Fox News reaps the whirlwind

David Hogg, the Parkland student that Laura Ingraham tried to humiliate on Twitter, may not be getting into the college of his choice, but he's schooling Ingraham and her employer, Fox News.  And, by extension, the GOP and the NRA, as they begin to see just what power the Parkland students are wielding.

At least five companies said they were dropping advertisements from Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show after the conservative pundit mocked a teenage survivor of the Florida school massacre on Twitter and he responded with a call for a boycott.

On Thursday, Ingraham tweeted an apology “in the spirit of Holy Week”, saying she was sorry for any hurt or upset she caused Hogg or any of the “brave victims” of Parkland.

I bet she did.

“For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David … immediately after that horrific shooting and even noted how ‘poised’ he was given the tragedy,” Ingraham tweeted.

Nice try. No cigar.

Johnson & Johnson, Nutrish (Rachael Ray), TripAdvisor, Wayfair, Nestlé  & Expedia pulled their ads.

Hogg wrote on Twitter that an apology just to mollify advertisers was insufficient. He said he would accept it only if Ingraham denounced the way Fox News treated him and his friends.

“It’s time to love thy neighbor, not mudsling at children,” Hogg tweeted.

Back to you, Laura.

UPDATE:

There goes Office Depot.

At least 11 advertisers have now pulled their support from Ingraham's show after she mocked Parkland, Fla., high school shooting survivor David Hogg on Wednesday over his college rejections.

Additions to the above list: Hulu, Jenny Craig, Stitch Fix, and Atlantis Paradise Island Resort.

UPDATE 3/31:

Still bleeding advertisers, and Ingraham is "taking vacation".
