'Tucker Carlson Tonight' loses Disney, T-Mobile ads after host's Black Lives Matter comments

Just that a man can screw up and be removed from his platform. Tucker has yet to pull that sort of game with Fox.



Back to the racist insult huh..



And the second use of the same racist insult.
While also forgetting that there is a definite difference between freedom of speech and setting fire to their store, if they don't agree with your ideology.

Now you're free to continue your racism somewhere else.

Did someone set fire to Tucker Carlson? :lamo

We don't put people in cages and cheer about it. Tell us again how much the right cares, it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
 
Just look at the people the right listens to such as carlson, ingram, limbaugh, hannity and trump. These folks spout so much inaccurate info it's amazing and then they have the audacity to call other media outlets beside fox, fake news.

And yet most republicans still deny they are racists, they only listen to them.

he questions them and their motives.. that is not racism nor "demonizing".

We all know why he is questioning their motives. To insinuate that they have an evil alternative motive. Their motive is simple. To make aware and change the injustices against black people by whites people. Why is that so hard to understand. Why is it so hard to understand that this movement came out of the fact that George Zimmerman killed a black kid, was not arrested, then not convicted because of stand your ground. He followed a child because he was black and people like him think all black people look suspicious so therefore the kid was evil and Zimmerman was good. That is the narrative of people like you and that is the motivation of BLM
 
Good.

Beady eyed racists gonna be beady eyed racists.

Tucker Carlson's Fox News s how loses ad sponsors Disney, T-Mobile

T-Mobile and ABC, owned by Disney Company, will stop advertising on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show after his comments on the Black Lives Matter movement.

The news was first reported in Deadline.

Carlson has expressed opposition for the protests around the nation where millions of Americans have gathered to denounce police brutality and racial bias in response to the Memorial Day death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man in Minneapolis, who was pinned to the ground by officers after being accused of passing a fake $20 bill at a grocery store.

On Saturday, the news host referred to the protests as “Black Lives Matter riots."

Carlson also asked why it was “required to be upset” about Floyd’s death, as he isn’t from Minneapolis. The comment came on Jun. 1 after Nikki Haley, former UN ambassador, called for collective grieving.

I was wondering if and when this would happen. Say what you will, social conservatism is at odds with how corporations want to be viewed.

Who on earth calls their kid 'Tucker'? I bet the other kids at school had fun with that one...:lol:

Hogwash. The only things that business is intimidated by are revenue losses and brand damage. Catering to a consumer base that lives off of controversial divisive rhetoric only goes so far. And, I do believe that there are some corporations and parnerships that do have core values.

Like gay marriage it’s a cause fueled by lies.
Unlike licensing sodomy though, this issue will not last. Because just clamping down on law enforcement while not changing rates of blacks committing crimes is not a situation a narrative can cover up for long.
Also at some point Chauvins trial will be public news and at that point it will be plainly obviously false Saint George the Eagle Scout was choked by evil pigs narrative will collapse

Ladies and gentlemen. Vote Democratic.

Three things the right wing pretends to know all about but are really just useful props:

Market forces - If the majority of Americans support BLM and Disney wants appeal to a wide range of customers, they show solidarity
Free speech - If disney does not agree with Carlson they are free to take their money elsewhere
Common Sense - they don't need to be scared of the leftist media (or George Soros) to see that times have changed

Thats quite the bubble you have built for yourself to live in. Its ironic that you call yourselves "woke" because your living in a dream. Absolutely nothing you said is correct.

The average age of Fox and Tucker Carlson's show is 65. The average age of T-Mobile subscribers, I imagine is much younger with different POV' and they are aware where the companies that they choose to support advertise. It's a smart business move on T Mobiles part to bail on Tucker

Disney company should talk....


When I was a kid I remember going to Disneyland and buying a Confederate hat which came complete with the Rebel flag on it. They sold them in Frontierland at the "Trading Post". They had grey rebel hats, and blue Union hats.

And does anyone remember the old burning settler's cabin on the Rivers of America which you saw from the Mark Twain steamboat with a dead frontier settler killed by "savage Indians"?

Or how about Aunt Jemima's Kitchen at Disneyland with a Black woman dressed up as a mammy?

And many other things:

So... 60 years ago Disney was racist, and made money off racism, and now they're not so racist and try not to make as much money off racism.

The horror.

Do you think there an insignificant amount of T-mobiles customers that are conservative?
They are free to advertise wherever they want and you are free to think they are doing it for altruistic motives.
If conservatives are smart they will switch to another provider.

MSNBC demographics are nearly the same as Fox, just for the record

"For one, Fox News viewers (34% of American adults in the January 2018 NBC/WSJ poll) are often typecast as being old and white. In fact, according to the same January 2018 NBC/WSJ poll, the 21% of Americans who watch MSNBC are also slightly older:"

Except for the poor black folk victimized by the '94 Crime Bill under Clinton and illegal immigrant children under Obama....right? :wink2:


I'd have to tell you that the first time, no? a Warm and fuzzy? Oh, you thought we're were sharing our feelings? What are you thinking? This isn't your safe space...

That is an Obama study exonerating himself. That is very amusing once one reads the report.

NO left wing attacks at all?

Sure, and cows have wings. Notice that Islamists get to be included with Christians.
Click to expand...

Wrong! The information on these attacks that resulted in deaths, including the motivations of the attackers, is from the ECDB, maintained by National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), at the University of Maryland. START is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Center of Excellence. The ECDB tracks violent extremist incidents in the United States since 1990.

So actually George H. W. Bush not Obama is the culprit because he started collecting the information in 1990. The Trump regime is still funding START but apparently has decided to censor the information from any government reports after this one in 2017 because it doesn’t fit their narrative. START is still operating and publishing their information.

Yes it shows that the right wingers and radical Islamists were exclusively the killers from September 12, 2011 to December 31, 2016. The majority of the right wing violent extremists are white nationalists. Post 2016, there have been a few left wing killings, but those are still the tiny minority.

Sorry if the truth hurts. It’s amazing how you people can live in a truth free world. Trump has built a new world based on lies, conspiracy theories, division and just general nonsense.

Well, it's good to see that they're still too afraid to stand up to violence.
If they want to show that practically anyone can force such a large corporation to bend the knee and give their support. Then I don't think worrying about it would do much help.

I don't see anything wrong with what Tucker said. There are actual riots going on and it's obvious that these people don't actually care for who Floyd was, at least not like the actual protestors do.

But Tucker has always been strongly opinionated, so this is nothing new.
Fox will lose just a little more in the way of sponsors, but in the grand scheme of things, that doesn't actually matter.

The company has been smashing prime time records for itself and has routinely been doing better than both CNN & MSNBC combined.

Most people have better things to do than watch FOX, CNN or MSNBC in prime time. The ABC, CBS, and NBC morning and evening news shows are still by far the most watched news sources.

Nothing you said hurts. I treat it with the same respect I do to those that allege that today it is November 15 and that Trump won. I know he will but we can't say it today.

And you explained what makes them so ultra dangerous. I submit that PBS once a fine operation has gone full blown Democratic party supporter and is also dangerous.

FOX never has been a danger since they do put up the Democrats views alongside the Republican views. All the time in fact.
