| Keurig Backing Down: Coffee Company Admits Public Decision To Pull Ads From Hannity Created 'Unacceptable Situation' |
| 2017-11-14 |
| [DAILYWIRE] On Monday, Keurig CEO Bob Gamgort issued a memorandum to employees denouncing his own company’s Twitter announcement that it had pulled advertising from Sean Hannity’s television program on Fox News. That advertising pullout came in the wake of an astroturfed campaign from Media Matters based on false allegations that Hannity expressed support for child molestation and had attacked sexual assault accusers. The pullout led to a massive backlash on Twitter, where Keurig owners began smashing their machines and announcing that they would boycott the company. |

| #15 I just got 40 cups of the Black Rifle AK-47, so I guess I'll just wait awhile to crush my Keurig. |

| #11 Remember when you could go to the movies and be entertained without worrying about politics? Remember when you could just have a cup of coffee and not worry about who sold it to you or what the founder said about the president? Maybe I was just not as aware of these things back then as I am now. But it's like walking in the back yard when the dog poop hasn't been scooped for a while and it's really tiresome. Why can't we just get back to doing business? |

| #7 John Q, I listened to that interview and how anyone could think Hannity expressed support for child molestation or attacked sexual assault accusers is delusional. |

| #6 Companies act like this because they fear a lib onslaught. If they also feared a backlash to their actions by the rest of us, maybe they’d keep their virtue-signaling mouths shut. |

| #4 That advertising pullout came in the wake of an astroturfed campaign from Media Matters based on false allegations that Hannity expressed support for child molestation and had attacked sexual assault accusers. MM behind pulling the ads. David Brock, Democratic Alliance, George Soros, Tom Steyer, the Center for American Progress and John Podesta, a part of MM, ought to be enough to tell anyone what's going on. Where's my Keurig and hammer? |

| #3 To late. A big hammer and gas fixed the issue. And “Painfully mediocre coffee — for only $50 a pound!” As seen in the footage, one user put sparklers in their machine and then threw it in a pool. |

| #2 If the company goal is to sell as many units of stuff to as many people as possible You must be thinking of Chinese companies, or something |

| #1 Nothing in the memo that says Keurig is backing down. CEO Bob says they need to change their internal policies and procedures so they don't step on their corporate dick again so publicly. But nothing about continuing to advertise on Hannity's show. If the company goal is to sell as many units of stuff to as many people as possible, it is insane to choose sides on some social issue which will piss off half your customers. Sure, you can sit at the cool kidz table if you have the right policies and mission statement, but the remaining half of your customer base isn't going to buy twice as much stuff. |
