Tucker is THE most watched show on all of cable network television. Even though he offends different groups at different times, he has a MASSIVE following.... more than double his competitors. Advertisers are getting twice the bang for their buck by airing on his show. So, if a company is not choosing to put their product on his show, it's not because of the lack of views. It's because there is an alternative pressure that's coming from somewhere else. Now, I know you like to believe that it's the people that put pressure on advertisers, but you yourself say that Americans don't successfully boycott anything, right? So, it's not the people that are creating that pressure. Where's it coming from, Marty?

Advertising on Tucker Carlson's show is not a good look.  He offends too many people.  A lot of companies don't want to be associated with the views he expresses.  It's that simple.  There are a million other ways for them to advertise.  There's no reason they would pick his show, with all that controversy.  It's not that there would be any kind of successful, organized boycott.  It's just unnecessary controversy that they don't want to deal with.  Why offend people if you don't have to?  

How would you answer the question you posed?
