It’s time for conservatives to get like liberals with boycotting chanels and their sponsors when someone goes off on a tanget like Martin Bashir did. Bayer-Aleve will continue to advertise on MSNBC (and likely Martin Bashir’s show) even after he called for people to pee and shit in Sarah Palin’s mouth. When contacted by Truth Revolt, Bayer responded with a typical boilerplate brush response.
Given the wide diversity of media today and wider range of public opinion on any given issue, it would be an impossible task to find a major television network whose entire programming schedule appeals to all audiences. Bayer, like any advertiser who purchases large packages of advertising time, runs the risk of having an occasional ad run on a network that broadcasts programming that may be seen as offensive. Please note that any opinions or views expressed by the network’s news programs or their hosts are solely that of the network, and do not necessarily reflect those of Bayer. Bayer does not play a role in defining network opinions nor do we have any preview to opinions that will be expressed prior to airing.
We appreciate the opinions you have expressed. While there may always be reasonable differences over what constitutes acceptable programming, we do try to exercise good judgment in selecting networks on which to advertise. Please be assured that we will share your feedback with our Media Buying group.
All Bayer products need to be boycotted.
