Fox News Host Tucker Carlson Loses More Advertisers
NY Times ^ | June 12 2020 | Tiffany Hsu

On Monday’s segment of his prime-time show, the Fox News host Tucker Carlson cast doubt on the reasons behind the worldwide unrest prompted by the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month.

“This may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through,” Mr. Carlson said. “But it is definitely not about black lives, and remember that when they come for you. And at this rate, they will.”

Since he made those statements and others, prominent companies including the Walt Disney Company, Papa John’s, Poshmark and T-Mobile have distanced themselves from “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” joining other businesses that have backed away from the show in recent years.

The flight of advertisers accelerated on Tuesday, when the watchdog group Sleeping Giants tagged T-Mobile in a Twitter post, saying that Fox News had aired what amounted to an “extremely racist segment scaremongering about the Black community.”

Yeah, and TV shows like Cops and LIVE TV have been canceled. Perhaps we will get more shows about Stalin and Mao and how great it was to live in those commie socialist states where each MURDERED OVER 60 MILLION of their citizens!!! Hang in there USA commies, you’ll get your asses handed to you one day when your Leader craps on you.

We need to get good conservative businessmen to step up. I note that Mike Lindell is standing with Tucker.

The only problem is, it probably means more My Pillow commercials.

Yeah, I remember when advertisers fled the Rush Limbaugh show and that was supposed to be the end of Rush to the delight of libs everywhere.

Turns out more smaller, aggressive businesses that don't give 2 Fs about political correctness took their places. There was one advertiser who begged Rush if they can come back after Media Matters did another smear job on Rush. I believe it was one of those file backup companies like Carbonite or something. Rush refused.

I just hope they don’t take them back when this all backfires on the socialists. Dems are scared and leaving the party. Rush called it last week that this shying away from stopping the criminal rioters will have a huge backlash.

Tucker could start his own podcast and make more money on his own if Fox tries to cancel him.
