Exactly how did CNN lobby advertisers to remove their ads? Cause nothing in the link you provided even remotely suggests that.

Exactly how did CNN lobby advertisers to remove their ads? Cause nothing in the link you provided even remotely suggests that.
Why was CNN so concerned about whose ads are running on Alex Jones' (AJ) channel? And why did CNN feel the need to "contact" them for comment? "Even remotely"? LOL. Did they do this to anyone else? Or just to AJ because they don't like him and feel he's some kind of threat?
This is, of course, separate from them haranguing Facebook about why AJ was allowed on their platform. CNN obviously had a hard-on for AJ, and they got what they wanted...for now. The irony being the fakest faker of the MSM trying to shut someone down they believe is a faker. Considering the TW/AT&T merger and how much ad revenue they potentially bring to the socials, CNN has plenty of leverage.
I think I'll make a donation to AJ today. I never watched or listened to him, but I think I'll throw a few bucks his way. This is disturbing to me on many levels. I'd feel pretty much the same way if this was being done to Young Turks or anyone like that. I don't agree with much of what they have to say, but I believe they have a right to say it. Let the market decide.

Or could it be that Alex Jones and InfoWars are the most well known and notorious conspiracy website on the internet? And, that Facebook has been making a major effort to reduce the amount of false information it hosts? I find it laughable that anyone would think that CNN asking Facebook about their hosting of Alex Jones' stuff is evidence of some sort of effort to get him banned. It's a legitimate news story. They were simply doing their jobs.
Probably because they found out a story might be there due to the fact that they found out that advertisers didn't know how their dollars were being spent. Specially on such a controversial site or channel. Which in itself seems kind of odd that companies weren't aware of where their ads played. But to claim as you did that they lobbied those companies to remove those ads based of the article you posted is completely false. So unless you have other info you failed to provide, you're putting out fake news by making said claim.
There's a special place in hell for Alex Jones going on about Sandy Hook kids' deaths being a hoax. And as for his supporters, if there are parents among them? For shame. For shame!
Alex Jones is the kinda guy who, when he shows up at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter reaches down down down down down... and tugs on the long long long long long tail of the devil down there stokin' the fires of hell and he says "This one's yours, pal: he seems to have got lost trying to get back home."
But just in case there's no special place in hell for Alex Jones, I hope Sandy Hook survivors sue hell out of him.

Pull it up on App Store. You cant.
Good look right before the iPhone event, Apple.
And the tariff threatening rhetoric, threatening to pass along a price increase to US customers for Trump admin’s tariff plan.
This is getting gross. And i dont think this will be the last of it.
O Captain! My Captain Steve! Where art thou? The ship is getting leaky.
Oh dude, that made my mind up for sure... about your state of mind.
Dude, I so hope you are just a troll and not serious about this nonsense.
