Fox News should fire Sean Hannity, Media Matters head says: 'Uniquely destructive
Media Matters President Angelo Carusone says he is not letting up on his campaign to pressure brands that advertise on Sean Hannity, telling TheWrap that his ultimate goal was to oust the conservative commentator from Fox News.
“Sean Hannity is uniquely destructive in the media landscape right now. His extremism, persistent lies, conspiracies and attacks on women that speak out against sexual misconduct warrant some kind of accountability,” said Carusone. “What Hannity does is so volatile and reckless that I don’t think he should be at Fox News any longer.”
On Monday, Carusone tweeted that another brand, Hubble Contacts, was also pulling the plug on Hannity ads. Meanwhile, two other advertisers, HelloFresh and TripAdvisor, clarified that any ads that run during his show were done in “error.”
Carusone said that — as with Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly — advertiser pressure was necessary in order to “force” Fox News to act. - AOL.COM
