Fox News faces advertiser boycott threat after piece on Moore accuser

Fox News is under fire after this piece on Friday linking one of Judge Roy Moore’s accusers to the Hillary Clinton campaign:

One of the women accusing Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual impropriety reportedly worked as a sign language interpreter for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, a new report claims. https://t.co/y0uoKrHx4j

The piece had no byline:

Whoever ordered this up at @FoxNews ought to have the guts to be on the byline. #ALSen pic.twitter.com/omk8bNo2fd

Also, of the 4 accusers, this is the one that painted Moore in the best light. Now they want to say she’s lying?

This woman told WaPo “nothing bad happened” between them. If she’s lying, why was her story so innocent? https://t.co/XZxUWTiyze

The Left, as you’d imagine, is furious over it:

Fox News is disgusting https://t.co/I5ob50Z5e2

Do you think any of the Fox reporters who whined impotently to @oliverdarcy that Fox’s Russia coverage made them want to quit will now quit over Fox’s efforts to smear pedophilia victims? https://t.co/zBY2ATOrP2

What’s possibly worse for Fox News is that liberals are planning a boycott of the network’s advertisers over it:

I'm going to add all of @FoxNews' advertisers to the #GrabYourWallet list and we're all going to call and email and Tweet at every single one of them until they no longer advertise with that media outlet. https://t.co/OZyoiAwEUr
