Even if his claim were true, he's going to hit the same problem Twitter did: profitability. Twitter doesn't censor because its CEO is some kind of bleeding-heart softie, it censors because advertisers won't engage with it unless it meets a certain reputational standard.
- ThrowawayR2 6y agoI dunno; I'm tempted to turn on Fox News to analyze which companies advertise on there. I suspect advertisers' squeamishness only runs skin deep and they really don't want to give up ad reach to 40+% of the country. [EDIT] Interesting. According to this link (https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/these-are-fox-news-leading-advertisers https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/these-are-fox-news-lea...), very prominent national brands advertise on Fox News, including Verizon, who recently garnered mention for boycotting Facebook ads. Kind of reinforces my hypothesis.
