Sky News host Andrew Bolt says anonymous far-left activist group Sleeping Giants refuses to engage in debate, resorting to ‘shouting people down’ and ‘trying to silence them’. Research conducted by Sky News in February on the most active participants in the advertiser boycott campaign found that a single user was responsible for 43 per cent of the activity, and eight out of the ten most engaged accounts were anonymous.
Some brands have succumbed to the online campaign by withdrawing their advertising from Mr Bolt’s program, including private health fund NIB. Mr Bolt shared correspondence from a viewer who explained that those supporting free speech ‘can be an activist too’, and closed their NIB account in response to the company's decision. Mr Bolt shares his ongoing experience with the group and its attempts to silence him and other free speech supporters by targeting advertisers.

They’re sleeping alright, 🤣 bring-it, shitheads! 🤷♂️ Safe schooled bogans.
Sleeping Giants = one bitter person angry at the world because they made poor life decisions and want to blame others
The type of people engaged in this smear campaign are socialism loving freeloaders and can't afford the products that these advertisers are selling anyway. The advertisers pay for a Sky News ad and get social media advertising thrown in for free. Thanks slpng_giants_oz!
Brown shirts Just like fascist Germany
Amazingly corporates take notice of a bunch of old uni professors tweeting on work time. We need to fight back
That’s the loonie left
This is becoming an increasing problem, and the government aren't going to solve this problem by appeasing people or by putting their heads in the sand. Bullying is not ok. Not by a person, not by an organisation. Not by ANTIFA by any other name, either! EnoughIsEnough
LOL! They have me blocked.
If Sky News hasn't worked this out already....they deserve to lose. Better the fight the war, not run away likthe french
Marxists Sleeping Giants and Get-up - Free speech denialists 👎😡 auspol
Service,quality & price sells a product! And marketing & doing business have no morals, so what’s the problem?
slpng_giants_oz “far left” ? Bullshit! Amazing how when you don’t agree with the Sky after 6PM clique your “far left”. How the f..k is Sleeping Giants “far left”? Answer? ANYBODY who disagrees with the Sky after 6pm mob has to be far left cause they’re so bloody far far right!
If advertisers knew how low Sky after Darks rating are they wouldn't waste their money. Peppa Pig gets higher ratings than Credlin, Bolt and Murray are lucky to get 50,000 viewers on a good night and a lot of that is at work places like airports etc.
Since when have any of Sky News' content contributors wanted to engage in debate? Seriously! Group think rules.
Always the tolerant ones.
'far-left' 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🙃
