http://thehill.com/homenews/media/359956-advertisers-distance-themselves-from-hannity-after-moore-interviewTwo companies have said they will no longer advertise during Fox Newss Hannity after critics called for the companies to pull their ads over Sean Hannitys coverage of the sexual misconduct allegations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore (R).
Realtor.com and Keurig both said they are stopping their ads from airing during the show after being questioned about the advertisements on Twitter. Neither company specifically said their decision was over Moore coverage, but only made the announcement in response to critics.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are adjusting our media buy to no longer include this show placement. MS, Realtor.com wrote to a Twitter user on Friday who tweeted a clip of Hannitys Fox News show at the company.
Keurig said in a tweet to the president of liberal group Media Matters for America that the company is stopping its ad during Hannitys show.
Media Matters have a full list of Hannity's advertisers on their site..
