How much longer can he last ?

Seven advertisers have pulled their ads from Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News, following a week in which Hannity has stubbornly clung to a debunked conspiracy theory.

Through his Fox show and social media platforms, Hannity has pushed theory that Seth Rich, a DNC staffer who was murdered last summer, was the source of the emails released by Wikileaks.

Hannity believes this theory would exonerate Russia and, therefore, Trump from interfering with the presidential campaign.

Hannity relied on the claims of a private investigator and a report published on FoxNews.com. The investigator has since recanted and FoxNews.com retracted their story.



Cars.com announced their decision to pull their ads in response to an inquiry from BuzzFeed News.

A few hours later, the exercise company Peloton announced it was following suit.

Soon after, a reader forwarded ThinkProgress a response he got from Leesa Sleep, an e-commerce mattress company, when he asked if they would reconsider advertising with Hannity. A company rep told their customer they would no longer air their ads during that show.

Later, Casper, another online mattress retailer, USAA, Ring, and Crowne Plaza Hotels announced they would also pull their ads from Hannity.

Liberals love free speech...unless it's speech they disagree with then they bully everyone into silence.

The real tragedy here is that I can only down vote you once per post.

Conservatives love the free market... Unless they disagree with its rational actions.

This. It's not something to be proud of, Toddy.

Today's Left reminds me of the Moral Majority in their heyday, except 100 times more obnoxious,; 100 times more smug; 100 times more dangerous.

Enjoy the battle that Soros has won for the censoring of the opposition. The final victory will be ours.

This is where I'd usually say "go choke on a sack full of cocks".


But you'd enjoy that.

I'm sorry, I don't like Hannity, but this is bullshite with advertisers manipulating the media to meet their criteria. Sorry, even as light of a news source as Hannity is, if you support Don fricking Lemon, then you should support a hack like Hannity.
