    The Seth Rich family has issued multiple statements pleading for the conspiracy bloggers to give this a rest because it deeply saddens and hurts them to see their son used as a political pawn to push a political narrative. This guy was the most public and popular individual pushing the debunked narrative. Glad to see this punk get what he deserves and that the pushback is hurting him where it matters the most - his pocketbook.

    Hannity is SCUM for pushing this bullshit theory and he deserves to be fired if he continues.

    Did you miss your meds this morning? There is no censorship. The only thing these people understand is money. They pander to the rightwing lunatic fringe until reality intervenes, as it always does.

    oh, so private companies don't have the right to spend their advertising dollars elsewhere?

    These capitalistic ventures sure were not "the left". If they were they wouldn't have put a cent into Hannity's spectacle. They did the job professional reporter associations and guilds should have done decades ago. Journalism was once a noble, respected profession. Nowadays any fool with a babyface can claim to it.

    Isn't the investigation still ongoing? Perhaps you should wait until it concludes before celebrating and assuming he's in the clear? Just a suggestion. Assumption (as Frank Zappa pointed out), is the mother of all ****ups.

    No, it's as I said. A bunch of snowflakes bitch on Twitter and force companies to stop advertising on conservative networks or face backlash by relatively small percentage of their customer base. It's a sign of weakness. Competing companies with a backbone should go for the jugular.

    Totally.

    But, once again, it begs the question:

    How did a clueless COMEDIC MORON (like Sean Hannity) ever get a show in the first place?

    This thread = please don't advertise on hannity for trying to get to the truth of Seth Rich's murder. It could really hurt the greater good if the he was the DNC leaker.

    I was talking about the complainers on social media. But let's not pretend every company is backed by conservatives. That's far from the truth. You'd probably even be amazed that companies who advertise on Fox can be far from conservative.

    Yes, the DNC lemmings know if Seth is positively ID'd as the leaker, the Russia narrative falls apart. They can't have the truth foiling their agenda.

    Sure it is. Without sponsors the plug gets pulled on the speaker thus silencing his/her message. I don't know what else you'd call it.
