replaced?

13. I seem to remember the Stop Rush movement, and advertisers were fleeing in droves, but he's....
still on the air. I don't watch Ingraham, and I could care less what happens to her tv career, but I just wondered about the effectiveness of the boycott. I guess we'll have to wait and see if Fox carries her, even without advertising.

17. Well, Fox News is different than syndicated hate radio.
So we'll see.
I think there needs to be a concerted effort to go after Fox advertisers is a whole, not just individual shows. |

what his network once was. He went from demanding mega $millions to just staying on the air.

23. Same thing happened to Bill O'Reilly a year ago
After O'Reilly was hit with all the sexual allegations/lawsuits, his sponsors dropped him like hotcakes. His show was cancelled and he was out in less than a week. And he had higher ratings than Laura's show did.

7. Excellent. Apparently Ingraham has become more Colterish over time.
I don't watch either of them so didn't know. But it's a pattern most of the right has followed, so very believable.
Most of these sponsors probably signed on when her message and the audience they were advertising to weren't overall quite so extremist and nasty. Someone on TV was surprised that the first 9 companies dumped her so promptly, but this probably not the first, or second, time it was discussed. Just the last time. Way late, but... ![]() |

her vile words. I hope she gets fired.

33. Another vile snake wrapping herself around the Cross of Christ.
To feign reverence and “Christian” “values”. Won’t convince this lifelong Catholic that she’s “sorry.” She’s only sorry her mean-spiritedness created a nice little shitstorm for herself.

18. Hey Cha! These companies are looking at the next generation of voters & consumers & future policy
makers & legislatures.
These companies are looking at their shortened life span under hacks like Ingraham. The longevity of their business belongs to the Parkland generation. As a business model, they see the future ...and it doesn't look like Mean Lady Ingraham. She has reached her sell-by date. Nice thought huh! ![]() ![]() ![]() |
