As much as I like to see O'Reilly suffer, it is annoying how advertisers turn 
to social media consultants (and data science) to quantify the anger towards 
him (or other hot topics) rather than saying "Given the evidence we think 
you’re a scumbag, and we're dropping you" rather than asking if enough of their 
customers or potential customers think he is a scumbag.    It says to me they 
don't care if he is a scumbag, or even guilty; they care if he is radioactive 
and a liability.
