The momentum of the boycott has even sparked conversations about expanding the movement to other networks. “Why stop at CBS?” asked a conservative commentator on X. “Let’s take this fight to every network that doesn’t play fair.”
As the boycott rages on, CBS is scrambling to manage the fallout. In a statement released shortly after the advertiser exodus, CBS defended its debate moderators and pushed back against claims of bias.
“We stand by the integrity of our debate moderators and their commitment to fair journalism,” the network’s statement read. “CBS has always provided a platform for balanced, thoughtful political discussion. We regret that some viewers feel differently, but we will not back down from our journalistic standards.”
Despite their firm stance, it’s clear that CBS is feeling the heat. Behind the scenes, the network is reportedly working to patch things up with advertisers and mitigate the damage. There are whispers that CBS executives are considering scaling back their future political coverage, at least until the election is over, to avoid further backlash.
“We can’t afford to lose more advertisers,” the anonymous CBS insider admitted. “The bottom line is at stake here.”
While political boycotts are often dismissed as fleeting PR stunts, the Vance-led boycott of CBS is proving to have real financial consequences. With six major advertisers already pulling out, the network is likely facing millions in lost revenue — and the potential for more advertisers to follow.
