Tucker Carlson took yet another advertising loss this week, after online language-learning company Babbel said they are “blacklisting the show going forward” and apologized for accidentally allowing their ad to be placed on his Fox News show.

“If you saw our ad on Tucker Carlson’s show, you’re right to be upset. We are too,” Babbel wrote in a tweet on Wednesday. “While we did place our ad with Fox, we did not know it would air on a show so repugnant and at odds with our mission and values. We are blacklisting the show going forward.”

“We are deeply sorry,” the company added.

In response, Fox News released a fiery statement condemning the company for trying to censure their top-rated primetime host.

“The millions of unduplicated viewers watching Tucker Carlson Tonight are extremely valuable to our advertisers. Our audience is not only deeply loyal to the brand, but to our top tier partners as well, of which Babbel is not one,” a network spokesperson said. “We will not allow voices like Tucker Carlson’s to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts from the intolerant partisan activists Media Matters, Sleeping Giants and Moveon.org whose only goal is to silence conservative thought they don’t agree with.”

1. I wonder why in the world faux news would say 'millions of unduplicated viewers'? Obviously...

faux news seems to be aware of viewer numbers being artificially inflated possibly? Sounds like it.

5. Without a doubt. Pukes are nothing if not transparently stupid. nt

8. I never thought of that

I know it's not environmentally sound, but can I raise Maddow's cable ratings if I tune both of my Tv's into her show? Or do the ratings just look at it by cable tv accounts?

2. Oxymoron: "conservative thought"

3. They're throwing their money away

Thinking that elderly conservative rubes want to learn other languages. I doubt most of them even have passports.

4. Good luck Babbel

Please let us know when you find a show on faux that is NOT "repugnant and against the values and mission" of ANY decent human being.

You know what...on second thought... FUCK YOU and any other company that gives one fucking cent to ANYTHING Faux connected.

Hope you sell dozens of "Learn Hillbilly by Tape" lessons.

6. Why would Carlson's viewers need Babble?

They already speak American.

7. what the GOP calls the free market when it doesn't work in their ideological favor.

"censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts from the intolerant partisan" is what the GOP calls the free market when it doesn't work in their ideological favor.

But then again, they're idiot snowflakes triggered by opinions different than theirs, so I can't really be surprised by Fux's whining.
