Laura Ingraham, Facing Boycott, Apologizes for Taunting Parkland Survivor David Hogg
New York Times ^ | MARCH 29, 2018r | By DANIEL VICTOR

Laura Ingraham, a Fox News host, apologized under pressure on Thursday for taunting a survivor of the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., as three companies confirmed they would pull advertising from her show.

The dispute began Wednesday when Ms. Ingraham shared an article about the student, David Hogg, 17, getting rejected from some of the colleges to which he had applied and accused him of whining about it.

In response, Mr. Hogg, who has rapidly become a prominent advocate for gun-control policies, called on Ms. Ingraham’s advertisers to boycott her show. Three of the companies, TripAdvisor, Wayfair and Nutrish, said Thursday they would pull their ads.

As news of the boycotts began coming out on Thursday, Ms. Ingraham apologized.

How ironic that a tweet exposed Ingraham given all her squawking about DJT's tweets. If she said, "that's not what I would do" once, she said it countless times.

I agree. He made himself a public figure, he can take the heat.

Fook you.

Looks like the 25 year old punk got the best of Ingraham.

Unbelievable! I thought she was made of sterner stuff.

“Never give into bullies.”

The only ones this puke could bully would be 1st graders. Try it on the wrestling or football team twig arms. Sooner or later someone is going to make his face look like s pizza pie.

That goes back and forth. Does anyone know if/where there’s a link to his original comment about riding his bike to school?

Not only does he overuse the word ‘only’, he over uses the words ‘f*****g’ and ‘disgusting’ as well. He’s just such a little d!ck. I don’t have a problem with him wanting to get front of the camera as much as I do that he’s simply insufferable.

Damn these cowards! Damn them all to hell! NEVER appease someone you hate!

Amen! President Trump's refusal to apologize is one of the reasons I decided to support him in the primary over Cruz.

My complaint with Laura before this was she has these horrible lefties on her show and then can’t keep them under control.. she lets them talk over her.. she should cut their mikes. I turn her off when they get to spiel their garbage unstopped.

She was engaged, then she got breast cancer, then the guy split.

I wonder how Hogg suddenly came up with a list of Ingraham’s sponsors?

Did this bogus “survivor” do his own research?

Or did one of Hogg’s hard Left “sponsors” generate the idea and give Hogg the list?

Conservatives need to demand full disclosure from Hogg about his own sponsors and what sort of assistance - financial and otherwise - Hogg receives from them.

By the way - I saw two grammatical errors in Hogg’s Tweets about Laura Ingraham.

Maybe that's why Hogg can't get in to UCLA.

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 I in this fight. It’s time to love thy neighbor, not mudslinging at children.

Now we know why he can't get into the University of California. You need to learn correct grammar before they will admit you.

I don’t know of one.

Could have sworn I read he wasn’t even at school on the day of the shooting.
