Laura Ingraham on the bubble. |
Fox News resident cuntservative Laura Ingraham is now under fire. Her little jab at Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg has earned her an advertising boycott.
So far there has been 10 major companies that severed ties with her.
It all started from her saying that Hogg was "whining" about not being accepted to some of California's universities.
David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA...totally predictable given acceptance rates.) https://t.co/wflA4hWHXY— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) March 28, 2018
Hogg fired back. He decided to fight smart.

He asked for people to gather up all her advertisers and make the appropriate calls. He asked for companies to sever ties from Ingraham.
Ingraham quickly apologized for her poor choice of words. She said in the spirit of Holy week, she will apologize.
Any student should be proud of a 4.2 GPA —incl. @DavidHogg111. On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland. For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David...(1/2)— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) March 29, 2018
... immediately after that horrific shooting and even noted how "poised" he was given the tragedy. As always, he’s welcome to return to the show anytime for a productive discussion. WATCH: https://t.co/5wcd00wWpd (2/2)— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) March 29, 2018
Not good enough. Hogg said that your apologies are bogus. All she was doing was protecting her bottom line and not being genuine in her apology.
I 100% agree an apology in an effort just to save your advertisers is not enough. I will only accept your apology only if you denounce the way your network has treated my friends and I️ in this fight. It’s time to love thy neighbor, not mudsling at children. https://t.co/H0yWs4zMGk— David Hogg (@davidhogg111) March 29, 2018
Ten major companies bounced from The Ingraham Angle.
Now we are seeing the destruction of another figure in the right wing media.
Who's next?
We are seeing the destruction of Laura Ingraham. Her attacks on David Hogg has now sparked an advertiser boycott. She is on the bubble. Now who will be the conservative agitator to fall?
Now will you guys demand Ingraham apologize to LeBron James and Kevin Durant?
