Is there a list somewhere of companies that advertise on Fox News? Or is this a fool’s errand and the answer is everyone?

As is probably self evident, I would like to check if there are companies I should cut out of my financial life.

You might want to be selective about who you boycott. Pfizer is on the list.

Thanks.

I’m not worried about Pfizer, it’s the P&G and Amazon that will be difficult. I usually buy P&G laundry detergent on Amazon!

So are you going to boycott them or immediately give up on the idea due to the first road bump of inconvenience?

That’s a bit hostile don’t you think?  
I’m researching my options.

Just genuinely as curious, sorry if it came off as hostile though.

FWIW, some explicitly anti-Trump advertisers like the Lincoln Project and the Biden campaign have also bought time on the channel.

I wouldn’t boycott a company for trying to advertise on Fox unless I knew more about their political positions. A company that’s just trying to market a product is not necessarily going to draw my ire; a company that explicitly supported Trump, on the other hand…

There’s a reason I stopped drinking Yuengling and Samuel Adams beers.

That’s good advice, but I’ve opened a bit of a personal pandoras box. I’ve been thinking I should reduce/eliminate use of amazon for a while now, so this might just be the straw.

Is it worth checking who advertises during the worst of their programming, as a way of prioritizing?

Also, it seems like it would be most effective with some kind of movement where people perhaps cancel their Prime subscription in association with it and announce that, or sign on saying they have, so Amazon knows why they are losing customers (as an example).

The Lincoln project’s sole reason for existence was to troll Agent Orange and Fox was the place to do it.

That sums up my feelings exactly.
