Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham of Fox News just lost a major advertiser

[Soph0571]

On Thursday, advertising firm Bayer announced that they would stop advertising on Fox’s News Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham’s show.

The move comes after the shows unprecedented use of racist and derogatory language. Both shows have pushed conspiracy theories and made bigoted remarks about immigrants.

Good. Better late than never

1. Besides My Pillow (guessing at that), who's left among their advertisers?

I don't think even the deep pockets at Fox can keep carrying these inflated salaries indefinitely.

And wasn't Ingraham cashiered some time ago, something about single mother Ingraham wanting to spend more time with her kids?

2. I don't watch Fox News,

but I'm sure it's loaded with erectile dysfunction drug ads.

3. And every pickup truck manufacturer...

I'm guessing.

14. Oh, I thought just showing a video of their exhaulted leader tRump would automatically

solve that problem. Isn't that usually all that's needed to bring them to their ultimate excitement?

15. My guess would be ads for

Life insurance
Personal mobility devices
Bath mats
Shower chairs
Grab bars
Hearing aids
Pain relief
Commemorative coins and plates
Can openers
Dietary supplements
Medical alert systems
Religious paraphernalia
Reacher grabbers
Large-button landline telephones
Large-button remote controls
Simplified cell phones
Magnifying desk lamp
Jar openers
Power lift chairs
Golden Oldie music collections

7. I know, I had the same thought about the MyPillow guy. Thanks for the chuckle.

Have you seen the bizarro ad where he crawls into bed with the couple and messes with their pillows? Later in the same ad, the guy sleeper goes to the bathroom mirror that the MyPillow guy came out of to thank him, and now they are both dressed alike, in the same blue shirt and a cross around their necks. I'm not saying the MyPillow guy is a closeted gay, but.....

... the air and they will be subsidized by rich right wing interests and people like the Kochs or Mercers
because the hate and lies they push are part and parcel of the right wing agenda of keeping the ignorant base
stupid.

Did you know that thousands of people in the UK
were going to turn out for pro Trump rallies? Fox biz told me that yesterday in th AM as I was channel surfing.

[not fooled]

11. Yeah

you said just what I was thinking while scrolling down this thread--the 666kook brothers666 will just pay them directly. A small price compared to the billions they reaped from the tax scam. All made possible by the faux-watching morans who constitute red don's base.

David Cay Johnston has just come out with an expose of kook brother bill dodging millions in taxes after don the puppet was installed and called off the IRS on him.

The looting continues apace.

13. I might be wrong but Rush has been losing money for years because he is not what any ...

... company wants to be associated with but he is still on the air. Selling hate is
good business. I have @ least 10 right wing hate/dumb fuck channels on my basic cable ...
gotta keep the base all riled up.

God only knows the billions that right wing contractors and others made on Dick Cheney's war for money
aka Iraqi war #2. Right now Trump and company are grifting at mind numbing levels.

12. The Fox business plan is about ideology. The dollar profit is gravy.
