The Advertiser Embargo Against Tucker Carlson Is Working
NY Mag ^ | Aug 8 2019 | Matt Stieb

On August 7, the day after Tucker Carlson called America’s white-supremacy problem “a hoax,” the Fox News host announced a weeklong trip “to the wilderness” to fish with his son. Unlike other hosts on the network who’ve come back from vacation to find their airtime filled, Carlson eased back into his routine on Monday with more pedestrian fare, including segments on Joe Biden’s fitness for the presidency and Elizabeth Warren’s Native American misstep. But not all his pre-holiday advertisers joined him upon his return.

According to the watchdog group Media Matters for America, in the past 11 days, Tucker Carlson Tonight has lost at least five advertisers, including Nestle, SteinMart, HelloFresh, Calm, and SoFi. It’s the latest run in a bad year for Carlson: According to Media Matters, his “nightly paid ad load” dropped from a high of 36 paid ads per episode in October 2018 to 15 per episode in August 2019. Since December 2018, over 70 paid advertisers have abandoned his program.

Once again, corporate boycott despite the people.

I remember once Hannity admonishing us against boycotts, because I guess they were the ones paying him so he could not fathom campaigning against his advertisers.

HE should have warned them because now they are dropping them anyways of their own volition.

Sounds like it would be best to leave that city you describe. Best advice is move to a better place. Thank God, there are still plenty of smaller towns in the USA where people love God and support President Trump.

The division between the immoral and moral will keep increasing. Ignore the immoral voices, and live out your lives in a good, peaceful community.

Actually, Hersheys makes a berrer cocoa baking powder than nestle. And nestle uses fetus parts to enhance flavors. I’ve been boycotting nestle for some time now.

All we can do is hope that by boycotting conservatives, they hurt themselves.

CEO’s need to learn this lesson.

Quit staffing your marketing departments with Millenial female social media addicts who earned degrees from brainwashing universities. They are unduly influenced by Twitter campaigns organized by activists. They’ll run in screaming that the sky is falling based on tweets from five people.

“Tucker is the only show I watch on Fox.”

same here ... and not only is Hannity monotonous as a broken record but never lets his guests actually talk, constantly stepping all over them ...
