Is Fox News about to lose its last remaining “old school” anchor holdout?
According to Philly.com, Hannity is taking “a couple days off amid a growing advertiser boycott” over Hannity’s pursuit of the Seth Rich story – an parallel to Bill O’Reilly’s final days – and so far, seven advertisers are said to have pulled out of Hannity’s show.
Cars.com was the first advertiser to announce it was pulling ads, telling Buzzfeed News on Wednesday afternoon that “we’ve been watching closely and have recently made the decision to pull our advertising from Hannity.” It was followed by exercise bike company Peloton (which just closed a $325M Series E round financing), Leesa Sleep; mattress retailer Casper, insurance company USAA; home security equipment maker Ring and Crowne Plaza Hotels, all of which announced they would be redirecting their ad buys from Hannity’s shows.
Meanwhile, the Five host Kimberly Guilfoyle, who has confirmed speaking to the White House about potentially replacing press secretary Sean Spicer, will be filling in on Hannity on Thursday and Friday.
