Sean Hannity erupted in an all-caps Twitter tirade Sunday, targeting CNN's Brian Stelter for hosting an interview with Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters for America and the organizer of a campaign to get advertisers to abandon Hannity's Fox News program.
Major advertisers from Keurig and IHOP to Nature's Bounty and Ford have all pulled advertising from "Hannity" over his defense of U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Knowing his job security at Fox is directly related to the ad revenue he pulls in, Hannity was not pleased Sunday that Stelter, CNN's chief media critic, was giving Carusone airtime to talk about the boycott.
Zuckers @CNN gives a platform and pass to a known racist, anti Semitic bigot. Mmfa record is atrocious as they are the most anti free speech, pro censorship group in America. This is why so few people watch #FakeNewsCNN tick tock... https://t.co/177yzUKTWc

Jeff Zucker's @CNN allows known racists, anti-semites, trans/gay homophobes and victim shamers on air. Are you aware? https://t.co/jQ33QCnEpv

For about a week, Hanntiy has baselessly called Carusone a "racist" and "trans/gay homophobe," even though Carusone himself is gay and the organization he heads, Media Matters, often champions causes of racial minorities.
Here is the interview Hannity does not want you to see:
