Hannity tweeted more than a dozen times Wednesday that “liberal fascists” at Media Matters now were targeting him just as Cars.com became the first advertiser to jump ship. The recent attention being paid to his advertisers, Hannity said in an interview with HuffPost, is an attempt by progressives to silence his conservative voice. This is a kill shot.”Media Matters president Angelo Carusone told HuffPost his organization isn’t pushing for an advertiser boycott. But Hannity said during the broadcast that he would stop speaking about the case at this time out of respect for Rich’s family. Carusone said posting the list of Hannity’s advertisers is “a continuation of that conversation,” and pointed out that Media Matters compiled it through publicly available information.
