All those Sean Hannity fans outraged that Keurig stopped advertising on Hannity’s show are going to have a lot of other products to boycott. But Roy Moore fans may be boycotting Hannity in turn, after the Fox News host gave Moore 24 hours to “immediately and fully come up with a satisfactory explanation for your inconsistencies that I just showed” in Moore’s denials of having sexually pursued and in some cases assaulted teen girls when he was in his 30s. It’s not clear that will be enough to revive Hannity’s advertising, though: Reddi Wip, Hebrew National and Green Mountain Coffee announced that Hannity is no longer a part of their advertising plans following concerned tweets from customers. (Conagra brands, which owns Reddi Wip, Hebrew National and Marie Callender’s, another Hannity advertiser, told Business Insider that it actually ceased advertising with him a few months ago.) [...] HelloFresh also stated on Twitter that it “continuously” works with media buyers to ensure its ads do not appear on Hannity’s programs. TripAdvisor, Hubble Contacts, and CA Technologies all said they were not advertising on Hannity, while Keurig was not the only brand to have already pulled advertising, and the Society for Human Research Professionals gets extra points for having pulled its advertising from Fox News entirely. Will all those people who recorded themselves trashing their Keurigs add hot dogs, coffee, and cans of whipped cream to the carnage? Or will they instead burn Hannity in effigy for daring to suggest that Roy Moore’s unconvincing denials might possibly be worth less than the word of five different women (so far)?
