I wish that all companies would stop advertising on Fox News as a whole. But this is a start.

It’s sad that his blatant white nationalism rhetoric has gone unchecked for this long, but I guess this is progress.

Yes there was an article a few days ago that said it’s common for these controversial hosts to “go on vacation” (wink, wink) after they’ve crossed a line.
I hope advertising drops even more.
I know I make conscious efforts not to support companies that support these loons.

Does anyone have current and reliable information regarding who advertises with him, hannity and fox in general? Apparently there is some incorrect info floating around? It would be nice to let these companies know how much we dislike tucker etc.

My hope is at some point even Fox News will have gone too far in the eyes of their supporters. The reality is any real change will come from the advertisers since money talks right?! Fox's whole evening lineup needs to be fired.

It would be nice to let these companies know how much we dislike tucker etc. I have been looking for this as well. I saw USAA tied to a show yesterday (on Twitter) and it made me sick to my stomach. But I haven’t been able to find reliable confirmation so I can write them. For those of you interested, they take complaints written directly to their CEO very seriously and handle them differently. At least they did when I worked there ages ago. His name is Stuart Parker. |

WTF happened to Tucker? I mean he's always been an ass, but he used to be a dorky bow tie wearing ass. Now he's bat shit crazy and evil to his core.

I’ve never boycotted anything in my life. But the Trump support has given me a list. I seriously must stand by my convictions.

I sincerely think that Tucker Carlson has become unhinged. I don’t know what is going on in his private life, nor do I care, but he has taken a significant turn for the no-longer-able-to-appropriately-self-censor.
I hope he goes far away someplace private to lick his wounds and stops inflicting us with his White Supremacist fueled-spewage.

from today's Huffington Post:
Last year, Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” would feature more than 30 paid ads. In his Thursday show, there were only 13. Friday, there were just 11 ads.
