Sean Hannity goes on vacation as advertisers drop out of his show (7 so far)

Sean Hannity goes on vacation as advertisers drop out of his show
Stephen Battaglio Contact Reporter May 25 2017

Fox News may be seeing a repeat of advertiser backlash that eventually drove out its former top anchor, Bill O’Reilly.

At least seven advertisers — Cars.com, Leesa Sleep, Casper, USAA, Peloton, the Crowne Plaza hotel chain and doorbell company Ring — have reportedly asked to be pulled from Sean Hannity’s prime-time program.

The defections are in response to the host’s promoting a right-wing theory that Seth Rich, a Democratic National Committee staffer, was slain after providing party emails to WikiLeaks.

“We don’t have the ability to influence content at the time we make our advertising purchase,” Cars.com said in a statement. “In this case, we’ve been watching closely and have recently made the decision to pull our advertising from Hannity.”

A representative of Fox News would not comment on the pullout by advertisers but said Hannity is off the rest of the week on a scheduled vacation.
