Corporate media continues moving their ideological goalposts and insisting anything short of full prostration before the woke cause du jour is somehow furthering atrocities. In labeling the right as the root of all evils, a renewed push to shame any party tangentially associated with conservatives has commenced and it includes the advertisers for Fox News.
Whether it be free speech or free market capitalism, the left despises that which can’t be controlled. Since they can’t outdo Fox News in the ratings and they have yet to successfully pressure legislative action against the network, they’ve resorted to somewhat of a proxy war against some of the largest streams of revenue for the network.
Following the shooting in Buffalo, talking heads across the platforms have pointed fingers at Republicans and the promotion of “hateful Right-wing rhetoric” as being responsible for the suspect’s motivations. So, NBC News reached out to those buying ad spots on Fox to see if they’ll continue to be a party to this alleged complicity.
“It’s time Tucker face consequences for his words": Tucker Carlson is facing intense scrutiny from extremism experts, media watchdogs, and activists who say there's a link between his rhetoric and the apparent mindset of the Buffalo shooting suspect. https://t.co/BB8ImDC3SI
— MSNBC (@MSNBC) May 21, 2022
“NBC News contacted spokespeople for 14 corporations that reportedly advertise on Fox News, including General Motors and WeightWatchers, and asked if their companies planned to continue advertising on the network following the tragedy in Buffalo,” the article explained.
The ladies of ABC’s “The View” rode this bandwagon Monday as well with co-host Ana Navarro stating Monday, “I think it’s time to name names and point fingers…If you are an advertiser advertising on that station, you are part of the problem.”
Of course, it’s likely purely coincidental that the pressure on advertisers fell at the same time that Fox News was having their annual “upfronts,” what NBC reported as the “yearly industry event in New York where network executives encourage corporations to purchase advertisements on-air.”
As expected, the push was specifically targeting primetime host Tucker Carlson. “In a statement,” NBC reported, “General Motors said: ‘We do not advertise on Tucker Carlson or other similar shows, though we do advertise on Fox News.’ When asked if the company plans to continue to advertise on the network, a GM spokesperson pointed NBC News back to the original statement.”
They went on, “WeightWatchers does not advertise on Carlson’s show. The company’s communications office did not reply to a subsequent email asking if it planned to continue to advertise on Fox news.”
The veneer of their efforts was fairly easy to see through for anyone who cared to look.
Until MSNBC holds itself to the standard they’re suggesting for Carlson, they’re just concern-trolling hypocrites.

The Buffalo shooter did not say a single thing about Tucker Carlson and wrote that he hated Fox News.
By contrast, the congressional baseball shooter who almost killed Steve Scalise declared his love for Rachel Maddow in writings.
Did Rachel Maddow almost kill Scalise?

In fact, the partisan hackery was on full display from the very opening of the article that listed progressive activists as a source for pointing out the connection between Carlson’s show and the ills of the world.
Extremism experts. 😂😂😂

I think you repeated yourselves.

trololol imagine using the term “extremism expert” unironically

The tangential claims that included citing other hit pieces like The New York Times report on Carlson that combed through all of his episodes are blatantly pathetic. If Fox News were as bad as they claimed, it wouldn’t take intense digging to find a half-hearted reference to anything as being the source on any extremists point of view.

But, that appears to be all they have to go on as they continue pushing to suppress any voices that don’t tow the progressive lines. Carlson himself called out the extreme lengths that have been taken and noted, “So, if you were to quote Martin Luther King Jr., whose monument stands on the mall, and say that the U.S. government ought to treat people based on who they are and what they do and not how they look and how they were born, should assess people on the content of their character, not the color of their skin – if that’s your position, you are by definition” — according to progressives he showed in a montage — “a White supremacist.”

