Why are so many company's acting as activists...Hannity said he should be presumed innocent until proven guilt; isn't this the 6th amendment?

I get not liking Moore, or Hannity or Fox news but pulling your ad, over an accusation?

Pdotecting your brand image is not being an activist. Fox isnt entitled to advertisers money.

Also, hannity is a fucking moron and has been for a long time.

Smashing yourbkuerig in no way harms the company, you already gave them your money. It just makes you look stupid.

Fuck 'em, K-Cups are bad for the environment anyway.

I don't think you understand Keurig's business model.

Does anyone have a quote of what Hannity said? One article said something like he said we should not rush to a conclusion on the Senator. Was there more that started this? That sounds like sound advice on any accusation.

"Also, hannity is a fucking moron and has been for a long time."

I like him and watch his show frequently. He appears to be smarter than you're.

;-P

Tucker Carlson is good too.

I understand it completely. They operate the same as printer companies. The machine is cheap as hell and the k cups cost a lot. Any fiscally smart person, as conservatives often tout themselves, would not be buying the expensive k cups. They would buy a cheap reusable one. Therefore, they arent giving the company any more $.

Also, kuerig tasts like brown water.

I read a quote of him saying that the activity between moore and the 14 year old was consensual. (If it happened)

Again, hes a fucking idiot.

I was traveling that day and listened to the entire interview. No such thing was said, but I’d expect nothing less from a fucking idiot like you.

So you're so bad at picking decent k-cups that you're blaming the tool rather than the user. Go eat a nice steak, your critical reasoning skills are broken.

How do you possibly tell, know the truth, except -- OK, so the two other girls were older in this case. He was apparently, like, 32, and he dated -- one girl was 18, one girl was 17. They never said he did -- there was no sexual -- there was kissing involved, and then they're saying this one encounter with a 14-year-old --
MCLAUGHLIN: And it was consensual --
HANNITY: And consensual, that's true. And there's -- I just -- I don't know how you find out the truth.

The quote is in the article linked to in the op. You must have missed that part. It sas his program director that interjected it.

When it comes to sexual abuse I'm glad people are speaking up and naming names. I wonder when things will go too far and people will be presumed guilty simply because of an accusation.

Who is the fucking idiot here?

Where or when did Ray Moore say he even knew the 14 year old girl let alone had a sexual relationship with her?

But hey, you and the other fucking idiot are doing a pretty good job of making it sound like he admitted to something he has categorically denied.

But yeah, with him about to put another blow in the Washington Establishment machine, it's no surprise that both sides of the isle are attacking him and that these came to surface just prior to the election. Call me a skeptic.

How does one prove he didn't do something?

I don't play golf, but maybe a gun would do?

No one on the show said Moore had a consensual relationship with a 14 year old.

As others have pointed out, a 14 year can not consent to sexual relations.

The discussion of consent was with regards to women he did see socially. Some who may have been 18 or 19 years old. You know, adults, be it young adults but adults.

As far as moving the goal posts, IDTS, I believe I was pretty clear about referring to the 14 year old about the consent, which is what Vagina was saying. But please provide one statement where Moore said he knew let alone had a consensual relationship with a 14 year old.

Was this an auto-correct or did you purposely type it? If it is auto-correct, I need to be sure I'm careful next time I'm in Minneapolis and tell my wife that I'm meeting Veganerd for lunch?

But hey, the timing on these allegations is pure confidence, right!

Curious... So you would vote for Roy Moore and think all these detailed allegations (a 5th came forward today) are simply a well-timed political hatchet job and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy?

Do you have a daughter?

Your smarter than this.

Hahahaha

He just likes to poke fun, I Think hes just a little sensitive about it since one of the richest and most well known men in Las Vegas is vegan and as a result, vegas has quite good vegan food. It must put me at the forefront of his mind constantly ;)

Had nothing to do with the 14 year old. It was a free standing paragraph, with no context but it did follow a paragraph where the 14 year old was referenced.

But hey, the timing on these allegations is pure confidence, right!

The timing of the allegations makes perfect sense. When people rise to power they are far more likely to be investigated, that's the way things go. You would expect for example, the the life of a factory worker wouldn't come under the same scrutiny as the President of the U.S. Moore is close to becoming a Senator, so investigations into his personal life including prior accusations and cover ups are going to come to light.

It does beg the question though and that is why on earth would you defend him?

No, I live in Nevada, I can't vote for him.

The timing of all these coming out do make me suspicious of their credibility.

I have no idea how nice or mean this guy is.

Not that I know of, not that it's any of your business.

Do you have a daughter?

Regardless of where people stand on this, that's a cheap shot. It's one that, if I recall correctly, CruseVegas has used on me when I questioned why people were so fixated on who uses which restroom. It was an inappropriate and misguided question then, and it is here.

I don't go to cnn websites, for one I don't want to be part of their traffic, second, I don't give them much credit as a "news source".

For every conservative who destroys their coffee maker, two liberals will now step up and buy one. We have one but use refillable cups to help the environment in a tiny way rather than use disposables which from what I'm reading here is not their business model. I don't think this will hurt their sales at all, in fact, they may even see a short blip upwards.

that's funny because I nearly said "if you can bear to open a CNN story" but thought no one is that closed minded

kind of sums up your position based on party political lines.

maybe you can dien to find another source you're willing to read

I bet writing that made you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. smh

You may be right about a bump in sales.

