Call to boycott companies that advertise on Fox

[rydra_wong]

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

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.

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?

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?

I don't know of one, unfortunately, but it's heartening to see conservatives calling for a Fox News boycott.

Jennifer Rubin and Max Boot are possibly my two favorite NeverTrumpers, so seeing them on this particular kick is especially joyous.

Yeah, obviously it's not going to change any of the Trumpists' opinions, or that of the many, many Republicans who stopped being NeverTrumpers as soon as he won, but anything they can do to peel away any remaining shred of "conservative" credibility from Fox is valuable.

I would promote boycotting these advertisers if I could find a list of them.
