A Fox News host is once again the target of a left-wing advertiser boycott campaign, this time it’s prime time host Tucker Carlson. And as the liberal media does, they throw fuel onto the fire. During Wednesday’s edition of CBS Evening News, correspondent Jericka Duncan promoted the boycott and singled out the companies who had yet to pull their ads from Tucker Carlson Tonight.
The offending act? Carlson said this on this show late last week: “We have a moral obligation to admit the world’s poor, they tell us, even if it makes our own country poorer and dirtier and more divided.”
“When Fox News host Tucker Carlson made those comments last Thursday, critics called for advertisers to pull their ads. On Monday, Carlson said he will not back down,” Duncan began. She hid the fact that those “critics” were radical left-wing groups like Sleeping Giants and ThinkProgress.
