Advertisers Begin to Pull Ads From Fox News' 'Hannity'
Sean Hannity has lost two advertisers - Cars.com and Peloton - presumably over his coverage of Seth Rich, a Democratic National Committee staffer who was murdered a year ago.
Cars.com did not respond to a request for comment, though it issued a statement to BuzzFeed saying that after "watching closely" it has decided it will no longer advertise on Hannity, the conservative host's show on the Fox News Channel.
Peloton, a purveyor of exercise bikes, tweeted its decision directly to Hannity, Fox News and others: "We directed our media agency to stop advertising on Sean Hannity's show. This will take a few days to take effect."

Not sure if this was covered yet.

Cars.com is in terrible shape. The company that owned them was sold to some loser company and renamed it TEGNA. They killed the Cars stock price and now they are looking to spin it off or something.
Peloton is a $2K exercise bike that requires a $40 a month subscription to even use it. It has shady reviews on Amazon so I would guess sales are not that great to allow for large media buys.
