pulled 100 grand from their mutual funds.
Looking for other insurance companies, currently with Farmers. Thought of going with USAA. A mistake?
Thank you, RightGuy and Ladysforest for your suggestions. I will check them out.
Well, they are not nearly as competitive (across the board) as they were in the past. I remember when they couldn’t be beat! I did thousands of quotes for USAA customers, and we were lower about 5% of the time.
Their service is not done in house for the most part either - which is a pain.
I wouldn’t say to avoid them - if they quote you a very good rate, but they have become quite “socially conscious”, PC. That and the downturn in quality of service is troubling.
We won’t hesitate to jump ship, they have lost our loyalty. Our rate has jumped every year in spite of no violations and only one small claim - paid by the at fault woman who hit my husbands car in a parking lot.
From a thread yesterday: “Thank you for reaching out to us. Advertising on opinion shows is not in accordance with our policy and we’ve since corrected it.” That’s fascinating, since even last night, USAA advertised on Hardball on MSNBC, and how does the Chris Matthews record on helping military families match next to Hannity’s?
