Advertisers Ditch Sean Hannity Over his Coverage of Pedophile Ray Moore

At least five companies have announced they will not advertise during Sean Hannitys TV and radio shows following the hosts coverage of Alabama Senate candidate and accused pedophile Roy Moore.

Eloquii, a plus-size clothing retailer, was the first company to publicly distance themselves from the right-wing personality, followed by 23 and me, Natures Bounty, Keurig and Realtor.com. Representatives for the fivecompanies, as well as Fox News, did not immediately return HuffPosts requests for comment.

Hannity has come under fire in the last few days over his coverage of Moore, who was the subject of a bombshell Washington Post report Thursday detailing allegations that he had relationships and made sexual advances on teenagers while he was in his early 30s. In the most serious charge, a 14-year-old said he molested her.

(further down in article)
Hannity apologized to viewers during his TV show Thursday after backlash over comments he made during his radio show earlier that day that appeared to dub Moores alleged sexual assault of the 14-year-old as consensual.

That one line was absolutely wrong, Hannity said. I misspoke. Minutes later, he continued the TV show
by calling into question the credibility of sexual harassment accusers, seeming to perpetuate the myth that women often lie about their allegations.

3. It is really a different post. Now 5 Advertisers are refusing Hannity

In the other post, one you referred to, 2 advertisers were refusing to advertise on Hannity. The number has gone up and the reaction is stronger. And that is very important.

The source is different and the author is also different.

7. Yesterday I read that there were two advertisers and wrote that

all advertisers should boycott Fux Ruse since it is BS. Hopefully tomorrow I will read that more are putting their principles over propaganda peddling.

Are you f'ing kidding me?! Why the "appeared?" Insannity actual said CONSENSUAL! There's no way to walk that back. No way. And the media needs to cut it with the weasel words like...appeared. There's no misspoke. There's no appeared. He fucking said it on national radio.

9. Yes, Republicans think the only way a Woman gets to get ahead in this world

is to come out and point fingers at some RANDOM politician and claim he Sexually Assaulted us just so we can ride his coattails into fame and fortune, that No man would ever in their right mind would assault a 14 year old, especially not a politician, a person in power. Why this never happens in the United States, ever...



They must think we are stupid?

11. most if not all RW talk radio hosts are defending moore including limbaugh and they

need to be boycotted too.

every business advertising rw talk radio needs to be boycotted.

and there are 88 universities broadcasting sports on 257 limbaugh stations and essentially endorsing the limbaugh excuses.
