When David Hogg decided to organize his social media supporters to fight back against the grotesque and craven attacks from Fox News “personality” Laura Ingraham, he simply posted this:
Ingraham has a history of being an awful person, which isn’t a unique quality in a Fox News on air personality as much as it’s a requirement. But she felt the backlash pretty quickly and issued a truly pathetic excuse for an apology—which was roundly smashed by thousands online. But since she “apologized” the floodgates have been open and Ingraham continues to lose advertisers. Mr. Hogg decided to up the ante and dropped a much more extensive boycott list.

Here are the many advertisers who have said they will be pulling their business.
Rachael Ray’s pet-food brand Nutrish
Home goods and digital retailer Wayfair
Trip Advisor
Expedia
Hulu
Nestlé
Office Depot
Jenny Craig
Stitch Fix
Joseph A. Bank
Johnson & Johnson
And most recently, Atlantis, Paradise Island resort had this to say.
“Atlantis does not support or agree with the recent comments made by television broadcaster Laura Ingraham,” a spokesperson for the Bahamas resort said in a statement to The Hill.
“Although we are an organization that believes in freedom of expression, we do not condone discrimination, bullying, mockery or harmful behavior of any kind. As a result of these events, we have decided to remove all brand advertising tied to the program,” the statement read.
There are a ton of travel sites on that list—I guess after watching Ingraham spew her version of stupid for an hour a day, you really want a vacation.
Media Matters put together a list of current Ingraham advertisers you can see below the fold.
