Companies including T-Mobile and Papa John's Pizza are distancing themselves from Tucker Carlson's television show on Fox News after the conservative host's dismissive comments about the Black Lives Matters movement.
The backlash intensified after Carlson on Monday offered an inflammatory take on the nationwide anti-racism demonstrations that have followed the death of George Floyd at the hands of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
"This may be a lot of things, this moment we're living through, but it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you, and at this rate, they will," Carlson told viewers on June 8, the first day of Floyd's memorial in his adopted hometown of Houston.
Asked by a Twitter user the next day if Carlson's message was one T-Mobile supported, CEO Mike Sievert tweeted back, "It definitely is not. Bye-bye Tucker Carlson! #BlackLivesMatter."
In fact, the telecom said in a subsequent tweet that it had cut ties with Carlson in early May, noting that it had "cancelled all future placements" and that T-Mobile will "continue to support those who stand against racial injustice."

BLM will deliver what ever the media wish of them!
They’re whatever the media says they are!
And they say whatever the media says they say!
He's been great.
I think it would be easier to list the companies that have NOT bended their knee to the mau maus.
You are right but not a reason to give up.
There are still other ways to steer your discretionary spending away from the LEFT. One way is to go local, like restaurants and go generic at the grocery store.
I cut my cable tv because I did not want to subsidize the LEFTIST channels in the basic bundle. Havent missed it.
“BLM has corporate America in an arm bar.”
More like they are kneeling on corporate America’s neck....
I am currently a sprint subscriber, where Sprint is being merged into T-Mobile. When the merger is complete, I am dumping them. I am not going to AT&T, who owns CNN.
BTW, AT&T (pre merger with Southwestern Bell) was notorious for woke office politics - going back to when Charlie Brown and Robert Allen were CEO’s.
you will be offline. you have to cut ties to AT&T, verizone, comcast, etc,etc. All support BLM. Please refer list below at the link:

Papa Johns, Dominos, Pizza Hut!????
I feel sorry for ANYONE who has to eat this trash. Where I live (Bucks County, PA) there are 100’s of small pizza shops. EVERY one is infinitely better than these chains.
It Tucker is fired, I will be firing T-mobile and Papa John’s (and the others that are pulling sponsorship of his program), as my services/products/food&drinks providers.
There are plenty of pizza providers out there, and there is still competition in the cellular services businesses.
I use Google as little as possible (hardly any searches thru them, and no Chrome browser), and I don’t own any Apple products or services.
Papa Jaundice? Papa’s John?
Great reply!
I will back Tucker as long as he speaks the truth until the death of CBS and all LSM.
Way things are going, folks are going to have to go on Shortwave.
We need an ongoing thread here of businesses that endorse blm and the crap they spew.
Need to be zware of who NOT to use, if you are concerned.
Make sure you tell them why.
There are only a limited number of networks, like our electrical grid. The point is that Patriot Mobile donates specifically to conservative Christian causes, never to leftist ones. That’s something.
Its cowardice.
No one will speak the truth.
Businesses today are cowards.
Have you seen his ratings lately? He has a bigger audience than Hannity with a less desirable time slot.
There is probably a long list of companies wanting to advertise on his show.
Not when you eat everything but the crust.
All time slots are desirable when 40% of the populace stays home every day
