"..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.

Last week, a Washington Post article published an article suggesting Moore had romantic or sexual relationships with four teenage girls when he was in his 30s, allegations which the candidate has vigorously denied. In the wake of the Post report, Hannity asked his viewers to give Moore the benefit of the doubt.

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.."

I don't know if he is innocent or guilty, but that's just the point. Neither do they.

Looks like all Hannity was saying is that it's not fair with no evidence and a 40 year gap between the events in question and accusations being laid out to characterize him as guilty.

Supposedly that is how our system works, protecting rights of the accused. So why the pull-out? What would be their main beef with Hannity's comment?

It's kind of clear what it is: we are supposed to assume this man is bad and guilty, since he is a 'White raycis'. With Kobe Bryant, though, we were supposed to assume, even with physical evidence against him, that he was innocent and being accused 'cuz black'.

Interesting to see the company '23 and me' participating in the withdrawal, since they have everyone who takes a DNA test it seems come out with at least 1% nigger of some sort, lol.

People could shoot back some complaints at Keurig, realtor.com, etc. for obviously believing the accused have no rights.
