The Media Research Center is continuing its selectively factual attack on insurance company USAA for dropping its ads from Sean Hannity’s Fox News show.
First, Tim Graham complained that a USAA ad appeared on “wild-eyed MSNBC” about a month ago, which he insists contradicts USAA’s stated explanation that its Hannity ads were dropped because it doesn’t advertise on opinion shows. Two hours later, Graham wrote another post about another USAA ad on MSNBC two months ago.
How many people does the MRC have scouring MSNBC archives looking for random USAA ads? A lot, we’re guessing. So far, all that searching has found exactly three over the past two-plus months (here’s the third), which one can argue is within ad-booking error.
Needless to say, none of Graham’s posts about USAA mention the salient reason why there is an ad boycott against Hannity: his embrace of discredited, malicious conspiracy theories about the death of Seth Rich.
If Graham keeps up his selectively factual attack, the MRC will continue to lose credibility, and the Trump defense campaign will self-destruct.
