The Economist is one of just eight companies that advertise on Al Jazeera. One hundred twenty nine (129) companies have stopped advertising since January 2013. The eight companies that continue to advertise include: Procter and Gamble, The Economist, National Express (Xhose), Guthy Renker (Proactiv), HairClub, Telebrands (Stone Wave Cooker), National Tax Help Center and Swift Maintenance (Flex Seal). Xhose had stopped advertising for several weeks but recently returned to become the eighth advertiser.
Al Jazeera is a news company that is owned by a non-democratic, monarch styled emirate who does not afford citizens freedom of the press, espouses Islamic Sharia law, backs the leader of Hamas and supports the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Economist has the right to choose where they use their advertising dollars. You have the same right to object and choose publications from other companies that won't give your consumer dollars to Al Jazeera. Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to officials at The Economist.
