Volvo pulls its ads from Hannity after Moore coverage
Is Hannity going down? No ad revenue..equals no show?
"Volvo is the latest advertiser to pull its ads from "Hannity" in the wake of the prime-time host's coverage of Moore, the Alabama GOP Senate candidate accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women. Keurig and Realtor.com both said they were pulling their ads in recent days.
Last week, The Washington Post published an investigative report in which four women claimed Moore pursued relationships with them while they were teenagers and he was in his 30s, including one who said Moore initiated a sexual encounter with her when she was 14.
A fifth woman came forward Monday to accuse Moore of sexually abusing her when she was 16.
None of the advertisers said they were pulling their ads because of Hannity’s coverage of the allegations. However, the decisions come amid an online campaign targeting advertisers for Hannity’s show."
Keurig:
Keurig CEO: We didn't intend to 'take sides' in the Roy Moore debate
Keurig CEO Bob Gamgort on Monday said the company didn’t intend to take sides in an “emotionally charged debate” over Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore by pulling its ads from Sean Hannity’s Fox News show.
In a memo to Keurig employees, Gamgort criticized his company’s decision to tweet about withdrawing the ads.
“This gave the appearance of ‘taking sides’ in an emotionally charged debate that escalated on Twitter and beyond over the weekend, which was not our intent,” Gamgort said in the memo, according to the Washington Post.
