Don't understand progressives defending @TuckerCarlson against advertiser pull-out. I agree advertisers should't influence content (even though they do across media) but Carlson's hate speech should't be confused w/ free speech. If he wants to push bigotry, there are consequences

and it's an advertisers right to boycott their show if they don't want their product or brand attached to that. Carlson has the right to spew his hatred--advertiser has the right to pull out. I would disagree if they were pulling out for something like he joined the Israel BDS
