Call to boycott companies that advertise on Fox

These are not people you'd necessarily expect to be calling for boycotts. This might be a big deal:

[twitter.com profile] EdwardGLuce (Financial Times US national editor): The most effective thing Americans can do is boycott companies that advertise on Fox. They bankroll the poison that goes from the studio into Trump’s head. The second is vote.

[twitter.com profile] JRubinBlogger (self-identified conservative columnist for the WaPo): Fox is a menace, a purveyor of conspiracy and anti-immig hate. It's where rants against Soros are commonplace and the "nationalist" pres is defended. If you're a conserv pundit what the hell are you doing on their shows? If you're an advertiser why have products assoc with Fox?

[twitter.com profile] MaxBoot (conservative policy analyst): If Murdoch and his sons won’t rein in its extremist propaganda, advertisers should flee Fox, and investors should flee its parent company, News Corp. Its stock should become as toxic as shares of mining companies that produce “blood diamonds.”

Part of the context: Slate: Why Did Synagogue Suspect Believe Migrant Caravan Is Jewish Conspiracy? Maybe He Watched Fox News.

Anyone know of a central site/blogger/poster keeping track of Fox advertisers?
