The USAA financial services firm says it is reinstating its advertising on Sean Hannity’s Fox News Channel program after receiving heavy criticism from many of the military members and veterans that it serves.
The company said Tuesday it will also start advertising again on other programs where it had suspended its ads, including Hardball and The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC, and Jake Tapper’s The Lead on CNN.
USAA was one of 10 companies that had pulled ads from Hannity, who had been attacked for reporting a discredited story involving the death of a Democratic National Committee staff member last year. Hannity has said he will no longer talk about conspiracy theories on Seth Rich’s death.
USAA said it is continuing the commercials while reviewing its overall advertising policy.
