Laura Ingraham is rejected by three advertisers and whines about it
By 
Many people have commented on the right wing’s inability to learn that they should not harass the survivors of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High shooting. David Hogg has had to take time out of a life that has already been unimaginably disrupted to teach them. Last month, he had Alex Jones engaging in a funny/creepy display of groveling.
This month it was Laura Ingraham’s turn.
After right-wing star Laura Ingraham publicly mocked Parkland school-shooting survivor David Hogg for being rejected by multiple colleges, several companies have pulled their ads from her primetime Fox News show.
“David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA…totally predictable given acceptance rates.)” Ingraham wrote Thursday on Twitter while sharing an article on the matter from right-wing outlet The Daily Wire.

In response to Ingraham publicly mocking his college rejections, Hogg called for a boycott of her Fox News advertisers, singling out 12 companies that ran ads during her broadcasts this week.
Three advertisers quickly dropped her. Funny/creepy groveling ensued.
“Any student should be proud of a 4.2 GPA —incl. @DavidHogg111,” the Fox host tweeted Thursday afternoon. “On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland.”
And of course there’ll be post getting the head stomped calls for reasoned chit-chat.
Ingraham then pivoted to boasting how her show was among “the first to feature David immediately after that horrific shooting and even noted how ‘poised’ he was given the tragedy. As always, he’s welcome to return to the show anytime for a productive discussion.”
What a slimy person. Hogg gave her apology the appropriate reply.
Hogg didn’t buy her apology, however. “She only apologized after we went after her advertisers,” he told The New York Times. “It kind of speaks for itself.”
I must confess, I don’t get that much enjoyment out of the way these young people so effortlessly hand these hacks their asses. I keep remembering that telling right wing sewer scrapings too fuck off because you refuse to shut up or praise Guns should not be on their agenda.
