Advertisers pull ads from Fox's Ingraham after her jab at Parkland student

At least two companies will heed calls from a survivor of the Florida high school shooting to drop their advertisements on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program after the host mocked the student on Twitter.

Nutrish, celebrity cook Rachael Ray’s dog food company, announced on Thursday that it was “in the process of removing ads from Laura Ingraham’s program.” TripAdvisor, the American travel website, told POLITICO that it had “made a decision to stop advertising on that program.”

“We believe strongly in the values of our company, especially the one that says, ‘We are better together,’” a TripAdvisor spokesperson said in an email. “We also believe Americans can disagree while still being agreeable, and that the free exchange of ideas within a community, in a peaceful manner, is the cornerstone of our democracy.”

The spokesperson added: “We do not, however, condone the inappropriate comments made by this broadcaster. In our view, these statements focused on a high school student, cross the line of decency.”

1. " .... these statements focused on a high school student, cross the line of decency.

Soon she will be in Rush territory .... boner pills, reverse mortgages, buy gold,
and act before midnight and we'll send the 2nd one for free.

5. I thought that was the bulk of Fox advertising to begin with...

What type of ads run during her show? I guess I have to look into who to boycott!

edit: Hulu? Noooooo

30. Most everything she says "crosses the line of decency".

Somewhat hypocritical of the advertisers for being there at all.

2. I hope it keeps going with most pulling ads.

and accuse Hillary Clinton of running a Pedophile Cannibal ring, and get a prime time show on ABC

34. I saw this list before bed last night and woke up and WHAM-O!

It worked so fucking fast. These students are smart, knew how to hit the evil bitch and Fux Ruse where they live $$$$$, and rhey got the word out quickly through social media. Now they are going to the town halls to change gun laws April 7th! JOIN THEM!!! RESIST!

March For Our Lives TOWN HALLS April 7th.
The students and communities who support stricter gun legislation are encouraging citizens to call and arrange town halls in your district on April 7th (before they head back to DC). They organized a site with help from Town Hall Project (Town Hall For Our Lives).
These young people are getting people registered to vote and are going through the legislative process for change and on April 7, they’re calling for every member of Congress to hold a town hall.

“If your local legislator refuses to come for whatever reason, simply invite their opponent,” Hogg told us. “It's as simple as that.”

36. The only one of those I use is Arby's.

Before I go in there again, I will check to see if they are still advertising on her program. There is plenty of other food out there.

47. Both brilliant responses

to Ingraham's "apology" for loosing her advertisers.

I had seen David's but not Fred Guttenberg's.


That's what they want.. common sense gun reform.

7. THAT'S what made you make the jump...?

That comment? Not ALL the others?

She once used a doctored video to smear Gore.
"Compelled by her duty" she made up a bullshit tome, "The Obama Diaries."
Bitched that Barack Obama, "ISN'T BLACK ENOUGH!
Went after gays until she found out her brother was gay?
Said over-the-counter Plan B is “a good deal for pedophiles”.
Played the sound of gunfire during a speech by John Lewis. (Sweet Jebus, Phuck!!!)
Refused to accept Sonia Sotomayor as an American citizen.

And that's just a few from this harpy skank.

15. i knew there was a reason

i avoid her at all costs. i didn't even know most of this but if you don't mind i will gank your entire post and put it on twitter.

everyone should know this, especially the advertisers being boycotted. and the boycott should not end just because she kinda said she was sorry.

[Grins]

39. I have the links to the articles!

Some go back to 2006.

[Grins]

8. How would she even know to what schools anyone applied?

Anyone! Whose ass did she pull this from?

I hope Hogg sues.

[Princess Turandot]

10. Hogg was asked abt college in an interview this week. He mentioned the schools where he had been...

...accepted, as well as the ones that he hadn't gotten into.

9. A third advertiser has joined boycott

11. She has apologized

"in the spirit of holy week" (heaven forbid it was because she realized she fucked up and truly felt bad).

[Stuart G]

12. Will the "apology" save her?.."in the spirit of holy week"

Seems "sarcastic" to me...

[leftynyc]

13. Not for me to decide

That's up to Mr. Hogg.

[poboy2]

17. It must mean if it were not for 'holy week' no apology I assume.

Let us also 'in the spirit of holy week', wish her show the same fate. Romans, do your duty.

[Julian Englis]

14. Even after her apology advertisers continue to pull ads

The Hill reported that Wayfair has pulled ads despite Ingraham’s “apology.” Given her record of offensive statements, it seems the only reasonable thing for a business to do.

Online home goods company Wayfair said it will stop advertising on Fox News host Laura Ingraham's show after she posted a tweet critical of a Parkland, Fla., high school student.

"As a company, we support open dialogue and debate on issues. However, the decision of an adult to personally criticize a high school student who has lost his classmates in an unspeakable tragedy is not consistent with our values," Wayfair's head of public relations, Jane Carpenter, told CNBC.

"We do not plan to continue advertising on this particular program."

and thank you Betty, looks like Laura wants a "spanking" in honour of her idol. Let's give her what she wants, drop her show into the dustbin of shows for the living dead.

What Lauren Hogg stated defines Ingraham.

*Waits till we boycott her advertisers to apologize* wow. ....Lauren Hogg.

29. Hi Gothmog

Is that what she calls "apologies" ??

Must be a prerequisite to work at Faux News : to be a true assh*le and a true human garbage !

She apologize as well as Trumpig offers condolences !!!

42. I really like David's sister

She got what she deserved !

Do you remember when she spewed on Lebron James ?

24. I've never watched Ingraham, but

I'm glad "Nutrish" has pulled its spots.

Yes, it's Rachel Ray, but her dog treats are really good and I'd hate to never buy them again.

[apnu]

26. BWAHAHA!!! That hatemonger lost a dog food company! (nt)

[syringis]

27. Will the trumpistadors throw their pet food, to "boycott" the "unfair" advertisers ?

[bullwinkle428]

28. The apology needs to be in person and groveling, as far as I'm concerned.

[Hekate]

32. On the last go-round of boycotts based on ads, we found out companies often have no idea where...

...their ads are being shown. They hire ad agencies, and those agencies make placements based on things like numbers and ages of viewers.

As a consequence, we are actually giving such companies valuable feedback when we notify them that their ad-dollars are being spent abhorrently.

[Mr. Ected]

33. She made her original comment DURING the Holy Week

She can't now use it as a defense.

[SunSeeker]

35. I just thanked TripAdvisor and told them they're my favorite travel app again!

I had earlier DM'd them on Twitter saying I won't use them as long as they sponsor Ingraham

[Moostache]

37. This image is all you EVER need to know about that gasbag woman...

NOT photoshopped....
NOT "Fake News"...

That is a REAL Nazi salute to her Fuhrer at the RNC in 2016.
Fuck you Fraulein Ingraham.
