Like Wiener, how about waiting until it goes to court?

I'd forgotten about that. That was very interesting that he regrets his invention. Not only are the machines junk, the K-cups aren't recyclable, and that's anathema today.

Hey hey hey!

The machines are great. I am not going to let politics get in the way of a good cup of joe.

Unlike most on this thread, I actually watch Hannity every night. He cautioned against the rush to judgment and gave examples of many high profile cases where people were lighting torches getting ready to lynch someone but the evidence came in later proving them wrong. He didn't say Moore was innocent or guilty, just that it remains to be seen as more evidence comes in. He was fair and also had attorneys on with differing viewpoints.

Hannity has always said Media Matters pays people to sit in their PJs monitoring every word he says, hoping to hear something they can use against him to get him off the air. He and Rush Limbaugh would be big feathers in their caps and justify the high fees MM charges their left wing clients. This isn't a secret. Hannity has survived boycotts before and his listeners and viewers aren't stupid and know how the game is played by now.

I don't use Keurig or any of those pod coffees because it's wasteful packaging, a pet peeve of mine.

This is going to backfire. More people will buy Keurig for standing up against pedophilia.

Companies that pulled ads from Hannity over this weekend include:
  • Keurig
  • Realtor.com
  • 23 and Me
  • Eloquii
  • Nature's Bounty

My question is, why were these companies advertising on this rabble-rouser's program in the first place? I wouldn't buy anything from a company that had ever put commercials on a show like this.

Hannity is not a "scum bag!" He is doing what other media personalities won't do ...accurately report NEWS that the rest of the "mainstream media" ignore, such as the Uranium One scandal, which others refuse to even mention.

On Moore, he has only been saying "we should not be rushing to judgement," but in America, one is presumed innocent until proven guilty. All other Media have proclaimed Moore guilty with no trial, and very little credible evidence, if any.

If you read the article, it says that they do not run ads during Hannity's show. It does not say they "have pulled" ads from that time period. I think this thread is misleading and false.

The article says the advertisers have not run ads during that time slot, not that they have pulled their ads from it.
