After #BoycottKeurig started trending on Twitter over the weekend, the coffee machine company’s CEO Bob Gamgort
has expressed regret in an email to employees obtained by The Washington Post.
In case you’re not up to speed, the company announced in a tweet on Saturday that they were halting advertising on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show
following the anchor’s controversial comments about Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, who is facing allegations of sexual misconduct with teenage girls, one as young as 14.

Of course, the headline has to say “Hannity boycott” when Hannity himself explicitly says every time that he does not engage in or support boycotts.
It is an unacceptable situation.
K-cups are a rip off and environmentally unfriendly.
Sean pointed this out on his show yesterday and placed the blame more on Media Matters than Keurig. He said Media Matters generated thousands and thousands of e-mails to Keurig to push them dropping Hannity. Probably bogus e-mails sent by bots.
These CEOs are gullible sheep. They hear some crap, are too lazy to investigate, and merely follow the other sheep.
Destroying your brand to push any PC BS and/or Never Trump BS can be very damaging to that brand in today’s world.
Enjoy the ride Keurig!
Wish I remembered which asshat on Twitter was proclaiming “Hannity boycott failed”
I am continuously amazed by dumb-ass CEO’s who think they can control highly divisive and politicized social controversies to their marketing advantage.
FUGamgort...we know who you are now.
Even worse, from Media Matters.
Many companies have inept and inexperienced social media staff, or just out-and-out SJWs running wild. This is a wake up call to hire better people. Corporations love their EPS more than politics, more than life itself.
I’ve never understood why people like making their coffee that way.
Why does a business that sales widgets that people want, feel compelled to jump into the political arena?
Sell your widgets, deposit your money, make payroll, and reinvest in your business to make more widgets. Rinse and repeat.
Isn't this covered in business ed? It doesn't seem complicated to me. I can nail this in 3 minutes and a .ppt presentation.
I recall thinking it quite odd that my uncle, who worked with some secret air and space technology back in the day, had no "new" technology in his house when he retired.
Now, being out of the technology game for a while after 35 years, I'm starting to think that a lower tech life might not be smart. Reading the news these days, I'm wondering if he wasn't a "luddite" due to knowing what was out there and what the future might hold.
The update at the bottom of the story clarifies.
They suck. Give me the old perk coffee pot.
It’s quick and you can quickly change flavors.
Of course, at the bottom. “BTW, we lied in our headline.”
Since when is “innocent until proven guilty” controversial?
