Facing boycotts, Laura Ingraham apologizes for mocking Parkland student

US news Earlier today
Fox News host Laura Ingraham caught heat for mocking Stoneman Douglas student David Hogg's college admission rejections. Hogg and his supporters responded by calling for advertisers to pull their sponsorships. After two companies pulled their ads from Ingraham's show, she apologized to Hogg "in the spirit of Holy Week."

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.)

David was not whining. I called him about the story. He was not feeling sorry for himself in the slightest. It was my idea that colleges should consider applicants who are so committed. Did you watch the video???

I think nothing speaks more to the disgusting decay of the conservative movement than the number of their pundits & politicians who think it's mature and "fun" to insult and degrade the survivors of a mass shooting because theyre asking our politicians to change.

I can’t believe some of these companies would do business with a person that slanders children who survived a deadly school shooting. Shameful!

David Hogg: “F*** the NRA. F*** Trump. F*** Fox. F*** Republicans. F*** Rubio. F*** you!” Laura Ingraham: “No wonder why this kid didn’t get into college” David Hogg: “SO TRIGGERED!!! BOYCOTT HER SPONSORS! RUIN HER LIFE!” Apparently the 1st amendment only applies to the Left.

More than 12 years later, in a piece in the Washington Post, Ingraham would say that they only printed names of students whose sexuality was known. Either way: She sent a reporter under cover to a meeting of gay students and printed everything they said in the paper.
