At least seven advertisers — Cars.com, Leesa Sleep, Casper, USAA, Peloton, the Crowne Plaza hotel chain and doorbell company Ring — have reportedly asked to be pulled from Sean Hannity’s prime-time program.

A representative of Fox News would not comment on the pullout by advertisers and said Hannity is off the rest of the week on a scheduled vacation.

“Like the rest of the country, Sean Hannity is taking a vacation around Memorial Day weekend and will be back on Tuesday,” a spokesperson for Fox News said. “Those who suggest otherwise are going to look foolish.”

The advertiser pullback was first reported by BuzzFeed News.

Would be nice.

Get fucked Sean. Glad advertisers aren't ok with sexual harrasment. Too bad it took till that to get here.

Hope it stays perminant.

 

[F0rneus]

He's going to find Ben Ghazi and get to the bottom of everything.

Conservatives have the attention span of a fucking flea. He's going to find out who killed Seth Rich for Obummer and Killary.

Bai bai bai bish!

Fucker Carlson ends up being the last man standing. Congrats.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Is he going to the Fox farm too?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

The D E E P S T A T E got him!!!

 

[Trojita]

Vacation is the new "Going to a farm in upstate New York".

 

[BrutishMrFish]

""""Vacation""""

It really was one for Jesse Watters. I'm not getting my hopes up unless Sean keeps bleeding advertisers.

God would it ever be nice, though.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Awaiting the announcement next week, "Hannity says he's fallen in love with vacation life, gonna go home and be a family man, regretfully leaving Fox."

That way he'd never have to go through the ignominy of being fired.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

Was last seen in Tripoli, asking around if anyone had seen Colonel Gaddafi.

Why even say this when they know it's wrong?

 

[Lord Frieza]

This might actually be a legit vacation due to the timing. The amount of advertisers pulling out really stagnated, kind of weird actually. He lost USAA, though, which was a big one.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I know I could look foolish on this, but I'm willing to buy the vacation explanation at this point. It is Memorial Day weekend, after all.

 

[MartyStu]

I think this may actually be a legit vacation.

 

[Steel]

You know, I can totally see the far right go anti-corporate because stuff like this keeps happening to them. What's an anti-corporatist, anti-government, political ideology anyway?

 

[rockinreelin]

Sean Hannity's head is like a thumb in a wig.

And what's up with that weirdo part to the side on his hair? Look like his mother still combs his hair every morning before school.

 

[wisdom0wl]

later biiiiiiiiiitch

 

[Loxley]

For his part, Hannity tweeted out that he took this same vacation last year and that he'll be back next week.

Could be damage control, but I don't think he's getting the boot quite yet. Fox will need a few more significant sponsors to drop for that to happen.

Uh...nothing? Lol, I have no idea, that would be anarchy I guess

 

[AstroNut325]

What if this was there swamp Trump wanted to drain???!??!?!?

Hyper space 8th dimensional chess!

 

[Marvie_3]

Hopefully he doesnt come back.

 

[Coolluck]

Oh that's nice that he's going on vacation. I hope he goes on a trip to Belize.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Fox news has the best vacations.

I hope he gets an all expense trip to Kenya. That fucker.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Let's hope it's a permanent one.

 

[Violet_0]

Deja vu

thank you, yes

 

[RC0101]

What are the odds that he does end up being fired?

The main hosts always take extended vacations typically a day or two extra. Hannity isn't gone yet for sure. If he keeps losing the advertisers though the talks of buyout will begin

 

[Leona Lewis]

What are the odds that he does end up being fired?

Anytime soon? Pretty low, since these advertisers are mostly small-time and Hannity seems to be reigning in this week's crazy.

But his recent behavior has put a dark cloud over his program, and one more fuck-up is all the excuse bigger advertisers will need to escape his residual stink and all the excuse the Murdoch boys will need to sack him permanently.

 

[Lord Frieza]

What are the odds that he does end up being fired?

Odds were looking pretty high, be had five sponsors pull out, including USAA, which is a major one for his and Fox's demo, but it's really stagnated since then with nobody else pulling out. So, it's hard to say.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Oh so we're up to 7 now. Sweet. Can't wait to see him go down.

7? Who are the last two. I only know of 5

In the OP

Cars.com, Leesa Sleep, Casper, USAA, Peloton, the Crowne Plaza hotel chain and doorbell company Ring

Keep 'em coming. Bill needs company.
