CNN Advertiser Pulls Ads After Kathy Griffin’s Beheading Stunt

kathy griffin advertisers

Kathy Griffin had a promotional photo shoot which featured a shameful, fake severed head of President Donald J. Trump. Griffin knew what the reaction would be, and only offered an “apology” after losing a sponsorship and her contract with CNN.

Trump’s 11-year-old son Barron was traumatized by the ordeal, and Secret Service is investigating it as a threat.

Now, due to enormous backlash, the liberal cable news network is about to be hurt financially for their many years of ties to Griffin.

Now, home security company ADTis pulling all ads from CNN. This is exactly how sponsors should treat the network!

Clearly, the fallout for CNN and Kathy Griffin is not over. While it may be popular among elites and advertisers to be anti-Trump, sponsors clearly don’t want to be associated with graphic images depicting the assassinating of America’s president.

Other CNN advertisers should do the same.

What do you think about ADT pulling their ads from CNN? Please leave us a comment (below) and tell us.

  1. It’s time we the public put our foot down against the Liberal Media! They won’t listen to our voice, but now they’re listening to our pocket books! Maybe after they lose billions of dollars in support they will either listen to us or go out of business!

  2. I am pleased that ADT stopped advertising with CNN. I will boycott all advertisers on CNN.
    If they continue to use POS like Griffin they will be out of business.

  3. Good for ADT. I never watch CNN but I will once to see who their sponsors are. And let’s not forget that goofball,Al Frankenstein, upheld this nitwit in this shameful display. The people in Minnesota must have lost their minds.

  4. Kind of like the saga of Tiger Woods and his disgraceful actions. All of his sponsors dropped him and he went into a basic seclusion as his name started dropping from the charts and his golf game went spiraling down into the swamp. Kathy Griffin, “is an artist”, as she calls herself, and “an artist can do whatever they want.” Apparently she is wrong about the last statement. That swamp is mighty deep and she has lost her luster.

  5. This is probably the beginning of a stampede. The whole organization – the execs, producers, writers, editors, on air talent – has gone loco. They are flailing about wildly trying to connect with Trump and his White House on some issue or another. They are just dead certain that a scandal exists somewhere. How could it not? They hate Trump because Trump is such a terrible person. He must have done something wrong, sinful, criminal. This craziness cannot go on. And things that can’t go on eventually end. CNN has a very tenable hold on its demographic. It cannot beat MSNBC at supplying Trump H8 24/7. If you wanna fix a Trump hate where are you goin’?

    And CNN has so many other problems. Poor production values, poor graphics, poor line up. Too many tired old faces (Wolf Blitzer, com’n). Too many jejune and callow faces (Don Lemon, childish brat). It has the ugliest guests and the ugliest hosts. The on air talent is thoughtless, careless, uninspiring, unappealing, stale, ignorant, stupid, mean-spirited, bloody-minded, self-righteous, sanctimonious, indignant, angry, bitter, resentful, lacking in judgment, reason, historical or moral perspective. The ratings stink. They’ve made Jake Tapper, a once fine newsman, into a joke. Jeff Zucker has not a clue how to remedy any of this, yet he is ensconced.

    There will either be a gigantic shake up, starting with the firing of Jeff Zucker, or the cable news net will shutter its doors by year end. I mean, really, how much longer can Time-Warner wear this albatross about its earnings projections? This is public company, for chrissakes.

  6. Any company doing business with ANY of the America-hating fake news liars of cnn, msnbc, abc, cbs and nbc should be considered to be aiding and abetting the enemies of our country and should be boycotted and driven out of business…

  7. YO, WAKE UP! *CNN* NEEDS 2 B TARGETED WITH BOYCOTTS, PERIOD!! & THE REAL WAY 2 SUPPORT *HANNITY* IS 2 MASSIVELY BOYCOTT ALL THE SAME ADVERTISERS, HU DROPPED OUT OF HIS SHOW, PERIOD!! EVEN IF *HANNITY* DOES NOT SUPPORT BOYCOTTS…..WE DO & WE DONT HAV 2 AGREE WITH HIM ON THIS ISSUE! BOYCOTTS DO WORK & LEFT WING FASCISTS WILL NEVER STOP USING THESE TACTICS, PERIOD!! AL& BIKER VETS

  8. I find it interesting that no one is saying how the photographer that took the photo should be punished. They made a little clip in advance and were talking about how people might take this. He is seen on camera. And yet he walks scot free?

