Tucker Carlson’s Fox News Show Loses Disney & Other Advertisers Over George Floyd Killing & Black Lives Matter POV
Deadline Hollywood ^ | June 10, 2020 | Dominic Patten

Tucker Carlson may have one of the most watched shows on cable news, but the Fox News Channel host is losing advertisers – again. Whereas in 2018, over 20 companies yanked their ads after Carlson obtusely proclaimed that the undocumented made America “poorer, and dirtier, and more divided,” this time the exits are over the host’s stance on the death of George Floyd and the nationwide protests that followed against police violence and racism.

Tucker is the only person I have seen on TV with the guts to say the truth. That is why he needs to be punished.

And why FNC needs an excuse to get rid of him.

I wonder how much a 30 second spot on his show costs?

Maybe fans could do a GoFundMe.

Gofundme wouldn’t allow it.

If they did, they’d be making Carlson’s point for him.

Not to worry. As Rush would say they did not make him so they cannot break him.

Absolutely.

He’s right too about all our pols failing us here.

So far the communist revolution has to be going even better than the Deep State/globalists could have imagined.

Fox will eventually can Tucker. Then everyone will think he will just do his own YouTube thing, which he probably will until YouTube boots him. If Trump loses in November, Tucker is gone from Fox.

Actually he is one of the few bright spots left on Fox, it would be sad if they take him off but I fully expect that they will.

Tucker might end up having to podcast.

“Actually he is one of the few bright spots left on Fox...”

Ain’t that the truth. Hannity has become just something to suffer thru (or change the channel) until Laura Ingraham’s show.

One has to wonder what Shepherd Smith really did to get the axe. The Murdoch sons are bent on changing FoxNews slowly like a cancer eating away at tissue. Why they want to take a big crap in their own lunchbox is beyond me.

Everyone who still watches should turn them off today. Send them a message. We now have plenty of alternatives.

Yes, I don’t always agree with either Carlson or Ingraham but I always enjoy their take on things.

CNN does very well as far as advertisers go. It has always gotten more high class, high paying advertisers than Fox.

There have been others, but they are dead or “resigned.”

Many companies are now outright evil so it makes sense they can't stand the light Tucker brings. May God deal harshly with them.

Even Rush had to apologize so as to stop losing advertisers. The mob has been tightening control over the institutions of the USA for decades.

Be careful & cautious in what you write about “Deadline Hollywood”.....Methinks the George Floyd murder, & the rogue dirty cop that murdered him in cold blood is not over just yet. Methinks it takes two to tango!!!

Both this nutcase cop & Floyd knew each other and there was possible bad blood between them (Maybe Drugs, Women, Money...who knows?). The facts and truth will surface as the defense lawyers do their thing. As Sgt. Joe Friday of the famous TV show, “Dragnet”, used to say...”Just the facts, just the facts, Please!!! Stand by...folks!!!

True story ...

The very first time I turned on FoxNews to actually watch its news coverage was during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Within the first five minutes I reached the inescapable conclusion that I was watching a clown show, not a news media outlet. Shep Smith was the host, and he was babbling such incoherent and overly dramatic bullsh!t that I knew this wasn't serious news coverage.

It turned from comical to bizarre when he began reporting stories about people eating each other inside the Superdome.

If you go back and find the live FR threads at the time you'll probably find plenty of commentary from me about it.

I'm surprised the dope lasted as long as he did.

What can you advertise to people with the volume off at the airport lounge.
