Tucker Carlson’s Fox News Show Loses Disney & Other Advertisers Over George Floyd Killing & Black Li
[h=1]Tucker Carlson’s Fox News Show Loses Disney & Other Advertisers Over George Floyd Killing & Black Lives Matter POV[/h]
UPDATED with Disney/ABC statement: Tucker Carlson may have one of the most watched shows on cable news, but the Fox News Channel host is losing advertisers – again.
Whereas in 2018, over 20 companies yanked their ads after Carlson obtusely proclaimed that the undocumented made America “poorer, and dirtier, and more divided,” this time the exits are over the host’s stance on the death of George Floyd and the nationwide protests that followed against police violence and racism.
Both Disney and T-Mobile have cut ties with the primetime Tucker Carlson Tonight over the host’s polarizing point of view on the Black Lives Matter movement and the desire for justice and equality in America many of its members advocate. Along with Papa Johns and SmileDirectClub, the media giant and the telecommunications brand faced a backlash in recent days for their association with Carlson and his belief that the well attended protests were “Black Lives Matter riots”

There's only one reason that big advertisers like Disney will pull their ads and that's because they have received complaints from people that use or buy their product. It appears that Tucker Carlson has stepped on the toes of some of the Fox audience. Hard to believe even they have tolerance limits and Tucker Carlson really steps over the line regularly. Sooner or later, if he's not pulling in the bucks for the network, they'll toss him overboard like chum bait.
