If you advertise on Tucker Carlson Tonight, this is what you just bought:

A message that the Black community should “just move on from slavery”.
And you got a two-fer, because you also bought a message that if you’re a white supremacist, it is irrelevant.

To recap:
Black Community - “Get over slavery already”.

White Supremacists - “You guys are all good.”

WOW: @reddit banned the QAnon board.
Look, the hard truth is that if you’re angling for ad dollars, you can’t host content with violent threats and racism. You can do one, but not the other.

This cesspool has a long way to go, but this is a big one.
UPDATE: This is several months old. Still...it’s true. Maybe we’ll just keep posting old news for nostalgia’s sake.

Say it with us:

THE 👏BUSINESS 👏 MODEL 👏DOESN’T 👏WORK 👏 LONG 👏 TERM.👏

You can not simultaneously have millions of people uploading video that you couldn’t possibly regulate and guarantee the safety of the advertisers who pay your bills. cnbc.com/2019/02/22/you…
Social media companies have fooled advertisers for years into believing that platforms rife with fraud, hate, disinformation, xenophobia are good for them.

Ultimately, the risk to their brands will far outweigh the numbers that marketing managers can take upstairs to the C-suite
We need new solutions.
We need competition.
We need more places for advertisers to count on.
That’s the only way to break this cycle of awfulness.

Damn, it would be great to start a brand new social network from the ground up.

“Why don’t you go fuck yourself you tiny brain...moron?”

Beyond using his platform to say immigrants make our country “dirtier” and asking if diversity is our strength, parroting white supremacists, this will be yet another reason why advertisers leave Carlson’s show.
Ultimately, advertisers have come to grips with the fact that this show isn’t about legitimate commentary because it become completely shot-through with racism, xenophobia and misogyny. His moral high-ground act is up.
He spouts bigotry on behalf of very wealthy people like the Koch Brothers, who fund his website and the Murdochs, who own Fox, and there aren’t a lot of folks that would be proud to associate themselves with that.

The Big Switch Hypocrites !

The Virulence of Hollyweed are indeed nothing more or less than hypocrites in canned caviar, who overestimated their power of status and money, just like the f*** Democrats since 1829 who defended #Slavery, who started the Civil War, who opposed
#Reconstruction, who founded the Ku-klux-klan, who imposed #Segregation, who perpetrated #Lynchings, who fathered the #White f**** #Supremacy by reestablished the #Black Code #Laws exclusively to subvert and undermine the black community across of the United States the #Right to
#Vote, and as well as fought against the #Civil Rights #Act of 1950's and 1960's.

.@squarespace is advertising frequently on Tucker Carlson when it reruns late at night

The company is not responding to inquires about why it's continuing to advertise on Tucker when so many other companies have abandoned the show
@squarespace Last week, Tucker Carlson argued there was a moral imperative to pay men more than women.

@squarespace, which continues to advertise on Tucker Carlson, says it's deeply committed to pay equity

blog.squarespace.com/blog/equal-pay
@squarespace .@squarespace partnered with @GloriaSteinem, @aJaDaNg, @deunivory and @feministabulous to "help raise awareness about wage inequality and how it impacts us all"

Now the company is advertising on Tucker Carlson

Pacific Life insurance, which has advertised on Tucker Carlson's show for a year, said they "strongly disagree" with his comments last night about immigration and are pausing their ads on his show for the next few weeks as they "reevaluate" relationship hollywoodreporter.com/news/pacific-l…
Farmers Insurance (@WeAreFarmers), which also advertised during Carlson's Thursday night show, suggests in a statement that they aren't pulling ads:
UPDATE - @smiledirectclub, which advertised on Carlson’s Thursday and Friday night shows, tells me: “We are actively working with our media buyers to confirm that SmileDirectClub is no longer running our ads around any political opinion shows.”

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"
