On Thursday, Laura Ingraham suddenly apologized for insulting and ridiculing school-shooting survivor David Hogg — but only after she began losing advertisers for her Fox News show and under the threat of losing more.
The previous day, Ingraham felt not a twinge of decency when she tweeted an insult about Hogg getting rejections from a number of colleges, sneering that he was whining about it. In response, Hogg called for an advertiser boycott of The Ingraham Angle. By late afternoon, Nestle, Hulu, Wayfair, Johnson & Johnson, Expedia, and TripAdvisor, and others had yanked ads from her show.
Laura Ingraham could not act quickly enough to recant her previous contempt for the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student and had the gall to dress her groveling in the cloak of religion. “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,” she said, and invited Hogg to appear on her show.
Laura Ingraham
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)
Ingraham’s comments attempting to humiliate and silence the Parkland, Fla., student aren’t unusual for her. She kicked off a different #resist movement recently when she told LeBron James to “shut up and dribble.” And hers are not the only offensive comments coming from Fox News personalities. The channel has run deeply cynical “news” segments suggesting that the Parkland students calling for more extensive gun control laws are “political pawns.”

No more Hogg posts.
David Hogg is a tool, a pawn of the Giffords and Bloomberg anti-gun groups. Yahoo KNOWS that these kids aren't organizing and giving statements on their own. These kids are there to draw fire from conservatives while their handlers behind the scenes continue to dismantle the 2nd Amendment.
Notice that Trump and the NRA aren't attacking the kids. These kids are misdirection.
I’d bet Ken Tucker likes to wear girls’ undies.
Hog boy won’t accept the apology until she apologizes to everyone she’s ever hurt, so he said from the back seat of his car on camera.
Immature, pretentious, pompous.
Perfect liberal.
I believe that Ken would like to roll in the mud with the young Hogg.
Where have AG Pam Bondi and Gov Rick Scott been, on all of this Parkland HS/manufactured crisis?
They seem to have gone underground. I thought they’d have had Sheriff Coward and the other fool security ‘monitors’ fired by now.
There is SO much that stinks about his entire episode, yet FL top cops are mum.
+1
He lives rent free on Free Republic.
Playing the kid card is not a thing. If he is going around screaming obscenities and accusing people of being killers, he is fair game
WAS PARKLAND AN IDYLLIC SCHOLASTIC SETTING OR A NIGHTMARE
I suspect but only an investigation will either dispel or prove that with those policies enforced students had all kinds of disciplinary problems (drugs, thefts fights etc) when attending classses there.
WHERE IS THE DEMAND FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INVESTIGATIONS ????
They’re missing the point It’s not guns or the NRA It’s policies which had cops standing outside while killing was going on or some nut getting a gun the FBI knew he wasn’t suppose to... Plus a whole raft of other stuff
DEMAND STATE AND FED INVESTIGATION ON THE POLICIES WHICH CAUSED THIS

Twitter handles of the companies that have pulled advertising from Ingragam’s show:
@Expedia
@Nestle
@TripAdvisor
@Wayfair
@RachaelRay
@Nutrish
@Hulu
@SCJohnson
@RubyTuesday
@OfficeDepot
@JennyCraig
@StitchFix
@Progressive
@Honda
@LibertyMutual
@principal
Worth knowing: Hulu is partially owned by 21st Centuty Fox, the parent company of Fox News, though they do have plans to sell their stake to Disney. So the left has Fox cannibalizing itself over this.

Interesting.
Laura’s big mistake was going after an “untouchable”.
This is not about Hogg, it’s about Laura. She could not have possibly handled this worse, and it will cost her this show and maybe her radio show too. Nobody wants to listen to weakling.
Yahoo was cucked by Google long ago. Now they live on their knees.
What is Yahoo’s relation to Google?
Jordan Peterson was right when he said “never apologize to a mob.”
