#1 "Due to the strong negative reaction to their ad by our viewers, we could not in good conscience take their money," Fox News told Stelter.

Apparently those at CNN are too stupid to figure it out for themselves.

#2 [Tom Steyer], California Donk mega-donor liberal climate change activist Tom Steyer dumped $13 million of his own money into the last election cycle as of March 2016 — probably more by election time.

He must be a little pissed that Hillary blew $1.4 billion only to get beaten by the guy who was never supposed to. She didn't even campaign in Wisconsin. I'm still enjoying the schadenfreude of it all.

#3 Yes, JohnQC, I believe he is more than a little pissed. Have you seen his ad? He is the very definition of unhinged, wound up tighter than a drum and now he's throwing good money after bad. But, hey, it's his money. If I was Fox I'd go ahead and take it.

#4 Someone should convince him to invest in the NFL, buy empty seats and fill them with homeless or something.

#5 AU, that'd make them liable for breaking contract and even if they put it on after midnight with a warning about "this really, really, really is not satire".
rjschwartz, good idea but make sure everyone has had their shots.

#6 Almost, of course if you take the money you must then air the ad. But Steyer looks so uptight and phony that he's doing himself more harm than good. So I say take his money and let him.

#7 "Sign our petition" is just another way of saying "Give us fresh contact information". Someone has to replace the "Harvey Bucks" that will now be directed toward $700/ hour legal fee's to keep his sorry fat ass out of the GreyBar.

#9 "Due to the strong negative reaction to their ad by our viewers, we could not in good conscience take their money," Fox News told Stelter.

Looks like Fox got a few communications from their customer base. Mostly "...I'll watch CNN if I want CNN." "feedback."

Smart businesses don't like to lose base. Too hard to get back.
