Advertisers Flee As Hannity Steps In It Again

Right-wing hack and Trumpist cult shill Sean "Heil" Hannity has been one of the most prominent defenders of pedophile Bible-banger and little gun-toter Roy "Teen Spirit" Moore, the Rethug candidate for Senate in Alabama. Following highly credible allegations from four women, including one who said Moore abused her at age 14, Hannity went on the offensive (which also describes him). He dismissed the story as a "he said, she said" case, despite the deep sourcing in the WaPo article and the corroboration of some 30 contemporary witnesses, and said that Moore's interactions with the teens was "consensual" despite their age (though he later claimed he "misspoke" and apologized).

The blowback from advertisers has been strong: so far, five major advertisers are walking away from sponsoring Hannity's vile propaganda hour on Fux, with more likely to follow their example. Moreover, after Hannity's despicable conspiracy-mongering last summer about murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, advertisers fled Hannity's program, causing revenues to drop precipitously for Fux. As Hannity becomes more unhinged as his Trumpist, wingnut world unravels around him, expect more meltdowns and loss of advertisers until he's carted off.
