I'm Surprised That Companies Advertise On The Cable News Channels.....

Why would they want their company to be associated with all these tragedies that are happening?

As in:

This terrorist attack is being brought to you by ...... company X

This shooting of an unarmed black boy is being brought to you by ...... company y

This destroying of evidence at the crime scene is being brought to you by ...... company z


What are they thinking - advertising their products - and being associated with such negatives?

I stay away from any product that is advertised on these cable channels.

they don't seem to care. It is strange that they likely want women, Hispanics and African Americans to buy their products while they pay to have their consumers denigrated and worse.
I think we are looking for someone somewhere to have the power to stop the hate machine.
