At least five companies over the weekend said they will be pulling their ads from the show "Hannity"

-snip-

By Sunday, Realtor.com, biotech company 23 And Me, women’s clothing company Eloquii and vitamin distributor Nature's Bounty had also announced they were done running ads on Hannity’s program.








Fox News did not comment on the fleeing advertisers.

So, did not take massive talk of boycott to get them. Somehow, looks as if Moore was the last straw, cause there were other far more outrageous things Fox has done, and yet those advertisers stuck with it, till now.

Usually when this type of scandal happens, it takes a bit longer for everyone to weigh in, for the handwriting on the wall to take form, but thanks to magic of the inter-net, that time has been been condensed

If they advertise on Faux News at all, they need to be boycotted.

If they advertise on any of the thousand or so Clear Channel or Sinclair radio stations, they need to be boycotted!

Local advertisers on the morning drive radio show need to be boycotted if that station gives you nothing but hate for the rest of the day.

Universities that broadcast their sports on radio stations that give you nothing but hate for the rest of the week need to be boycotted.

I don't care if all they do the rest of the time is fucking cooking shows...if they broadcast one second of Limbaugh or Hannity they need to be boycotted!!

We need to end this fucking non-stop demonization and dehumanization RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!

After Tuesday, there should not be one fucking hate radio station in Virginia that isn't getting hundreds of calls every day!
