More than a dozen companies have announced they will either pull or suspend their advertising from Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show over comments about immigration he made last week.
Land Rover, IHOP, Ancestry.com, Just For Men, Minted, Smile Direct, Pacific Life, ScotteVest, Nerd Wallet, TD Ameritrade, Bowflex, CareerBuilder, Zenni and the Chase United MileagePlus Explorer card had as of Tuesday afternoon all released statements saying that they would no longer advertise on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
The retreat from Carlson’s program came as liberal activists and organizations pressured companies to abandon the show.
Carlson, a conservative who has made the subject of immigration a hallmark of his program, made the comments that led to the advertisers’ decisions on Thursday night, when he said on his show that mass-immigration “makes our country poorer, and dirtier, and more divided.”
After an initial backlash that included at least three advertisers pulling their commercials, Carlson defended those comments on his show Monday night, showing images of trash left at the US-Mexico border and arguing that “huge swaths of the region are covered with garbage and waste” left behind by immigrants “that degrade the soil and kill wildlife.”
Carlson added on Monday night that “the left” wants him to “shut up,” but that he would not because he was “not intimidated.”

Oh my, a real oldie (but probably not a goodie) with Fredo Cuomo and Don Lemon, lol.

The Left despises him for sure but Tucker also makes the Republicans very nervous. He highlights lots of issues they don’t want to hear about or acknowledge lest they actually have to do something constructive.
The notion of Republicans having to propose solutions to our problems terrifies the daylights out of them. They would much rather whine about everything and dodge questions with meaningless blather.
It’s harder to organize a boycott against something that is unique and has no comparable competitors — like the NFL or a TV personality like Tucker Carlson.
The most effective boycotts I’ve come across have been done at the distributor-retailer level … generally under pressure from their customers. Anheuser-Busch may not care if a bunch of customers stop drinking their beers, but they will be alarmed if a major store or restaurant chain stops ordering their brand entirely.
From CNN , LOL
Well that’s not really a boycott, since boycott, businesses just leave. But also, here we are years later and Tucker is still on Fox and still paid millions. So if this was a boycott it failed utterly.
Now I see, you had to report it because I swore there was no reply button, and that is still the case on your 1st post. 😋
What a coincidence! Those are the same companies I no longer buy products/sersvices from.
Im surprised based on the discovery released in the Dominion case that advertisers have stuck around.
Wrong anyway. The Bud “boycott” is a whole different thing. Looks the same but the “internals” are very different.
Consumer boycotts don’t matter because even though Inbev lost revenue their stock price is up because investment firms like Blackrock are buying their stock and have trillions in assets to do so. The only way to actually stop this is to go after Wall Street.
Crystal ball, and accurate.
“cnn”
Says it all. Besides, who’s out and who’s still in?
Right.
Not to worry, there are several companies who want to advertise on Tucker’s show. Also, as did Rushbo, announce that those companies will never be allowed to advertise on his show again.
Land Rover, IHOP, Ancestry.com, Just For Men, Minted, Smile Direct, Pacific Life, ScotteVest, Nerd Wallet, TD Ameritrade, Bowflex, CareerBuilder, Zenni and the Chase United MileagePlus Explorer card.
Not big sales companies they pimp to anyone for a buck and to sound as the give a shit about anything else.
Lipstick on a pig is still a pig
So, this pack of dingbats are equating a boycott of beer customers with the drawback of a squad of “nobody ever heard of you” crappola suppliers. Right. And, on that they claim that boycotts don’t work.
And, who is stupid enough to believe this?
It is a 2018 article, but it is CNN, so it could have just been one of their pre-written articles like they do with election results
