Yeah, you'll have him back on because this controversy will create viewers. Perhaps even some viewers who would never dare turn on Faux News.

15. It's "in the spirit of Holy Week". So if it was last week or next week she wouldn't have apologized?

Good for @TripAdvisor for pulling ads from Ingraham show. Forget fact @davidhogg111 survived a mass-shooting....any adult -particularly one who wears a cross around her neck- picking on any teen for getting rejected by some colleges, defies sanity. Keep pushing other sponsors!

Ingraham’s apology is just as bad as Hannity’s apology for his love fest with the Bundys.

David Hogg will get accepted by other colleges and, most likely, with a full scholarship.

said that Fux Ruse needs to realize that their anchors do this crap often and this will happen as a result. They applauded David's savvy in several ways...
He was on this right away and was smart enough to use social media and go after the advertisers.
He knows her apology is insincere and she only did it due to losing ad money.

Fux Ruse looks like a big bully to the over 1 million who supported the gun violence events and respect the teenagers. There should be a hands off policy for these victims of gun violence. Fux Ruse has never respected anyone ever. Trash TV. I hope Fux loses viewers but their viewers are deplorables so they will probably actually attract more NRA nuts.

This is what the teenagers of Parkland are doing now...JOIN THEM!
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.”
