Tucker Carlson’s Fox News Show Loses More Advertisers
Tiffany Hsu 5 hrs ago

In keeping with a monthslong trend, the exodus of advertisers from Tucker Carlson’s prime-time Fox News program continued this month.

Over the last year, dozens of advertisers, including Pacific Life, Farmers Insurance and SodaStream, have distanced themselves from Mr. Carlson, the host who caused an uproar with his recent on-air comments on white supremacy days after the mass shooting in El Paso. In the past two weeks, smaller companies, like the meditation app Calm and the online lending start-up SoFi, joined them.

The first wave of desertions came in December, when dozens of companies, including IHOP, Ancestry.com and TD Ameritrade, said they would stop advertising on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” after he said that the arrival of certain immigrants “makes our own country poorer and dirtier and more divided.”

More companies removed their ads from the show in March, when Media Matters for America, a liberal advocacy group, published years-old excerpts from the “Bubba the Love Sponge” shock-jock radio show featuring Mr. Carlson making offensive comments about women.

7. Just another shock-jock

who wants to earn notoriety by generating outrage in disenchanted people.

The problem is, they need to ramp up their rhetoric to maintain the outrage, then some people go 'enough already!'.

Shock-jocks? Who needs them? Shame on those media that employ them. But yes, pulling advertising will get the message across.

High time to take the shock-jock in the White House out of commission, as well.

8. Many advertisers "cite unbreakable contracts but have distanced

themselves from the show." Their reps no longer attend Carlson's cocktail parties, or what? In any case, sounds like he'll continue to hemorrhage revenue as these contracts expire.

CNN: "Long gone are blue chip advertisers like Lexus and Samsung. Filling the void are the likes of Home Chef and Aspen Dental, along with promos for Fox News programs."

Carlson on tape far too long and disgusting to suggest anyone listen to, but just a sample of the kind of stuff he says about half of all consumers who are part of every demographic:

TUCKER CARLSON: By the way, women hate you when they do you wrong and you put up with it.
CO-HOST: Exactly.
CARLSON: Because they hate weakness. They're like dogs that way. They can smell it on you, and they have contempt for it; they’ll bite you.
...
CARLSON: I mean, I love women, but they're extremely primitive, they're basic, they're not that hard to understand. And one of the things they hate more than anything is weakness in a man./div]

11. Long as he's got a following, Kochs or Mercers or someone will keep him on the air.

The pukes LIKE to recuperate their propaganda expenses through advertising revenue.

But they'll pay to lie to us if they have to.

12. White Stupidity

Would anyone else be supportive of banishing the terms "white supremacy" and "white supremacist" from the lexicon in favor of "white stupidity" and (apologies here, but I'm just making it up) "white stupidist"? A handful of Google hits tell me that I'm not quite the first to have made up these terms, but the former terms almost seem to legitimize the concepts, and I'm really sick of potentially legitimizing the illegitimate. And, of course, I think my suggestions more accurately describe the subjects.
