If people don't like what he says, they can show it with their wallets.

He refused to stop promoting that fake Seth Rich story, even after FOX retracted the story and the family begged him to.

Don't pretend that people on the right never start any boycotts.

Target, McDonalds, Starbucks, Lowe’s, Pay Pal, and General Mills have all been hit with boycotts from the right.

And abrupt vacation? It is memorial day.

No problem though. Alternative methods of these "personalities" able to voice their opinions is quickly emerging. It has no sponsors so lefties won't be able to issues threats and boycotts when they are against free speech.

So i agree it is the free market at work. But the free marker it changing in terms of media. The old tricks the left used to pull will no longer be effective. This is a fight the left has pursued for years Back in the late 90's the left wanted to stifle free speech with a return to the fairness doctrine. That failed miserably. Next, they hada the failed attempt at Air America. As you say people voted with their wallets and that failed miserably. Next, the left turned to propaganda an boycotts in an attempt to shut down conservative voices. But, thanks to places like Amazon Fire, Smart TVs and Apps, you can now subscribe directly to guys like Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, and others. Levin is doing fine. And the beauty is there is nothing to boycott. The same goes for networks. With the internet I can stream any news service I want and I pay a fraction of what i paid for cable or direct TV.
