Sean Hannity Draws Attention to Ad Boycott with Twitter Meltdown (Video)
“WHY DO YOU SUPPORT THIS?â€
Conservative Fox News host Sean Hannity drew attention to advertisers fleeing from his show in an early Sunday Twitter tantrum.
Hannity, with a clear affinity for caps-lock, directed his meltdown at CNN and the host of the network’s “Reliable Sources†Brian Stelter, who interviewed Media Matters president Angelo Carusone shortly after.

Carusone has publicly called for an ad boycott against Hannity’s show. The outlet currently maintains a list of his advertisers, advising that he is “functioning as a propagandist in order to advance a political agenda in support of Donald Trump.â€
They continue, before offering up-to-date contact information for Hannity’s advertisers:
Given the intensity of his promotion of Trump’s political interests as well as his reported clandestine collaborations, companies that sponsor Hannity’s show are essentially supporting financially a partisan operation. 21st Century Fox (Fox News’ parent company) has yet to hold Hannity accountable for his extremism, deceit, and reckless conspiracy peddling.Â
As NCRM has reported, Hannity nearly lost his job over his peddling of the Seth Rich murder conspiracy theory. Last week, Keurig pulled ads from Hannity’s show after he supported Roy Moore in the face of child sexual assault allegations. (Hannity since gave Moore “24 hours†to “come up with an explanation,†though he’s since advised Alabama voters should decide if Moore is fit for the Senate.)
On “Reliable Sources,†the interview that Hannity freely advertised as happening, Carusone discussed his call for advertisers to flee and Hannity’s reactions. You can watch the exchange below:

As Matthew Gertz of Media Matters noted:
I haven’t seen Hannity this agitated on Twitter since he decided that a DNC staffer had probably been murdered because he gave emails to Wikileaks. https://t.co/4IF4G0RJeb

Following the interview, Hannity continued his attacks:
Zuckers @CNN gives a platform and pass to a known racist, anti Semitic bigot. Mmfa record is atrocious as they are the most anti free speech, pro censorship group in America. This is why so few people watch #FakeNewsCNN tick tock… https://t.co/177yzUKTWc
