"Bye-bye Tucker Carlson!" T-Mobile CEO says as advertisers drop Fox News show(because he was critical of BLM)
CBS News ^ | 6/11/2020 | KATE GIBSON

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."

IOW, he's the only journalist left on network "news".

Yes, there is - but you're missing my point.

All this support for BLM, wokeness, white privilege, etc. is designed to demoralize mainstream whites and get them pissed off at blacks in general. What do you think is going to happen when you keep calling whites racist? Pretty soon whites are going to shrug their shoulders and go Galt. They're not going to frequent places where there are blacks or attend sporting events like the NBA or even football. The businesses they own, they're going to have some type of charge or rules to keep out black customers.

It's just a self-fulfilling prophecy the Left is doing, and it's just sad.

I have used T-mobile for the last seven years. I had no complaint until now.

Good bye T-mobile. I heard about Patriot mobile. I will be switching tomorrow. I tried to tonight but their su[port is not very sophisticated yet.

They have very bad coverage for my area. I can go to straight talk, but Walmart is pro BLM too.

“Why in the Hell would white people associate themselves with blacks from here on out?”

Because we are better than to judge people collectively.

Embrace good people of good character of ANY race

So glad I cut ties with TMobile 2 years ago for their support for some other leftist nonsense.

"Bye-bye Tucker Carlson!" T-Mobile CEO says as advertisers drop Fox News show(because he was critical of BLM)

Preceded moments ago by this headline concerning a conservative voice in England:

Nigel Farage to leave radio job after comparing Black Lives Matter movement to Taliban

Until now I have refrained from once again propounding Nathan's first maxim of politics to avoid belaboring the obvious:

All politics is not local but ultimately racial.

It is time to embrace truth no matter how obvious or how dark its implications. Many of us are only now beginning to understand the cosmic implications of casting politics according to race, tribe gender etc: we are about to lose our Constitution, our property and our country as victims of this maxim.

Fox and Friends is also quite supportive of Trump.
Just wish it came on at 9:00am EDT instead of 6:00, which here on the Left Coast is 3:00!
