At least five companies said over the weekend that they will no longer advertise their products during Fox News’ “Hannity” television show, which sparked an outpouring on Sunday of counter-protests on social media.
Keurig, Realtor.com, 23 and Me, Eloquii and Nature’s Bounty all pulled their ads from the television show, in response to Fox host Sean Hannity’s coverage of the sexual misconduct allegations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.
On Twitter, the companies announced their decision to discontinue showing their ads during Hannity’s show — one of Fox News’ most highly rated programs that is wildly popular with conservative audiences.
None of the companies cited Hannity’s coverage of the allegations against Moore as the reason that they had pulled their ads. However, the companies took to social media to announce that they were not advertising with the show, after Twitter users called for them to distance themselves from the show.

One more …
.@Keurig made a decision to pull ads from the @seanhannity show. This decision is disgusting, and will not be tolerated. Regardless of any response, I am done with you, Keurig. You will regret this decision.
