Over the weekend, Hollywood producer Judd Apatow had a scathing criticism of Fox News host Tucker Carlson who, according to Apatow, should lose advertisers because of his allegedly hateful rhetoric.
Hey @pfizer – what does it say about your company and your moral positions if you advertise on @tuckercarlson’s show? He and @FoxNews get rich off of dividing our country and spewing lies and hate at immigrant communities who are just trying to survive. Maybe choose another show.

Hey @subaru_usa – why would you continue to advertise on @TuckerCarlson’s show when he spews so much racism and hate? How does that reflect the values of your company? There must be other shows you can advertise on which are not destructive to our country.

Apatow specifically targeted Pfizer and Subaru for supporting Carlson and retweeted a long list of other advertisers for Carlson’s show.
Apatow, as IJR has previously noted, has vehemently criticized President Donald Trump and made an inflammatory statement of his own.
He’s a Nazi. He wants no judicial process. He kidnapped children and commits acts of violence for political gain and to support his racist views.He admires violent dictators. Trump is a Nazi. The debate is over. Soon we will have proof he is a Nazi supported by the Russians. https://t.co/o4cS2iWzvS
