[Gothmog]

Boycotts can be very effective

1. Awww, without Advertising $$$$$$

whatever will they do?

[gibraltar72]

2. Advertisers show their appreciation by sending Tucker on vacation.

[oasis]

3. Drip, drip, drip. The slow decline of both Fox and Trump!

[DemocracyMouse]

18. Underdog is defeating riff raff!

Go Underdog! (And the Rolling Stones for nailing it!)

https://m.

[oasis]

23. I was mesmerized by the cleansing lack of Trump's face throughout.

[certainot]

21. the only thing keeping them both in the games is the invisible political 2x4 known as

hate radio

[oasis]

25. I worried about a new generation of McVeigh/Nichols types created

by today's r-wing media.

[certainot]

28. and russians can help by calling into shows!

[calimary]

29. WAY too slow, if you ask me.

[oasis]

31. We'll be turning the corner soon and running to daylight.

I'm looking forward to a long period of rest and relaxation under Leader Pelosi and our next Democratic President.

As Jesse Jackson would say, "Keep hope alive".

[lunatica]

39. I doubt there will be any peace or relaxation

This has been and will continue to be a polarized war for years to come. Paid for by the 1%.

[erronis]

4. As their puppet-in-chief would say: FALSE ADVERTISERS

If they don't wear MAGGOT hats, they aren't real AMERICANS.

Don't worry, CHIK-A-FILA and PAPPA-JOHNS still loves me.

[Mr Tibbs]

10. PAPA John resigned in disgrace from his own company a few days ago

It all started with Colin Kapaernick taking a knee.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy

[hibbing]

5. Resurrect Pat Buchanan as replacement n/t

[efhmc]

7. Why?

[hibbing]

8. Because he's a racist turd just like most of their hosts?

[FakeNoose]

6. Down they go!

[ToxMarz]

9. Afte Fox, maybe Trump could put Pirro in as

"acting" First Lady and !*ucker in as "acting" White House dog.

[CaptYossarian]

37. He'll want Pirro to replace RBG.

Although, TS Ellis just auditioned last week with that flaccid sentencing.

[Trenzalore]

11. I think Tucker is done

His comments aren't helpful in selling Tide. Survival seeds maybe but not most of the products a network needs to pay big money for that time slot.

[CDerekGo]

12. This takes a while

But it's FINALLY happening. All of these Faux News talking heads were good for nothing more than to prop up an illegitimate 'president'. I can remember decades ago, when folks started writing (days before email) advertisers that they intended to boycott their products, based on which shows they had their advertisements aired. Worked in the 70's, works in the New Millennium, though now it's being referred to as a 'vacation'

Yeah, uh huh...

[tikka]

13. Why isn't pressure being applied to stores carrying the National Enquirer?

I realize that it's ubiquitous in grocery stores and there are few other options for groceries. That doesn't mean that customer complaints can't work to get rid of this propaganda tool. There are other gossip/conspiracy magazines available for die hard readers.

[Pepsidog]

14. Pirro, Carlson, Hannity are truly despicable people

[Traildogbob]

20. As/Stephanie Miller

Today her and Chris were talking of a free range pasture for ex Fox host's that crossed a line, even for Fox. Greta, Aldelson, OH'Reilly, Beck, and others to come. Open vacation pastures where they all can rant at each other and be ocassional guesses of Rusty Limpballs and Alex Jones. Feed em Unlimited Chic-Filet, with Bud Lite. Just make damn sure fracking and oil rigs are in those fields.

[Pepsidog]

32. Good idea setting them out to pasture. Miller is a different breed than the

radio and tv personalities cause he is a true believer, as hateful of a person that ever existed. He would be the Eichmann of the Trump right organizing the concentration camps that’s how evil he is. His large forehead seems to me to house some sort of deviant brain. I know I am going over board but Miller is the most innately evil person I think i have ever seen.

[Traildogbob]

40. Whoa!!!

Stephanie Miller, not the goul Steven Miller. Never confuse the two. Stephanie is a warrior resister, a superstar on free speech TV.

[pdsimdars]

15. They just spew and exude HATE. Get them off the air. Stop poisoning America.

[Gothmog]

17. They both are real slimeballs

I hope that this boycott works.

[Saviolo]

16. Look at all that free market capitalism!

Except when it's pointed at people like Tucker it's "Buckling under pressure to the extreme left radicals" instead of "corporations running from openly hateful ideologies they wish to not be associated with."

Also, it still shocks and amazes me that anyone can take Jeanine Pirro anywhere remotely seriously. Her whole delivery and cadence when she speaks can only be described as self-parody.

[Brawndo]

19. It's a start

From the article this OP is referencing, "But as The Post’s media reporter Paul Farhi noted in December after Carlson’s immigration comments, these advertiser decisions don’t tend to affect the company’s bottom line and the commercials can be aired at other times."

It's tempting to celebrate any movement in the right direction against the poison propaganda network but any effective boycott has to be large enough to impact their bottom line. What would be effective is for billionaire philanthropists to pool resources, buy controlling interest in Faux Noise and either shut it down or completely change the content it airs.

[certainot]

22. boycotts need to spread to talk radio and trump and the gop will fall apart. gop senators will

vote for impeachment if they know limbaugh is going to be gone

[Paladin]

24. Very glad to hear it.

Both of those no-talent schmucks deserve to be driven off the air.

[C_U_L8R]

26. Hate may tantalize the knuckledraggers

But it’s bad for business. Brands should know better than to advertise there at any time.

[SWBTATTReg]

27. We don't listen to scumbags or idiots that rant and rave w/ no supporting facts, or rant and ...

rave about others while making fun of them. They truly don't deserve our business or viewership.

[bullwinkle428]

30. Let's not get too premature with the popping of champagne corks - recall that

the vile slug Laura Ingraham lost shit loads of advertisers close to a year ago, and her pathetic excuse of a show remains on the air.

[Gothmog]

34. She lost her radio show and her current show is full of in house ads

Fox is losing money on that show

[Gothmog]

33. Here are the companies advertising on Tucker Carlson and Jeanine Pirro's shows

35. Great!

[GoneOffShore]

36. Washington Post paywall.
