</div><div><p>Pharmaceutical company Astra Zeneca tweeted Monday that it had ceased

advertising on Carlson’s show and would not resume in the future.

In a statement to The Washington Post this week, Carlson was defiant.

“Media Matters caught me saying something naughty on a radio show more

than a decade ago,” he said. “Rather than express the usual ritual

contrition, how about this: I’m on television every weeknight live for

an hour. If you want to know what I think, you can watch. Anyone who

disagrees with my views is welcome to come on and explain why.”

Fox News Channel spokeswoman Carly Shanahan responded to a request

for comment by resending a December statement on boycott efforts against

Carlson’s show.

“We cannot and will not allow voices like Tucker Carlson to be

censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts from the likes of

Moveon.org, Media Matters and Sleeping Giants,” the December statement

said.</p></div><div>