  9. Here is the thing, to cut down, make cartoons, bad faces etc has always been a part of expression and free speech. BUT we have countries living in truama , watching loved ones having their heads cut off and to live with that , we have had our own Americans killed in this way, it is barbaric and inhuman, it is not funny and to try to make a joke of it, the subject matter in itself, no respect for those loved ones who live this horrible life. To try to desensitize our country to become like them.. That is insane

  10. THAT’S THE BEST DAMN THING THEY COULD DO. NOW, ALL THE OTHER ADVERTISERS SHOULD FOLLOW SUITE AND DROP CNN LIKE AN ATOMIC BOMB AND PUT THEM COMPLETELY OUT OF BUSINESS WHERE THEY BELONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!….NBC,CBS,ABC, MSNBC YOU ARE NEXT.. THIS COUNTRY DON’T NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!!!!!!!!!

  11. YO, WAKE UP! WE ALL NEED 2 BAND TOGETHER & BOYCOTT *CNN* BIG TIME, PERIOD!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, PERIOD!! RIGHT NOW, *HANNITY* IS BEING ATTACKED BY LEFT WING FASCISTS…..WE NEED 2 DO THE XACT SAME THING, PERIOD!! BOYCOTT THERE ADVERTISERS, PERIOD!! EVEN IF *HANNITY* DOES NOT SUPPORT BOYCOTTS…..WE DO & WE DONT HAV 2 AGREE HIM, ON THIS ISSUE! AL& BIKER VETS

  12. I was forced to see Kathy Griffin life once at an awards show. She was the lowest class “comedian” I have ever seen. She keeps sinking to new levels. I never watch CNN or her so I don’t care what they do, but I would be very happy to see advertisers and Democrats speak up regarding this incredibly disrespectful and inappropriate behavior. Enough is enough. Get over it. You lost the election. Try to help in some small way instead of creating continual drama and bad feelings. Karma gonna getcha!

  13. All advertisers should pull adds from all MSM liberal networks. That way we wont have to listen to their biased media again ever or see pictures that are so outrageous as the one nutjob Kathy published – PERIOD All advertisers should support networks that the American people support and that is FOX and the republican way. No more liberal BS

  15. I own something much more powerful to deal with CNN. It’s remote control. I barely have to move or exert any effort to make them disappear off of my screen.

  16. SCREW THE FREE PRESS, ALL THESE COMMUNIST BASTARDS DO IS REPORT PROPAGANDA NEWS THAT SMART PEOPLE DON’T BELIEVE JUST THE DUMB ASS DEMOCRATS!!!!!! WE USE TO KILL VC IN VIETNAM!!!!!!

  19. Get rid of CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS…. all of the liberal crap networks. If it’s not that thing, Kathy Griffin, then it’s another liberal crap thing. Don’t think those thug protesters, and probably a vast majority of leaders in our country liked that photo. Hey, we didn’t hear any bad remarks about this from Hill, Bill, Barack, Michael, Nancy, Chucky, etc, etc. Did I miss any of their bad remarks to this thing, Griffin?

  22. She thought she was invincible and that the libturd media and sponsors would support her no matter what. Well, it backfired on her and she deserves to lose her job.

  25. I think CNN should be taken off the air. They should have never hired Kathy Griffin in the first place. She is an unstable person. CNN used to be ethical but just like all the others they prefer the negative news which “We the People” are tired of listening to. We put up with not having a President for 8 years, so now that we have one, the least CNN and the rest of the News Media can do is support President Trump. He has done more in a few months than O did in 8 years. Either you like America or you don’t. If you don’t leave.

  30. Griffin & Corrupt CNN will own this one forever…..and good for them ~ Americans are in favor of stopping these idiots ~ Obozo, Hillary and George Soros need to understand that the election is over and Donald Trump is now President Trump ~ So all of the RINOs, Democrats and “has beens” need to get out of the President’s way so he can get some serious business underway without blocking everything that he is attempting to do………

  35. ADT wisely made a great move, to ensure their integrity remains intact. Additionally, ANY advertiser that uses CNN as a marketing source, that does not cease their association with CNN, I will personally boycott. I advise all other to do likewise.

  38. ADT deserves huge applause for having the guts to do this. More companies need to react in the same way & more supposed “stars” should be fired over the hateful vile things they say & do regarding out sitting President. If businesses & individuals continue to take issue & boycott these morons then maybe they will learn to keep their big mouths shut!! I have zero respect for most of Hollywood anymore & refuse to watch any show these morons are in including R. DeNiro, M. Streep, L. Dunham, S. Colbert, R. O’Donnell, A. Schumer, etc., etc., etc.!! My attitude is FIRE every last one of them for their vile conduct!

    Who filmed her episode? Obviously agreed with her. CNN should be punished severely for hiring her.