Tucker Carlson has as many viewers as all of CNN and the view combined…who gives a rats sphincter what they think?
Too funny, while NBC almost has to Pay advertisers to advertise on their shows, they have the nerve to call these advertisers, who most are waiting in line to advertise on Fox, and ask them Not to. Like thats going to work anyway.
Send a-letter back listing mass shootings by blacks in just-the last-few weeks and NBC’s failure to cover it. Chicago, St Louis, Philadelphia
When joy ried stays employed with you your position is lost.
I think that those of us who value the truth need to let NBC know that if they are going to pursue Tucker Carlson through his advertisers we will cease doing business with NBC’s advertiser.
Shame on NBC and all affiliated with NBC.
This from a parent network that condones the likes of Joy Reid and Elie Mistal. They deserve to go down the tubes.
All victims of this tactic,cancel culture,misinformation activism should band with Musk lawyers that will go for blood against them.Become offensive not defensive.They need to learn that there will be serious backlash to their actions
Uuuuhhhhh…..Didn’t NBC just cave (ahead of the rest of the lamestream media) on the Hunter Biden laptop? They’re going to be 2 years behind on this, too.
If you think Tucker is wrong, just Google “The Browning of America.”
“The ladies of ABC’s “The View” rode this bandwagon Monday as well”. That’s a crock of shit. They are far from “ladies”, they’re more like harpies or vultures wrangling over a piece of meat.
there is NOTHING I watch on NBC except an occasional sporting show
If I knew who NBC advertizers were I would send them an e-mail to can NBC
Time to boycott NBC‘s advertisers
I would if I knew who they are.
I think Black Americans need to come to terms with their racism. Or how about taking a day off from shooting, looting, and murdering whites. F uc K CNN and the racist balck witch
Please, bizpacreview, I implore you to get rid of the very distracting action ads you run at the bottom of the screen!! So annoying, and no way to get rid of them. 😬
I stopped watching NBC when Trump left the Apprentice and they couldn’t even support their biggest and most successful host! It said everything you need to know about a corporation when they allow and participate in propaganda based on lies and absurdity!
They are the purveyors of hate and supremacy and they allow host to spew
their daily onslaught of BS! Advertisers should stop wasting their money on NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC & CNN America isn’t watching!
I’m more inclined to support a product if it advertises on Tucker’s show. Similarly, I have no intention of buying anything from any company that supports shows like The View. (I gave up Ben & Jerry’s years ago.)
Me, too, Natasha! And I use to love and purchase Ben & Jerry’s ice creams on a weekly basis. I also switched from Coke to Pepsi when Coke began their liberal “woke” BS.
I’m so black fatigued, send them to Mars they can start their own planet, instead of being a parasite on 🌎.
Just give them Mississippi and tell them to stay the F out of the other states :)
It goes like the song; “Carlson starts with a ‘C’ which rhymes with ‘T’ that stands for TRUTH !” Tucker does not lie. That’s more than NBC can say. We have been hearing their lies for longer than I care to say.
The willfully blind have no interest in hearing the truth! And the entire demented Democrat party and their liberal minions fall under that category!
Another effort to suppress free speech. Stopped watching MSM news several years ago. Fox and NewsMax mostly and read Town Halk, Red State, and Bo Snerdly. Miss Rush.
That’s OK. If you want to see NBC get what’s coming to them, stop watching the network like we did a few years back. Advertisers do notice and do cut back their advertising dollars. Fox just keeps them running for their lives. What a hoot
I also dumped the Democratically controlled NBC. When Trump was president they did a totally biased hit piece about the border wall. For me that was the turning point. They showed they had no interest in fair reporting, they were pushing the Democrats agenda. It is funny though to remember that as recently as Obama, the Democrats wanted border security also. How times have changed.
I’ve been watching nothing but FOX for several years now. And I’m selective about the shows I watch there — Tucker being one of my favorites!
Calling the clients of a competitor to spread filth about them?This is slander and actionable.
TRUTH AND FACTS AND DATA TO BACK IT UP ARE THE LEFTY,S K R Y P T O N !! F.J.B.
The lefties must be getting really desperate. November can’t come soon enough.
You can blame the Democrats for the shooting. It was the Democrat party that pushed for the closing of the insane asylums and for putting the insane out onto the street.
Start pointing the finger at the lefty scumbags that have divided this country
There are several warehouses filled with materials exposing the hypocrisy & immoral outrageous actions of the leftist news people at NBC, MSNBC, CNN & friends. Tucker & his people should start going through that material.
The last GM car I bought was in 1989, a Chevy Corsica. The worst car I ever owned. Paint peeled off the hood, driver side window fell off the track, buttons and knobs fell off, and for the final straw, the AC stopped working in August in Memphis. Traded it in at lunch for a Honda Civic. Since then I’ve owned a Volvo, Hondas, Toyotas, Acuras, Jeeps, and a BMW. Who cares where they advertise?
ITS THE ADVERTIZINGS DOLLARS THAT THESE NEWS ORGS ARE AFTER !!
