Have you heard the Babbel language learning ads on the radio? Maybe you’ve even seen them on TV. Perhaps you saw the Babbel ads while watching the top-rated Tucker Carlson show on Fox News? Well, you won’t be seeing ads for the online language courses on Tucker Carlson’s show anymore. The Babbel USA company made one of the most business killing tweets we’ve seen in a long time. Today, Babbel reached out to a small portion of their audience (they only have 1,800 people who follow them on Twitter) to let them know they will no longer be spending their ad dollars on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson’s show.
Here is their business-killing tweet:
If you saw our ad on Tucker Carlson’s show, you’re right to be upset. We are too. While we did place our ad with Fox, we did not know it would air on a show so repugnant and at odds with our mission and values. We are blacklisting the show going forward. We are deeply sorry.

Babbel was immediately blasted for their ignorant pandering to liberals on social media.
Thanks for letting me know to avoid your company at all costs. I don’t do business with cowards.
That’s funny because I’m blacklisting any future purchase of your products. Get woke, go broke.
It’s clear you also think the millions of hard-working Americans who watch Tucker’s show are repugnant as well This is a contemptible tweet, @BabbelUSA, and the disrespect you’ve shown conservatives will not be forgotten soon
Conservatives who are looking for a language learning app should check out @duolingo – which I have used and can vouch for!
If you’re looking for a good alternative to the formerly popular Babble online language service, we hear Duolingo is a pretty good option. duolingo.com They can also be found on Twitter at this link: @duolingo
