We, at @newslaundry, have been calling out advertisers who fund hate for months and it& #39;s finally showing results.
Awareness is building that even advertiser& #39;s should be held responsible for the content they& #39;re funding.

We started a series called #BloodlustTV with this piece.
If you see here, even govt is giving ads to this channel which out and out spreads hate on a daily basis. https://www.newslaundry.com/2019/10/28/bloodlust-tv-bigotry-on-suresh-chavhankes-sudarshan-news-sponsored-by-the-taxpayer">https://www.newslaundry.com/2019/10/2...

Then came Republic TV& #39;s attempt to twist the Jamia Shooting incident and spread misinformation.
This one had companies like KENT, Air India, Raymond and more sponsoring the entire segment. https://www.newslaundry.com/2020/02/05/jamia-shooting-know-the-companies-that-brought-you-republic-tvs-misinformation-campaign">https://www.newslaundry.com/2020/02/0...

In an unrelated incident, @KentROSystems pulled their ad after facing backlash for being insensitive. They even put out a statement.
The hope is that they apply the same standards to their ads in TV channels. https://twitter.com/KentROSystems/status/1265588494316920832?s=19">https://twitter.com/KentROSys...

Here& #39;s another one. This is Sudhir Chaudhary& #39;s famous & #39;Jihad Chart& #39; which he stole from a bigoted Facebook page.

This one had Renault as a sponsor.
It got some international attention and Renault was called out by @StopFundingHate, @slpng_giants and others for funding this hatemongering. https://www.newslaundry.com/2020/04/23/who-funded-arnab-goswamis-communal-tirade-over-palghar-lynching">https://www.newslaundry.com/2020/04/2...

Reports indicate the Renault has quietly pulled their ads due to them being called out.
Let& #39;s hope Indian brands are also watching what is happening and understanding the consequences. https://twitter.com/MediaScannerIn/status/1265199500429275136?s=19">https://twitter.com/MediaScan...

Now, companies are blocking Opindia for displaying ads on their website too.
Here& #39;s @mubiindia doing what is right.
Check out @StopFundingHate, there are MANY more in there. https://twitter.com/mubiindia/status/1266320788489199617?s=20">https://twitter.com/mubiindia...

Here& #39;s a great instance of calling out advertisers for funding hate.
This is key: We all need to be aware and call out advertisers for funding hateful content. They have a responsibility towards their consumers and us citizens.
Help out wherever you can! https://twitter.com/msnya24/status/1266639832253476865?s=19">https://twitter.com/msnya24/s...
