Tucker Carlson may have one of the most watched shows on cable news, but the Fox News Channel host is losing advertisers – again. Whereas in 2018, over 20 companies yanked their ads after Car…

That’s a stark contrast, to put it mildly, to Carlson’s earlier encapsulations of the past two weeks in America.

Those words provoked the Deutsche Telekom AG-owned T-Mobile to respond online that “We haven’t run ads onsince early May and have cancelled all future placements.” The cell phone carrier added: “We will continue to support those who stand against racial injustice.”
