Megyn Kelly has lost “multiple advertisers” over her upcoming interview with “Info Wars” host Alex Jones, according to CNN. But she doesn’t have to worry about Media Matters president Angelo Carusone arranging an advertiser boycott of her program.
“We haven’t even talked to NBC about it yet,” Carusone told TheWrap. “Going after advertisers as an expression of outrage and indignation is not an effective tool or tactic.”
That comment might seem odd coming from Carusone, who has been personally responsible for spearheading successful advertiser boycotts of Donald Trump, Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. But hurting NBC in this instance doesn’t fit his agenda.
