Courtesy of Variety: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.) https://t.co/wflA4hWHXY— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) March 28, 2018
Laura Ingraham is taking avacation next week. Now the question is whether a controversy swirling around the host will go on hiatus as well.
The popular Fox News Channel host – her “Ingraham Angle” was the fourth most-watched cable-news program in February – told viewers Friday night she would not appear on air next week as she took what she described as a pre-planned break around the Easter holiday with her children. Substitute hosts are expected to fill in for her on the program.
She leaves in the midst of heightened scrutiny. Ingraham set off an imbroglio Wednesday with a Twitter post mocking Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg, one of the students who has spoken out about gun control prominently since a February 14th shooting incident at the Parkland, Florida school left 17 people dead. Her tweet linked to a report noting Hogg had been rejected from four California colleges. Her tweet also said Hogg “whines about” the rejections.
That extremely immature attack resulted in a call for a boycott of Ingraham's advertisers and as of right now these are the businesses that have turned their backs on her:
Atlantis Bahamas
Expedia
Hulu
Jenny Craig
Johnson & Johnson
Liberty Mutual
Nestle
Nutrish
Stitch Fix
TripAdvisor
and Wayfair.
Okay THAT'S a hell of a list. And there will likely be even more by the end of the day.
Keep in mind that Ingraham is not the ONLY conservative who has been brought to their knees after attacking these Parkland students, and if I were a Right Wing asshole I would be thinking twice about getting on the wrong side of these kids.
They are moving us to the future, and woe be to those that try to stand in their way.

ReplyDeleteLaura Ingraham is bad people, it's not just her politics that are bad.
My question to her would be, so if it wasn't holy week does that mean you wouldn't have apologized?
DeleteBullying? Slander? That's Laura Ingraham's 'Brand'
ReplyDeleteWhy was the boycott against Laura Ingraham's show so swift and successful?
Because Laura Ingraham's brand is bullying, and everybody knew it.

The big question is, why were all these people sponsoring her before she attacked David Hogg? She's always been disgusting.
ReplyDeleteFuck her! Sincere hope is they take her completely off the air. She is one rabid broad and has always been.

Michael Rapaport Rips ‘Dog-Faced Animal’ Laura Ingraham After David Hogg Dig (Video)
ReplyDelete...“Laura Ingraham. The Fox News reporter,” Rapaport said. “You filthy pig. you dog-faced animal.”
Referencing his earlier beef with Ingraham, Rapaport continued, “This is the same Laura Ingraham who just a few weeks ago said that LeBron James and Kevin Durant and these athletes should just shut up and dribble. And then I said, infamously, that you should shut up and dribble these nuts. Remember her?”
“And now Laura Ingraham. this savage, this dog, this mutt — and this has nothing to do with her looks. It has to do with her behavior. The things that she exudes. She’s a sweaty pig.She’s going after this high school student,” the actor, author and podcaster added.
“Who do you like, Laura, huh? You obviously have an affinity for D— Stain Donald Trump, but who do you like?” Rapaport asked. “Why don’t you go away, go back to the swamps, to the sewage system, to the ravine that you crawled out of? You f—ing pig, you.”

So that is your happytimes Laura Ingraham Is Having A Very Bad Week update.

No hell is fiery enough for that EVIL #UNT.
ReplyDeleteVOX>"President Donald Trump is having a tough time with America’s youngest voters. According to a new poll from the The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and MTV, just 33 percent of people between the ages of 15 and 34 approve of Trump’s job performance.
ReplyDeleteThat’s nine points lower than all other adult respondents, who gave their opinions in a another recent AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs survey. Trump’s current approval rating, according to Gallup, is at 39 percent, which is around where it’s hovered for most of his presidency.
The AP’s survey also reveals just how negatively those young — and upcoming — voters view the president. The poll found that a majority in that age range of 15 to 34 year olds— 60 percent — described Trump as “mentally unfit.” Another 63 percent agreed that the president “is a racist.”
Young respondents also split with Trump on key issues such as immigration and protecting LGBTQ and minority rights. Fully 69 percent supported a pathway to legal status for DREAMers; fifty-nine percent supported policies to protect LGBTQ rights.
Millennial voters make up the largest share of the electorate, and they’re also much more diverse than previous generations. This should favor the Democrats, although millennial turnout in 2016 fell short of expectations. In 2012, Barack Obama won 60 percent of the millennial vote, compared to 37 percent for Mitt Romney. In 2016, Hillary Clinton only won 55 percent to Trump’s 37 percent.
That enthusiasm gap hints at the biggest question about millennials’ voting patterns: whether they’ll turn out in droves to vote. There are early signs that millennials — and those voters, or soon-to-be voters, in Generation Z — might finally be ready to capitalize on their power as a voting bloc.
Just look at the gun reform activism following the Parkland shooting; teen and young adult activists led walkouts in high schools and colleges, and helped organize the March for Our Lives in Washington, D.C. and other cities that turned out hundreds of thousands. The march had a much broader age reach — it wasn’t just teenagers and young adults. The 2018 midterms, however, will be the first true test whether antipathy for Trump among millennials and other young people transfers to real political influence."
Can't blame them since they will be the ones drafted to fight his wars.
DeleteIt must have hurt Jenny Craig to withdraw, she is a big Republican donor not big on morals. Her clientele, though, is probably mostly mothers - who have at long last got off their asses to defend their children.
ReplyDeleteWho was the last Fox Deplorable to take a scheduled vacation (forever) for opening their big mouth and then losing advertisers?
ReplyDeleteWas it Bill O'Reilly?
Yeah. What ever happened to that guy?
So long Laura. You're a woman. Fox isn't going to fight for you to keep your job. That's their corporate culture. You're going on vacation then not coming back. Then in a few weeks when you're forgotten, you'll get a pink slip and a severance check.
Will you have learned anything? Doubt it. You'll still be noxious and nasty. You just won't have a national platform like Fox to spew your hate and filth.
GOP strategist hilariously nails why Laura Ingraham stepped in it with Parkland teens: ‘She has the right to be stupid’
ReplyDelete...“This is a pattern that many right-wing hosts have undertaken,” former Hillary Clinton aide Adrienne Elrod suggested. “They’ll go out, say something to the extreme that generates excitement and enthusiasm among the right-wing base in their viewers and then they apologize and they basically get to go back on air and move forward as if nothing happened.”
“The thing that we’re finally seeing now is that advertisers are coming forward and saying, ‘You know what? We don’t care if this impacts our bottom line, we’re pulling our ads from this program because we absolutely cannot stand with the host who will say this sort of extreme things,'” she continued. “That’s where you’ll see the trajectory of this pattern change.”
“People like Laura Ingraham, propping up the Second Amendment and propping the NRA for decades are now realizing, ‘oh my gosh, these 17-year-old kids are far more effective messengers than we are!’ I think they’re having a difficult time coming to terms with it and that’s why you’re seeing them say this extreme things,” Elrod concluded.

David Hogg calls Laura Ingraham ‘a bully’ who apologized for money:
...“A bully is a bully and it’s important that you stand up to them,” he said. “She told LeBron James to shut up and dribble—I don’t see her apologizing for those people. It’s disturbing to know someone could bully so many people for so long and get away with it, especially to the level she did.”
“I would only consider doing it after she apologizes to all the people that she’s hurt throughout her professionalism career because of her immaturity and unprofessionalism,” he said.
