    Lol, Hannity could have retired years ago and still wouldn't be broke. You're not gonna hurt his pocketbook. Who cares if the average Joe doesn't decide to go buy a Lexus or an overpriced shirt from UNTUCKiT because they pulled their ads from the Hannity hour. Other advertisers will take their place instead.

    Hell I wish. There wouldn't be one partisan host or anchor left. ABC, NBC, and CBS would be busy filling shoes for weeks, and CNN along with MSNBC would shut down completely.

    Is that why Sean Hannity has publicly announced that he will stop pushing this conspiracy? Because he doesn't care about the advertisers?

    Correction: "Advertisers flee Hannity over pressure from Media Matters and other left wing extremist groups."

    Exactly. I'm waiting for a new station to start that hires the guys that aren't afraid to expose our corrupt left wingers again. Since Ailes departure, Fox has gone downhill. It's funny watching the liberals puff their chests out under the impression that Fox is imploding because of their hosts.

    Like the fact that there's no evidence of Trump colluding with Russia? Oh, that's the liberals. Is their ideology more important that facts, too, or is this just something that counts for the lies you agree with?

    Liberals never, ever cease to amaze me with their never-ending supply of "holier than thou" hypocrisy, they're always too engrossed in other things to notice.

    I don't know, and neither do you. It most likely has to do with being pressured from the new owners of Fox. They're spineless and don't know how to stand up to the bullyish left.

    Fox is leading the polls? Great; McDonald's sells the most cheeseburgers. Doesn't mean they aren't crap as well. Quality, not quantity, that's the ticket. 'More' doesn't mean 'better'.

    Do you always assume to know the outcome of an investigation before it is concluded? How about you wait until those who actually know what they're doing come up with the result. Or is that too much to ask?

    No it isn't. Attacking advertisers and threatening boycotts is the antithesis of the free market.

    Lol. Do you believe it is good for democrats that MSNBC set ratings records for a few weeks? All that means is more Americans seen the lefts ridiculousness. Remember Maddow and the " Trump Tax Returns " . Lol. Funny stuff. But you can only watch it for a lil while.

    In other words, Fox is the leader and you can't deny it.

    Quality, which Fox dishes out, is the ticket.

    Next?

    Censorship? Bullshit. You know what it is? The free market. If you don't like someone, you're free not to do business with them.

    Or should it be illegal for businesses not to advertise on a show they don't approve of?

    If you look at the...ahem, 'quality' of the american people, being the most watched network is most certainly not a good thing.

    And when I read that bigoted remark and look at the 'quality' of the Swedish people...



    ...I'm unimpressed.

    By all means. Let us support the free market. USAA after listening to their customers and deciding that listening to the LW bullshit of Media Matters was not responsible corporate behavior, has reversed its decision and will reinstate Hannity advertising.

    Lots of the morons here on PF take Hannity and Alex Jones very seriously. In fact I would be willing to bet that over half of Trump supporters believe most of what idiots like Sean Hannity and Michael Savage spew.
