WaTimes: Fox News’ official Twitter account hasn’t tweeted in four days, signaling a boycott against the social networking site for its handling of leftist activists doxing Fox prime-time anchor Tucker Carlson, according to several reports.
In an internal memo last week obtained by Business Insider, Fox News managing editor Greg Wilson instructed the entire digital team to “please refrain from tweeting out our content from either section accounts or your own accounts until further notice.”
The news comes amid reports by Tribune Media content manager Scott Gustin executives from “the highest level” at Fox News order a company blackout on Twitter as a form of protest for the site’s handling of leftist activists publishing Mr. Carlson’s address.
Mr. Carlson’s home was recently targeted by antifa activists with the group Smash Racism DC in a confrontation that is being investigated by D.C. police as a politically motivated hate crime. Videos of the incident posted by the group were deleted by Twitter, but tweets of Mr. Carlson’s personal information remained active for some time, Mr. Gustin said. MORE
How long is that going to last, though?
Hey Fox, where was the boycott when MAGA fans were getting assaulted and shot at?
Just sayen, if some rat bastard would have called my daughter those names, I would have killed him. Clean up, aisle three.
It’s time for an embargo on those twits and on the NPCs at Facebook.
Trump could start his own media site and put them out of business.
Could not pay me to go back to twitter. It’s nothing but a cesspool of hate
I’m just waiting to here about one or more of these assholes getting themselves killed by messing with the wrong hombre. It’s just a question of time.
Faux boycotting Twatter? That’s a “man bites dog” different type of news story. About time a major organization did it. Hopefully more and more people and organizations will boycott that cesspool.
Based on the name alone, the business motto should be “Twitter. Created by fags, for fags.”
Did you tweet? Tee-hee….
After four days of nobody noticing, Fox had to tell us they’re boycotting Twitter. Brilliant, Fox lawyers. You couldn’t think of any actual legal action to take?
Twitter – Socialist Group Think for the new Millennia!
My thought, too, Thirdtwin. It’s like “I’m taking my ball home!”, but there are 20 other balls to play with. How does this ‘hurt’ Twitter????
And now Twitter won’t have to police their site in order to delete or hide content from Fox that they don’t want.
Does anyone else notice Fox leaning further left lately?
“And now Twitter won’t have to police their site in order to delete or hide content from Fox that they don’t want.”
…you can’t say “police”, @Claudia, Twitter would have to delete it because, racism or something.
…unless you say “Fuk Da” BEFORE you say “police”. THAT, Twitter is 100% OK with…
“…unless you say “Fuk Da” BEFORE you say “police”. THAT, Twitter is 100% OK with…”
…and “tone police”. They’re good with that, too.
@flip:”Does anyone else notice Fox leaning further left lately?”
lately?
FOX and other major companies don’t even need Twitter. Especially if they have TV and radio to back them up. Does Proctor and Gamble need to be on Twitter? As if we don’t remember to buy shampoo and pantyliners with or without wings on our own? Does Pepsi need Twitter?
No one in the entire world says, “I’m thirsty for soda but I can’t remember who sells what I like…” Yeah, only 3 beverage companies on this planet but they need Twitter or else you’ll forget all about them? Come on.
I would like to comment on the content on FNC and FBN. I am speaking of positive and sometimes negative repsonces. But, I will NOT use FB, Twitter, Snapchat or any social media to do it. The social media sites are as evil and dastardly as the democrats.
Be a real rebel – one with a cause. Quit using twatter, facebootie, and doodle.
