As advertisers flee, panicked Hannity launches pathetic ugly smear against boycott leader
https://shareblue.com/as-advertisers-flee-panicked-hannity-launches-pathetic-ugly-smear-against-boycott-leader/
Instead of calming nervous advertisers, Sean Hannity's wild attacks on his critics will likely prompt more brands to flee his show.
Flailing wildly on his program Monday night, Fox News host Sean Hannity desperately tried to slow the advertising exodus that has gripped his program in recent days.
Specifically, Hannity launched a 20-minute tirade against Media Matters, which has been leading a campaign to contact Hannity’s advertisers to urge them to stop supporting his toxic program.
The latest push to persuade advertisers came after Hannity suggested some of Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore’s accusers in Alabama might be lying about their claims he pursued them sexually when he was in his 30s and they were in their teens. Hannity also suggested some women might be lying in order to make money off their claims.
The campaign is working, as Hannity has lost nearly a dozen advertisers, including Hebrew National, ReddiWip, Marie Callender’s, Volvo, HelloFresh, Hubble Contacts, UNTUCKit, Volvo, the Society for Human Resource Management, Cadillac, and E-Trade.
News that Keurig was withdrawing its sponsorship of the program outraged Hannity fans, who launched their own bizarre “boycott,” by destroying their $120 Keurig coffee makers in protest.
Note that Fox saw its advertising revenue plummet 17 percent in September, compared to September 2016 — and that was before its primetime host started defending an alleged child molester.

Oh yeah, it is a beautiful day that warms the soul. Hit them where it really hurts, in their revenue streams.
The psychology of smashing $120 coffee machines because the company opposed child molestation is simply
I might pick up some Green Mountain K cups for my office machine even though I don't want to drink it. I'll share it with my coworkers.
