Laura Ingraham, Facing Boycott, Apologizes for Taunting Parkland Survivor David Hogg
“I’m going to go after her advertisers.”
Ms. Ingraham’s remarks went too far for TripAdvisor, which said it planned to stop advertising on the show and
that it did not “condone the inappropriate comments made by this broadcaster.”
“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 company said through a spokesman.
“In our view, these statements focused on a high school student cross the line of decency.”
Nutrish, a pet food brand owned by Rachael Ray, said it was “in the process of removing our ads from Laura Ingraham’s program.”
“The comments she has made are not consistent with how we feel people should be treated,” the company said.

Laura Ingraham, a Fox News host, apologized under pressure on Thursday for taunting a survivor of the school
shooting in Parkland, Fla., as at least four companies confirmed they would pull advertising from her show.
Wayfair, an e-commerce company, said in a statement
that it supports “open dialogue and debate on issues,” but that it would stop advertising on Ms. Ingraham’s show.
