Global investment group Principal is removing its advertisements from Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s show, the firm told The Hill on Friday.

A spokesperson for Principal said the management company was in the process of pulling its ads from "The Ingraham Angle."

Principal is at least the 13th advertiser to pull support or distance themselves from Ingraham after she mocked Parkland, Fla., high school shooting survivor David Hogg over his college rejections.

Liberty Mutual, Office Depot, Jenny Craig, Atlantis Paradise Island, Stitch Fix, Johnson & Johnson, Hulu, Nestle, Expedia, Wayfair, Trip Advisor and Nutrish have also taken action since Thursday.

1. Consequences! Your move, Shammity. C'mon, tell those uppity kids what you really think of them!

This is FUN!

[PatSeg]

20. I was thinking the same thing

I'm hoping Hannity says something equally as offensive, so people can start a boycott against his advertisers. It shouldn't be too hard for Sean, mean and hateful come so naturally to him.

For for Sean, you are wealthy and can afford to take the risk!

2. At what point is she going to

understand that she needs to issue a sincere apology and make amends? Are RW people even capable of understanding that concept?

[trof]

3. How do you think she could 'make amends'?

I can't see it.

[OldHippieChick]

4. Making amends is often a part of a

sincere apology. She could start by discussing gun control and inviting persons on to actually discuss that topic and how laws could be implemented. She could discuss increasing the age by which someone can purchase a gun, especially in Florida. This could be followed by an honest in-depth report on the use of and need for AR-57's or whatever they are and having an actual discussion about this. Each episode can be dedicated to a victim of the Parkland shootings until she has 17 shows demonstrating her amends.

5. You need to factor her audience. You are overlooking the fact that

her audience will completely abandon her if she does it. They LIVE to offend. LOVE being obnoxious and almost racist.
She might as well sign off for good if she is going to do a REAL apology. It won't happen.

[SCVDem]

6. Now there's a thought!

Buh Bye!

[OldHippieChick]

19. I was asked how she could make sincere

amends. I made a suggestion. I do not need to factor in her audience. She needs to factor in her sponsors. I suspect her audience will sit there as they usually do and nod dully and drool with no real idea what she is saying.

[trof]

22. OK, thanks.

Now I understand.

[IluvPitties]

9. You can't apologize for your truth.

Laura's statement is a reflection of who she is and what she believes.

[ailsagirl]

14. Any apology she could issue couldn't possibly come close to being sincere

She blew it

[paleotn]

17. no

It's simply not in their DNA. They can be literally destroyed for their misdeeds and still swear they were right.

[lame54]

7. It's amazing how many sponsors these shows have...

I only learn about this during boycotts

[FakeNoose]

15. I think sponsors take a contract for the Fox Channel advertising

... and they don't necessarily get to pick which show their ads are on. Some are direct sponsors of a particular show, but a lot are switched around to different timeslots.

If the sponsors who quit are all her direct sponsors, then she's going to be off the show soon. But usually they say, move my ad from Laura Ingraham's show and put it anywhere else. They do that if they get complaints from customers, for example.

Boycotts do work, just ask Bill O'Reilly.

[BigmanPigman]

8. There were 130 advertisers total.

I think Honda also,pulled their ads today.

I wish Fux Ruse would go BANKRUPT!

[Mariana]

16. Fox News is raking in as much as ever from these companies.

The advertisers are pulling as from one show only. It's just smoke and mirrors. Fox News does a little reshuffling and runs those ads during another program, and laughs all the way to the bank.

If they do start to actually lose money on Ingraham's show, they fire her and replace her with someone else just like her, and all the advertisers jump right in to sponsor the new hate show.

[BigmanPigman]

18. Chris Hayes is talking about this on MSNBC

and one guest (Eric Buller?) said that Fux Ruse has lost advertisers and they haven't come back when discussing this specific topic. I hope this is true.

[Honeycombe8]

10. Good. nt

[Pepsidog]

11. In the spirit of Holy Week, may she rot in hell

[Dawson Leery]

12. A monster must be trained and tamed.

The best way to teach a deplorable monster a lesson is to hit them in their wallet.

[Mr. Ected]

13. Ingraham is a reflection of her audience and they are a reflection of her

I have no problem that her politics and my politics diverge by a factor of 180 degrees. That's America. I can deal with that.

But that's not what's wrong with LI, with Rush, with Sean, with the lot of them. It's the blatant lies, the contemptuous snark, the pontification, the faux indignation. It's the dog whistles, the ad hominem attacks.

That's what we're trying to rectify. Let there be a level playing field. Let's argue our ideas and our policies on the merits.

They know that if that's the basis upon which we debate, they will lose many more times than they will win. So they engage in unfair practices, and big money is behind them.

Until we strike back at big money.

We need to keep this line of attack in force. It's the right strategy to neutralize them at their roots.
