Advertisers Who’ve Recently Abandoned Tucker Carlson

Gone…

These companies previously advertised on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” but have given into an organized smear campaign by activist groups Media Matters and Sleeping Giants.

The ad boycott is already causing headaches for Fox News by costing the conservative-leaning network lucrative opportunities to boost revenue. 

Here are the companies that have abandoned Tucker Carlson in the past ten days:

T-Mobile

On June 9, T-Mobile confirmed it would no longer run ads on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” It didn’t take much prompting for T-Mobile to abandon ship during this latest boycott campaign against the Fox News superstar, with CEO Mike Sievert happily surrendering to the woke mob.

I agree! Bye-bye Tucker Carlson!

Disney

On June 10, Disney confirmed it would no longer run ads on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” 

In a statement to Deadline, Disney said its ABC ad campaign mistakenly aired on Tucker’s program, claiming “The ABC advertisements were placed on the show without our knowledge by third party media buyers who were unaware that we do not advertise on the show, and they have now been notified not to place any further ads.”

Vari

On June 10, Vari, a sit-stand desktop company, confirmed it would no longer run ads on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

Papa Johns

On June 10, Papa Johns confirmed it would no longer run ads on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” or any Fox News opinion shows.

A Papa Johns spokesperson explained the pizza restaurant chain’s stance to the Louisville Courier-Journal:

“Placement of advertising is not intended to be an endorsement of any specific programming or commentary. We have decided to suspend all resources allocated against opinion-based programming.”

SmileDirectClub

On June 10, SmileDirectClub confirmed it would no longer run ads on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” In a statement to TheWrap, SmileDirectClub said the company hasn’t advertised on Tucker’s program since its most recent ad campaign ended in late May.

Jackson Hewitt Tax Service

On June 11, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service confirmed it would no longer run ads on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

The tax prep service became the sixth advertiser to join the mass exodus of company ads over Carlson’s comments about civil unrest sparked by George Floyd’s death.

Poshmark

On June 12, Poshmark confirmed it would no longer run ads on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

While Poshmark has ensured its commercials will no longer appear on Carlson’s program, it continues to spend money elsewhere on Fox News.

Proactiv

On June 13, Proactiv confirmed it would no longer run ads on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

Proactiv skin-care products are still running ads on other Fox News programs. It should go without saying that no Fox executive wants to see advertising pulled from a single show.

HomeAdvisor

On June 15, HomeAdvisor confirmed it would no longer run ads on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

HomeAdvisor absconded from Carlson’s show Monday and as of recent reports, has not returned requests for comment.

Angie’s List

On June 15, Angie’s List confirmed it would no longer run ads on “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

IAC owns HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List. Combined, they were the 11th-largest ad buyer for Carlson’s show this year.

Will you be boycotting any of these companies for not standing by Tucker Carlson in the wake of the left’s latest attacks? Or does that not matter to you? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!
