The Advertiser Embargo Against Tucker Carlson Is Working
NY Mag ^ | Aug 8 2019 | Matt Stieb

Posted on 08/20/2019 6:06:08 PM PDT by rintintin

On August 7, the day after Tucker Carlson called America’s white-supremacy problem “a hoax,” the Fox News host announced a weeklong trip “to the wilderness” to fish with his son. Unlike other hosts on the network who’ve come back from vacation to find their airtime filled, Carlson eased back into his routine on Monday with more pedestrian fare, including segments on Joe Biden’s fitness for the presidency and Elizabeth Warren’s Native American misstep. But not all his pre-holiday advertisers joined him upon his return.

According to the watchdog group Media Matters for America, in the past 11 days, Tucker Carlson Tonight has lost at least five advertisers, including Nestle, SteinMart, HelloFresh, Calm, and SoFi. It’s the latest run in a bad year for Carlson: According to Media Matters, his “nightly paid ad load” dropped from a high of 36 paid ads per episode in October 2018 to 15 per episode in August 2019. Since December 2018, over 70 paid advertisers have abandoned his program.

Tucker is the only show I watch on Fox. Hannity is monotous and too much Republican cheerleading. Laura is personally unlikable. The blonde lady after Laura is boring.

“The left has gone full Stasi and is careening towards pol pot.”

Precisely.

Can’t refute or debate Tucker so the Left has to destroy him.

It’s time for OANN, Breitbart, and The Epoch Times to merge.

Yawn. These jerks pulled a stunt like this with Rush about 10 years ago. Total failure. In this case, I never heard of any of them.

Vannity has been in an endless loop for years interrupting his guests. Waste of time. Laura is like a giggling high school girl. Hard to believe she’s a lawyer.

If there is an audience, there will be sponsors. The empty slots get filled, when they do, the left will have nothing to report unless its negative.

Glad they are exposing the boycotters. Now we know who NOT to buy from.

Fox News’ leftward tilt is what is driving their core audience away. If they want to be part of the MSMedia they won’t have an audience.

We are on the very edge of having a liberal political litmus test govern every aspect of our lives.
College acceptance, job opportunities, social inclusion or rejection will all be determined by politics and political affiliation.

Don't believe in the Climate Hoax?
Sorry - no Ivy league college for you.

Parents not card carrying democrats?
Sorry kids - no room on the sports team.

Don't support the idea of White Supremacy?
Don't support reparations and racial preferences for minorities?
Sorry, there is no place in our firm for you.

Made some comments on social media opposing gun control or open borders?
No party invitations for you or your children.

Seen at a republican rally?
Sorry, we have decided to use a different plumbing company.

Really not much different than the old Soviet Union.

If you're not in with the ruling clique you live on the ragged edge and get the dregs.

Nestle, SteinMart, HelloFresh, Calm, and SoFi.

Nonsense! I don't know about Nestle, but those are regional minor league buy times who were probably expiring soon, anyway. As usual, full of sh!t.

We must defend Tucker. He speaks truth about the need to protect WESTERN, CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION from being overwhelmed by 3rd world hordes.

The West must be preserved!
