"SNIP...........

Two companies have said they will no longer advertise during Fox News’ “Hannity” after critics called for the companies to pull their ads over Sean Hannity’s coverage of the sexual misconduct allegations against Alabama Republican special election nominee Roy Moore.

Realtor.com and Keurig both said they are stopping their ads from airing during the show after being questioned about the advertisements on Twitter. Neither company specifically said their decision was over Moore coverage, but only made the announcement in response to critics.

“Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are adjusting our media buy to no longer include this show placement. –MS,” Realtor.com wrote to a Twitter user on Friday who tweeted a clip of Hannity’s Fox News show at the company.

Keurig in a tweet to the president of the liberal group Media Matters for America said the company is stopping its ad on Fox News during Hannity’s show.

It is a propaganda network without regulation and is in the GOP's pocket.

Wish his listeners would wake up to that without boycotts being required, but such is life.
