Can't read the story without accepting their spam, so you'll have to actually discuss it yourself.

Why be mad? It wasn't personal or political. Seems fairly straightforward that it was a mistake that the ads were running in his show. As the USAA tweet said "Advertising on opinion shows is not in accordance with our policy and we’ve since corrected it." The ads were pulled because they weren't supposed to be there in the first place.

Mistake or not... as a member for almost 20 years, I support their decision.

In today's political world, it is very tough for financial-type companies to try and appear neutral. But, for the sake of argument, I would also be ok if the show they were pulling out from was something starring a far left commentator.

This would only make sense but they are still advertising on Morning Joe on MSNBC as of this mo Ning.

Don't lie about your choice just make it and tell people why.

My point exactly. Has the PC culture hit USAA?

The reason why advertisers are pulling ads has to do specifically with Hannity talking about the murder conspiracy of the Rich family. It wasn't just for the sake of political leanings.

Which Hannity kept doing even after Rich's parents begged him to stop. That's what sparked the outrage and advertiser boycott.