You are likely aware that Keurig became the focus of some media attention over the weekend related to a tweet issued from our official Twitter account on Friday. The tweet announced the withdrawal of advertising from “Hannity” in response to comments made on his program last week that were viewed as controversial by many of our consumers. This is to provide you with full transparency on the situation, our lessons learned and our path forward.
Like most consumer-oriented companies, Keurig’s media purchases are driven by delivery of ratings for our target consumer audience. We also have a defined set of programming guidelines to ensure we deliver our advertising in the right programming environment and protect our brand from objectionable content.
The fact is, our consumer demographics match well with live news programming, which is why we advertise on nearly all cable news channels, ranging from MSNBC to Fox to CNN, all of which will continue. However, given the dynamic nature of news, we always need to evaluate that programming environment on a real-time basis.
The catalyst for the current situation was commentary made by Sean Hannity on his TV and radio programs last week, which sparked a significant number of consumer complaints directed to us as advertisers on his TV program. Hannity himself later apologized for his comments in his own tweet: “As I said on TV tonight, I apologize when I misspoke and was not totally clear earlier today.”
In most situations such as this one, we would “pause” our advertising on that particular program and reevaluate our go-forward strategy at a later date. That represents a prudent “business as usual” decision for us, as the protection of our brand is our foremost concern. However, the decision to publicly communicate our programming decision via our Twitter account was highly unusual. This gave the appearance of “taking sides” in an emotionally charged debate that escalated on Twitter and beyond over the weekend, which was not our intent.
I want you to know the decision to communicate our short-term media actions on Twitter was done outside of company protocols. Clearly, this is an unacceptable situation that requires an overhaul of our issues response and external communications policies and the introduction of safeguards to ensure this never happens again. Our company and brand reputations are too valuable to be put at risk in this manner.
The nature of social media and the internet news environment is that stories like this explode, and generally do not disappear quickly. Given the circumstances, we wanted to reach out and communicate with you directly so you understood our position and the protocols we have in place.
I apologize for any negativity that you have experienced as a result of this situation and assure you that we will learn and improve going forward. As we all know, the external environment is changing rapidly. We need to dial-up our speed and responsiveness to stay ahead of these developments and we will.

This is sort of the right-wing version of the "primal scream." Yes, let's throw a little tantrum on an appliance.

Nail on the head.

Lefties are snowflakes!!!

Um, righties are too.

Nothing makes me chuckle more than one side chastising the other side for something that they are also guilty of.

I want to know when these hannity snowflakes are going to start smashing their volvos for also pulling their ads. Heres a chance to show their commitment!

Speaking of commitment, remeber when that fucking idiot hannity promised to get waterboarded for charity as a stunt to show how non torturous it was? Hes such a snowflake

Fuck 'em, K-Cups are bad for the environment anyway.

There are both a reusable cup and compost-friendly cups. But yea, the original plastic cups are bad.

Our local waste management company recently told people to stop throwing the compost friendly ones in with the compost because it was too difficult for them to easily identify which were which so they all end up in waste anyway.

I must admit I got a chuckle over your Trumpesque dismissal of all things CNN being fake news.

I’m a Boulder liberal and I try to avoid CNN too. It’s not that it’s fake news it’s just over the top headlines and everything written like there should be three exclamation points after it. I don’t need the extra drama. It reads like a tabloid.

I now try to give my traffic to CBS News, ABC News, NBC News, BBC and NYTimes.

The headline writers for both CNN and FOX seem to be heavily invested in anti anxiety med companies and use their jobs to pump their investments.

I now try to give my traffic to CBS News, ABC News, NBC News, BBC and NYTimes.

I was watching CNN this morning and it showed the long drawn out introductions in the Sessions Congressional hearing. The introductions were nothing but hot air and it was going to take at least a full hour.

I turned the station to Al Jazeera and heard about the earthquake in Iran/Iraq, an in-depth look at the situation going on between Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, an analysis of the involvement of Iran in Lebanon and Yemen, a story about Italy failing to qualify for the World Cup, a story about the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar a quick story about the latest Moore allegation and a note that Sessions was being questioned by Congress.

In other words, one is an actual news channel and the other is CNN.

Dammit, I just remembered I have a broken Keurig in my garbage trailer - it IS good for something. I can sell it to a Hannity fan! Likely get $10 out of it!

For the opposite reason people like CrusVegas skewered Bill Clinton for the unproven (yet equally as believable and damning) assault allegations against him, save for the admitted affair with Lewinsky — convenient, tribal, brainless political stances where the party is more important than principle. It’s the same blah, blah, blah bullshit spewed from the bullhorn.

Isn't Rush the guy who got caught with a bottle of viagra visiting a country known for teenage prostitutes with a bunch of other old guys? I guess that would make him an authority on the issue.

I don't get my coffee from a tiny cup full of stale, concentrated, overrated coffee. I brew mine from grounds and sometimes from coffee beans I grind myself. As such, I have no K-coffee machine to smash up.

Not that I would smash it just because of something that happened to Fox News, I haven't watched that programing in years, almost as long as I have been ignoring CNN but not nearly as long as I have been ignoring MSNBC.
