Fresh off the fiasco regarding Sean Hannity and USAA, and that company’s pull of ad spots from the Fox News show due to coverage that leftists didn’t like, a conservative group has turned tables and launched a campaign to do the same to MSNBC and CNN advertisers.
Media Research Center’s Brent Bozell said in a statement: “Today we are putting ten shows and their major corporate sponsors on notice that we are watching their every move.”
The messaging comes just after USAA pulled ads from Hannity’s top-ranked Fox show becuase of complants about his queries into the mysterious death of a Democratical National Committee official who’s been tied, in some circles at least, to WikiLeaks information painting Hillary Clinton in a poor light.

USAA stopped advertising on Hannity’s Fox segment, in response to pressures from the left. Conservative outcry ensued, however, in large part because Hannity is a known supporter of veterans’ rights and USAA’s entire mission is to support the veterans and military.
Shortly after, USAA turned back its decision and resumed advertising on Hannity’s show. But the damage was done.
As the Washington Examiner reported:
“The targeted shows on MSNBC are “Politics Nation with Al Sharpton,” “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” “All In With Chris Hayes,” “The Rachel Maddow Show,” “The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell,” and “AM Joy.”
“MRC also hits CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” “CNN Tonight With Don Lemon,” “Reliable Sources,” and “Fareed Zakaria GPS.”
“The White House and GOP have been under fire on the shows, and the Republican National Committee Wednesday singled out one MSNBC show not on the MRC list: “Morning Joe.”
“‘If there is a leader of the pack for the worst case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, look no further than MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe,” said Michael Reed, RNC’s research director.
“The group listed the advertisers of each show on its website. ‘We will be publicly listing the advertisers of these programs and asking them to defend their decision to continue airing ads on these shows. Every time one of their on-air personalities go beyond political commentary and engage in smear and hate, we are going to unleash an army of activists to contact these advertisers by phone and through social media to ask them why they are advertising on programs that are so biased, repulsive and morally bankrupt,’ said Bozell.
“Bozell said, ‘We know the inside-outside game that radical organizations are playing with their leftist allies in the ‘news’ media. The radical left’s effort to silence conservative media by targeting their advertisers with coordinated smear campaigns has gone unanswered, but today is the day the conservative movement fights back, but with a big difference: We’ll tell the truth. And we’ll take no prisoners.
“‘Every network and cable news channel is today on notice that the MRC will be closely monitoring their leftist opinion programs and informing their advertisers and the American public when these programs and hosts go beyond political commentary and engage in smear, hate and political extremism. The difference between our effort and what the left is engaged in is that we will demonstrate to the advertisers of these programs how the hosts of these shows are not simply engaged in disagreeable political discussion but rather outright hate and personal character assassination.'”

For most of my long life, a late stage oc·to·ge·nar·i·an [ˌäktəjəˈnerēən], I have boycotted products with an agenda rather than an interest in providing their customers with a usable quality product.
Some fifty years ago I recognized what a nasty wasteland t&v was and formally executed the one eyed intruder with my trusty Colt 45 long Colt.
We then called the local Boy Scout Troop* to fire a thirteen gun salute of Disgrace over the alien carcass.
These days my Thursday night poke club uses it dishonored grave as a site to expel our excess of beer.
The dogs, horses, and critters seem to have caught on as they now use it as their favorite spot.
* Boy Scout Troop: Back then it as an all boy affair void of its and tannnies.

Financial pressure on the lame stream media is the only effective weapon to use against them. The media cannot exist without advertising cash, if the advertisers of not see results from there promotional dollars spent on advertising, they will find other ways to contact customers. Do not purchase anything that is advertised on media outlets that try to weaken America by strengthening islam and its dedication to destroying freedom with shari’a.

Mad as Hell Boycott has been working on this for awhile now and seems to have gotten nowhere. Perhaps this new effort will have more power.

One million moms does an awesome job of targeting advertisers who promote nasty programming. All you have to do is click on “send email” and you reach the advertiser. Often, within days, the advertisers cave.

Boycotts seldom are very effective, to accomplish anything, they take a long time, they do bring focus and attention to issues though.

Turn about is fair play. This is a threat that will work for two reasons. First, the advertisers pulling ads off Fox News suffer the threat of a consumer boycott by customers angered at their cowardice, and second, BSDNC and CNN, a.k.a. “Crescent News Network” losing advertisers will hurt more so since both are so broke they couldn’t buy a sick whore a drink.

If Hannity gets bounced from Fox I will be gone from Fox too. Lets see how much these advertisers will be willing to pay Fox when all of their viewers are gone. I am sure that Hannity would be most welcome at Mark Lavin’s station which depends on subscribers rather than advertisers. I haven’t subscribed there because I don’t have that much money. But if he was to get fired at fox and end up at the Mark Lavin station I would probably subscribe. Perhaps all the best of the conservatives would end up there and the advertisers could just go to hell in a hand basket.

DNCMedia courtesy of Cable News engage in something more serious than being repulsive: They skew the news to fit a ONE PARTY agenda. It is called Propaganda and Brent Bozell that is the language that needs to be communicated to these companies or nothing will change. Do Advertisers want to support sedition and a closing down of our democratic system for a ONE VOICE government? A movement cloaked in political bias in News, Television programming and TV Advertising to include Film? These bullying thuggery tactics used by this Socialist Movement is a destructive movement that censors THE OPPOSING POINT OF VIEW. This results in an uninformed public, a bullying public and an end to a United States that has thrived with all voices for several hundred years.

As an elderly man who has watched political commentary all my life i can categorically say that freedom of speech is been taken too far in your country, to the outside world your Media is out of control , where is the American politeness and the intelligent discussion of the pass, why are your young Media presenters so brash rude and divisive , who speaks for your moderates, to me it would seem that your nation has lost it’s moral compass when your president is no longer Mr President but just Trump . Even in South Africa where the people are polarised against the President he is still referred to as President Zuma in the Media.
