For the last 3 years, we have, along with others like @mmfa@juddlegum and @DesignationSix, asked advertisers if they support Carlson's rhetoric about Immigrants, the Black community and Women. There are zero left.
They are sticking with Fox, though. There's still more to do.👇
Fox is equally complicit in allowing this to happen. This week alone, he has used his platform to denigrate Women in the armed forces and pointed his sizable audience at a female reporter who was already being harassed.
How does any company justify doing business with Fox?
Right now, businesses that have stood for racial justice and against gender bias like @ProcterGamble@gm and @GSKUS all continue to send advertising dollars to Fox, which has done nothing but denigrate those ideas.
We hope these businesses reconsider their support immediately.
Additionally, as @GoAngelo points out, if you are paying or basic cable, you are paying Fox $20 per year in subscription fees. This needs to end.
We should all have the option to avoid this ridiculous payment for a network that many of us have no desire to support.

ALSO SEAN DAVIS: If you retweeted “Mommy Milky”, I’m going to sue you ass into the ground!
None of these chuckleheads ever understand 1A, but talk about it nearly all of the time.
By the way, we’re just following what’s happening via everyone else’s tweets because we’ve been blocked for three years because, you know, champion of free speech.
PREDICTION: Tonight, @TuckerCarlson will say that he, in no way was disrespecting the troops and the “woke mob” took his clip out of context on Twitter because “they demand total subservience and they want to shut me up” or some shit.
Don’t buy it.
Tucker Carlson has no coherent belief system other than hating anyone but American white men. This is why he’s worshipped by white supremacists.
That means the Black community. That means Immigrants. And yes, that means Women in the military.
It’s white dudes for him or nothing
The only reason he gets away with this is because Fox News, likely the only employer in the United States that would put up with this, lets him.
This will be the 5th or 6th time he’s been in this situation in the last 4 years.
Last night, Tucker Carlson dedicated an entire segment to slamming @TaylorLorenz after she reported being relentlessly attacked, assuring another wave of harassment.
When protestors went to his house, the media breathlessly defended him on air for 2 weeks.
Where are they now?
This is so common from Carlson that there’s an entire group of people that can show you a direct correlation between his segments and terrifying harassment.
Yet, when it happened to him (which we denounced), he was able to drive an entire news cycle on it.
Why is that?
We’re not seeing @CNN covering it, as they did with Carlson.
Or @washingtonpost writing features on it, as they did with Carlson.
We’re not seeing @StephenAtHome do a segment on it, as he did with Carlson.
Why is Carlson’s treatment of a female journalist different?
When you think about it, it makes total sense that the same person who created a buggy, d-grade social network for nazis thinks that “our way of life” includes a dog holding a gun with no opposable thumbs and a Dad using a glock as a spatula.
The last 5 years have been a colossal opportunity for grifters like Alex Jones, who were able to take advantage of a ready-made audience of gullible Trump consumers waiting to buy whatever anyone was selling them.
These people, like Mike Cernovich, Dan Bongino, Ben Shapiro and Jones had access to amplification they could have never dreamed of previously through social networks and unmoderated advertising, merchandising, subscription & payment platforms allowed them to monetize it. 2/
Trump fandom was and continues to be a group of easy marks for all of it.
Even if these grifters didn’t like Trump, just merely expressing their support of him or his policies could land them millions in sold merchandise and exposure on social platforms. 3/