The pathetic maneuvers of a dying network. NBC is just an arm of the Democrat Party. And it’s really sad that the highly paid experts haven’t figured out that the American people aren’t fooled anymore. NBC pushed Hillary’s Russia hoax for her, they pushed the Ukraine hoax, and they smothered the Hunter story during the election. Their rhetoric is easily FAR more dangerous than anything on Fox. Happy Voting….
I wish I had a company and advertised on TV just so I could have them call me and ask me to stop running adds on his network. It would give me a chance to get my thoughts across to them. I can’t type what I would say, but just use your imagination. LOL!😡😈
So just how did Tucker cause the Buffalo shooting? The Libs sure have a vivid imagination plus being full of Schitt. The Liberals and their news outlet have caused more death and destruction over the past three or so years than nearly any group in our history (setting aside wars, which this could have been classified as such). The Left needs to take a long hard look in the mirror before trying to find others to blame…same goes for OBiden – another POS!!!! FJB and the Liberal Media!!!!!
The mentally ill shooter said he hated Fox News. But, let’s review:
– Not being report but on Monday 5/16 a black man, Jeremy Smith opened fire on seven people in a Dallas Hair Salon.
– In 2016 Micah Johnson killed five and wounded 9 Dallas police officers in a Black Supremacist attack
– In November of 2021 black supremacist Darrell Brooks mowed down men, women and children at Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin by driving over them in his SUV. He killed 6 and wounded and maimed 60; mostly women and children.
– In April, Frank James, a black supremacist, who posted “kill whitey” rants on his facebook page, shot 29 people on a N.Y. subway.
No matter what like Joe Brandon and the Democrats tell you the statistical truth is that blacks (who comprise just 13% of the population) commit 90% of the interrracial felonies in America.
What’s surprising is that there has not been more killings in light of Biden, his Justice Department and all the left wing media’s continuing incendiary comments and lies about white supremacists being the biggest threat to the country. Unfortunately, it is likely to get worse as they continue to stoke racial animosity and hate by constantly dividing the country and trying to pit one race against another. The non-stop “rasict” and “systemic racism” cries from the left is one of the most egregious and horrific propaganda campaigns ever perpetuated to destroy an opposition party or possibly to destroy western civilization. Incidentally, Biden couldn’t be bothered to travel to support the victims of the attacks I listed and none of the black supremacists listed above have been charged with a “hate crime”. I wonder why?
It was damn shameful that Biden made no condemnation of the massacre in Waukesha. Oh … but he did send Kamala Harris to see Jacob Blake. She told him she was “proud” … recall, he was shot by police who responded to a 911 call from the mother of his children. He was trying to take the kids from her, a woman he had sexually assaulted previously. He ignored police warnings to get out of the car and started to go for a weapon. And Kamala Harris is proud.
It is laughable that these left wing scums keep calling the Conservatives racist all the while they promote CRT in schools all across America. This is the most flagrant example of pure racism right in our faces. They are so Hypocritical in their views and everything they accuse us of is exactly what they are guilty of. It makes you want to squeeze their empty heads to pinch out the $hit between there ears. God give me strength!.
If the media and president were not politicizing tragedies to suit a left-wing agenda, they would have denounced attacks in both Waukesha and Buffalo as domestic terrorist acts. Now they have more blood on their hands.
Sue NBC or tortuous interference.
Gee, Tucker draws in more than double NBC viewers, so why would companies pull their ads? Companies no longer shooting themselves in the foot but aiming for their chests. MSM needs to stop harassing companies with who they choose to spend advertising money with.
After Buffalo??
The evil SOB was a filthy liberal Bidet voter
Similarity? NBC and Gen. George Armstrong Custer?? How did that end NBC?
Tucker must be really effective, and NBC is getting even more desperate. I enjoy Tucker’s show, and haven’t watched anything NBC in years! NBC has propaganda shows like “The View”and I just don’t watch nonsense! GO TUCKER!
I hope the ones that advertise during Tucker Carlson Tonight are smart enough to realize that the leftists are the ones that encourage violence. If you want the truth, watch Tucker Carlson Tonight.
Constant reload makes this site useless
It sounds like the shooter was a typical left wing democrat terrorist. In other words he was a psycho and should have been institutionalized! democrats always project, and they use it on every issue.
Whatever happened to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, civil freedom of expression , and at the base of those is freedom of opinion. I guess their obsolete in the new Communist United States. I had a neighbor who stated that I didnt have the right to an opinion since i served my country in Vietnam. So I invited Adolf to get off my property.
Socialism/Communism is what is happening!
I’m loving the advertising boycott on Tucker’s show. His monologue’s are 20 minutes long. NO COMMERCIALS! LoL
These leftist “News Readers” and Commentators are the most fake people on the left. They talk in unison without creativity, or substance, using prepared lies hatched by their handlers, like a dog show. All to only to further the demonic lies and narrative.
