Left-wing activist group Media Matters, which previously led the charge to take down former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, is now coming for Sean Hannity.

The powerful left-wing organization is ramping up a pressure campaign against the pro-Trump host’s advertisers. The front page of Media Matters’ website makes clear what the goal is: taking down Hannity.

I'm not a big fan of targeting advertisers to try to knock people off the air.  The talent themselves seem to be doing a good job of it themselves (see O'Reilly and Eric Bolling).  The answer to discussions we find obnoxious isn't to knock people off, rather it's more discussion.  While I don't care for "The View," knocking them off isn't the answer.

Another who burned his bridges.

Looks lonely over there.
