NEW YORK — The George Soros-financed Media Matters for America progressive activist group has been helping to fuel an advertising boycott targeting Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show following Twitter comments the media star made about Parkland shooting survivor and antigun activist David Hogg. Think Progress, the media project of the Soros-funded Center for American Progress, has also been using its platform to hype the boycott.

On Thursday, Ingraham tweeted an apology to Hogg, expressing her regret “for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland.”

The “Ingraham Angle” host had earlier tweeted a Daily Wire story titled, “Gun Rights Provocateur David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied.” Ingraham adder her own comment: “David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it.”

Never apologize.
Just make sure what you say is the truth and let it stand on its own.

Agree.1st thought when I saw she apologized was “You screwed up”

That Hogg a-hole needs to be cut down to size and apologizing to the little twerp wont achieve that

She had no reason to apologize to the petulant, sexually confused, lying child.

Seems like ‘ol soros is hellbent on resurrecting the third reich, or creating the fourth.

I’m sure he has plenty of people on his dole who share his vision.

This whole business is heart-breaking. I knew when she got a TV show that she would be painting an even much bigger, brighter target on her back. Sad that advertisers are so quick to run for cover. But, without them, she has no show, so she had to make an effort to appease them. I just hope we don’t lose her, and this blows over because she is so consistently on the right side and about the smartest person on the air anywhere to articulate her view.

This is what an apology to an obnoxious dips**t will get you.

I say let’s just do away with the 1st Amendment, round up all the conservatives and put them in reeducation camps. Then all will be well with the world. /sar

But we already knew this. If a snotty-nosed little 17 year old can get corporate CEOs to drop a load in their Depends, America is worse off than we think it is. It had to be somebody with lots of big bucks. It had to be Little Georgie the Nazi B*tch.

Why you should never apologize to a libtard.

  1. It is never truly accepted in good faith.

  2. It is always taken as a sign of weakness.

  3. It boosts their egos and feeds their megalomania.

  4. It is never enough - they always demand you back down more and more.

...Ingraham tweeted an apology to Hogg, expressing her regret “for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland.”

I sense sarcasm in this "apology". She hurt Hogg boy's wittle feewings. "Brave victims"? What the hell is that?

I stopped following her. So sad. I thought she would be the last person to crumble. Let it be a lesson. Oh, I have made a note of the sponsors. Dumped them too.

The apology isn’t the issue.
Hogg is a pawn. He is a tool. Why waste time on him?
Go after his handlers. The people behind him and the movement.
Do you see Trump attacking him on Twitter?
