Well newspaper companies are kind of special, no? They very often have vocal and official slants.
But I think it's questionable if beverage or kitchen appliance companies should align themselves with a political party. That will by definition alienate some customers. And historically I have a hard time of seeing this prior to the last 10 or so years.
- eesmith 6y agoThat was simply the clearest, least controversial example I could think of. I seemed to have missed this controversy - what are you talking about with beverage companies aligning themselves with a political party? In any case, Coors seems like an appropriate historical example, what with the Coors family involvement in CO and conservative politics, and the long boycott against Coors - https://www.cpr.org/2014/10/03/the-coors-boycott-when-a-beer-can-signaled-your-politics/ https://www.cpr.org/2014/10/03/the-coors-boycott-when-a-beer...
