Fans of Sean Hannity have called for a boycott of Keurig after the coffee machine company joined at least two other companies to stop advertising on the Fox News show.
On Friday, Keurig and Realtor.com announced on Twitter that they would stop advertising on Hannity’s shows after complaints about the host’s defense of embattled Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore...
And plus-size fashion label Eloquii announced, “Hannity is blocked from our advertising list.” ...

Yep, hydrocarbon-laced bitterness, bested only by Starsuck’s bitter brew.
I’ve loved Folger’s instant for many years. Smooth. 8 cents a cup. (Coffee aficionados — flame away :)
So, Keurig inadvertently opens a national conversation about the quality of their product, which many find unacceptable. The unintended consequences proggies suffer is always entertaining to watch.
This is terrible timing by Keurig Green Mountain. The holiday season is when they make their big money. Is Leftist money behind this ad pulling effort?. Will it pay for the loss in sales?
They must be forced to advertise. There should be no pulling allowed.
I smell a DailyKOS, DU, or both operation behind this. It’s all a part of the coordination to keep a God-fearing, Constitutional abiding, candidate out of the DC swamp.

It is a ripoff, and the coffee tastes like plastic
*******************
In a blind tasting, very few people can tell the difference between so-called premium coffee and the much cheaper store brands. Same thing with wines and lots of other pricey products. Slick marketing is used to create an image of exclusivity in people’s minds. Its all a big scam.
But, but, but...I feel classier and ‘better’ when I pay 5-20X what it’s worth...

Companies definitely exploit the “cachet factor” in their advertising. People will pay up just to feel special, no question about it. This branding tactic works for them.
I’m not influenced all that much by price. I look for value.
“I always thought the K-cup thing was a rip off.”
I recall the inventor says he regrets inventing the thing based on the amount of waste it generates.
My mother, who lives alone, loves hers. She uses regular coffee and one of the K-cup adaptors and it makes just enough for her needs. She also had a problem with her first one and they sent her a brand new replacement.
There is no way I could survive on such a tiny amount of coffee in one cup but for a little old lady like my mother it works.
I’ve had 2 Keurigs. One lasted a year and the other a year and a half. Sometimes if you whack them, you can get them going again for a bit, but they eventually croak.
There’s a 7 or 8 part video on YouTube about how to fix one, and when the guy got to where he took a hacksaw to get the top off, I gave up. They have a bad design, if I remember, it was the water pump and the way it sits allows the wires to get wet. Basically, they are a piece of crap.
Sean should open the next show, look into the camera, and tell these companies why they’re being a jackass.
In America, you’re innocent until proven guilty.
Then go into the lack of credibility of this accuser. And don’t forget to bring up the Bill Clinton years to point out the hypocrisy.
We have to learn to hit back and do it as soon as possible.
Agree ...... 100%
Thanks for reminding me I am getting my French Press out, been using Ninja, it makes good coffee.
I began when the left wing army started tweeting to various advertisers and DEMANDING they pull their ads from Hannity’s show because you know, having an ad there meant they were defending a pedophile!
These lefty freaks are a danger to everything in this nation.
Nonetheless, once the lil army of malcontents started rattling the cage of the businesses they deemed unworthy, the Hannity fans took it to those businesses and called them out for being so weak to fall for this crap, again and again.
Long ago I failed “The Pepsi Challenge.”
No loss here both Keurig and Realtor have probably poor ratings.
I suggest the media and law enforcement revisit the 30 year old rape allegations against Bill Clinton that no one ever cared about. Let Juanita Broderick re-tell her story in the social media era so it goes viral.
Hard for me to boycott that which I have no interest in anyway, but I support their calls and hope they are effective.
