Post by: Jw2 on 03 13, 19, 09:58:40:PM

Title of the Article is Wrong.

There is NOTHING that says these are "News Shows!"

These are Conspiracy Shows about "what if" and "Maybe could be."

More cowardly companies caving to the mob.

There will be no free speech if libs get their way.

I think it's informative to the American public to show who attacks free speech and Who defends it.

By all means, keep announcing these boycotts.  Show us who you really are.

Evelyn Hall:  I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Liberal/progressives:   I disapprove of what you say, therefore I must destroy you and silence you.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT  Every time the Left opens that pandora's box!   I LOVE IT!
For some reason they actually believe only THEY can use that box once its opened.
 
Everyone has a past. And most of us don't think we were recorded. OR don't remember when we were drunk and someone else recorded the party.
Raise your little hands if you think only Conservatives have an embarrassing recording out there being jostled around in someones sock drawer.
 
Can't wait for the other shoe to drop...

The power of the pocketbook is all we have to fight with. There are several companies I refuse to do business with for various reasons. Sears, because they screwed me once. You don't get two shots. Walmart and Sam's club because of their unfair labor practices, some of which costs all of us money. There are others, some political, some personal. I am one person and don't have much effect, but an organized boycott can be bigly effective.

Yep even one that backfires on those that started the boycott, like media matters.

I guess I'm gonna have to check out media matters. I will go google it now and see who their advertisers are so I can give a show of support.

Re: reply #13

Some advertisers are backing away from tucker carlson and jeanine pirro's fox "news" shows after the two high-profile hosts were accused of making bigoted statements.

You do realize the head of Media Matters has made several racist statements, right?
