Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s recent comments about white supremacy being a “hoax” have driven off yet more advertisers from his show, leaving him with significantly fewer commercial spots than he had this time last year.
Don’t worry. I’m sure Glenn Beck will always be ready and willing to advertise GOLD on Tucker’s show.

Good.
Unbreakable contracts? Isn’t that a Harry Potter thing? Is Fox now using witchcraft?
Even if this were true that they already had committed to the slots there is nothing saying they must fill them with ads about a specific product. They could use those spots to read a statement of condemnation or maybe work with John Oliver to come up with something spectacular.
I’d be OK with that being the story.
That John Oliver suggestion is glorious to imagine.
I want that look on his face to become permanent, i.e. his mouth clamped shut.
When der Tucker says,
“Ve ist der Master Race!”
We “Heil! Ppppt! Heil! Ppppt!”
Right in der Tucker’s face.
Wow. Imagine that. The ‘invisible hand of the free market’ swats Tucker on the ass.
Karma is like Pizza. Somebody has to deliver it.
Can someone post a list of the remaining sponsors so I can write to them (I cannot bear to watch it to find out for myself).
“Many companies have reportedly stayed with the network, citing unbreakable contracts, but have distanced themselves from Carlson’s show.”
How the hell do you distance yourself from a TV show you’re still paying money to and advertising on?
It’s not clear - but it’s possible they’ve reassigned their commercials to different shows. Hence ‘staying with the network’.

I am not sorry that I am not sorry about his problems. I boycott supporters of Amerikkan Pravda. Free markets after all. Thoughts and prayers for my conversion.
Carlson is such a delicate pretentious twit … how is he dealing with all of this humiliation? - infinite arrogance only goes so far …

No such thing. Scratch vs. Stone, NH 1847
Boycott FOX
I’ve made comments here that as a general rule people should shun and avoid Republicans, because generally speaking what they espouse and believe in is harmful and damaging to the long term prospects of the nation. Of course it’s met with the usual “That’s shortsighted and mean-spirited, you need to stay engaged with them and help steer them around to a more progressive, inclusive, emphathetic way of thinking.”
So, are the advertisers pulling ads from Carlson’s show wrong? Should they be engaging with him? Should they be trying to make him see the light and change his ways? Should they continue to give him money in the form of ad buys, despite his hate and vitriol, in the spirit of getting along and hoping he’ll experience, with their help and patience, an epiphany?
What’s that relevant line from Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus”? Oh, yeah!:
“Whomp! Whomp!”
Couldn’t happen to a nicer little shock jock. Tucker never did know where the limits were.
