Laura Ingraham forced to apologize to David Hogg UPDATE: 15 advertisers gone

When Fox News host Laura Ingraham taunted a Parkland shooting survivor in a Wednesday- morning tweet about his college applications being rejected, Twitter users hit back where it hurt most: among her advertisers.
David Hogg, the 17-year-old high school senior who has become a gun-control activist, mustered the collective power of social media — and his more than 630,000 Twitter followers — and urged them to “tweet away” at her top sponsors to call on them to boycott her TV show, “The Ingraham Angle.”
Within 24 hours, several companies responded — among them the pet food brand Nutrish and the home goods retailer Wayfair — announcing over Twitter and in media interviews that they would pull their ads from Ingraham’s show.
By Thursday afternoon, Ingraham apologized. “On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland,” she tweeted.
But, it get's better....
Hogg said he felt the apology was merely an effort to save her advertisers.
“I will only accept your apology only if you denounce the way your network has treated my friends and I in this fight,” Hogg tweeted. “It’s time to love thy neighbor, not mudsling at children.”
Laura Ingraham gets schooled by the child she made fun of. Has she learned it's not a good idea or a good look for her side to lash out at children?

The only thing she did wrong was apologize to that insufferable little punk.
Politics aside this kid is like a caricature of everything wrong with youth today.

How would Fox react towards your employment with you posting this on a public forum about one of your co-workers?
You’re better than this, Shep. Pull it together.

Indeed. What do you mean it's not a good look to bash those attention whore brats? Does anybody even like them? They are rent-a-mob useful idiots for th Dem party/Soros.

Your response and Hoggs response to an apology is exactly why sane people should never yield to your demands or your fake outrage. The best solution for you and your ilk is re-education camps and potential extermination.

Only you would celebrate a double standard, Toddy. Hogg can be as nasty as he wants, but when someone plays by his rules, he and all the libs cry foul. Typical.

hogg is making the fox news brigade bend their collective assholes over, it's both pathetic and wildly entertaining at the same time.
she didn't blink an eye to the lebron james comments but she quivers in fear to Lord Hogg.

It's all about the money. Hogg has everything to gain and nothing to lose whereas Ingraham has a lot to lose.

So even he admits they are children and not adults? Good to know.

Kind of unrelated, but I swear one of our society's biggest issues today is that 17-year-olds are more than happy to refer to themselves as "children."
70 years ago, they were lying about their age so they could go to war.
Now they're "children."
I loathe how much our society has infantilized anyone younger than 25.

Some people lied about stuff just to get out of going to war.

By their definition, anyone alive today is a parkland shooting survivor.
As a survivor, I’d like to have MY voice heard.

Hogg is hiding behind his age and moving the goal posts on every argument. First it's "it doesn't matter that I'm a kid, I think these gun laws and this constitution need changing." Then when someone calls him out, it's "how can you say that, we're just kids!"
This is why everyone calls him a little punk and a whiner. He says nasty things about public figures but can't take the same criticism.
Either grow thicker skin or get out of the public arena.
