USAA says it will reinstate ads on ‘Hannity’ [winning!]
AP ^ | 5/30/17

The USAA financial services firm says it is reinstating its advertising on Sean Hannity’s Fox News Channel program after receiving heavy criticism from many of the military members and veterans that it serves.

The company said Tuesday it will also start advertising again on other programs where it had suspended its ads, including “Hardball” and “The Rachel Maddow Show” on MSNBC, and Jake Tapper’s “The Lead” on CNN.

The boycott against USAA should continue until USAA stops advertising on MSNBC and CNN. Their customers don’t watch those networks.

Too late, I say. Other companies need to learn this is not an error that can easily be undone. I’d want some heads. Management has shown they cannot be trusted.

That was fast. USAA must have experienced a whole lot of blow back.

That’s what Fox News calls “Fair and Balanced”. Having a Never Trumper telling his audience the President is lying....

Damage control for USAA.

All advertisers ought to take notice.

If they want to stay above controversy, then they must plan for occasional Media Matters style onslaughts.

Have a plan in place. Have talking points to give Media Matters when they come knocking. Have a plan for on-line protestors, on premises protestors and for employees who want the firm to take sides.

Communicate the plan to employees, shareholders, vendors and customers.

“USAA was hit so hard that they’re still staggering.

That didn’t take long did it.

Amazing, the hammering power that 63 million Trump voters can have when we use it.

Looks like their self inflicted sucking chest wound finally got their attention. Frankly, as a USAA member, I would rather they stop TV advertisements completely.

I have been a USAA member for 50+ years.
They are a terrible disappointment on this matter.
I will certainly move my banking.

I can’t believe you actually watch CHIMP the SCHMUCK.
The term FLAMING LIBERAL FAGGOT must have been invented with that thing in mind.

Ditto that as a member. I find it interesting who ever Ginned this scheme up for USAA to jump the shark whether it was the Clinton's and their apparatchiks, Soro's, the Deep State and all it's players had a hand in this, Lost, period. That is a big deal, because they are loosing their mojo, we surround them. Trumpism and making a stand and not backing down is having an effect. We as a nation are manning up, especially to P.C. and all it's tentacles, we are becoming Alpha Males again, and it is good...
