Laura Ingraham "Taking Week Off" (In Futile Search For Her Soul? Update Resume?)



Awww:
Fox News show host Laura Ingraham announced on her show late Friday that she is taking next week off, after almost a dozen advertisers dropped her show after the conservative pundit mocked a teenage survivor of the Florida school massacre on Twitter.
Here's the latest update on the companies no longer advertising on Ingraham's Fox "News" hate fest:
The companies announcing that they are cancelling their ads are: Nutrish, the pet food line created by celebrity chef Rachael Ray, travel website TripAdvisor Inc (TRIP.O), online home furnishings seller Wayfair Inc (W.N), the world’s largest packaged food company, Nestle SA (NESN.S), online streaming service Hulu, travel website Expedia Group Inc (EXPE.O) and online personal shopping service Stitch Fix (SFIX.O). 
According to CBS News, four other companies joined the list Friday: the home office supply store Office Depot, the dieting company Jenny Craig, the Atlantis, Paradise Island resort and Johnson & Johnson which produces pharmaceuticals as well as consumer products such as Band-Aids, Neutrogena beauty products and Tylenol.
It was almost a year ago that fellow Fox fascist Bill "O'Liely" O'Reilly, under fire for multiple sexual harassment claims accompanied by the flight of advertisers on his show, announced a surprise, unscheduled vacation -- during which he was fired from the network.  May the same fate befall the odious Ms. Ingraham (though she would be replaced by another odious creature -- you've noticed Fox has lots of them).

 BONUS:  Interesting tidbit --

And some "thoughts and prayers" from "God":

Laura Ingraham: Still A Soul-Sick Liar [UPDATED]



Last night on her show-for-deplorables-by-a-deplorable, bigoted neo-fascist shrieker Laura Ingraham suggested that sanctuary cities, particularly San Francisco, had been turned into hell holes by those brown people:
"Do you blame Orange County for voting the way they did, given the fact that they don't want Orange County to turn into San Francisco? Meaning, they don't want the hypodermic needles in the streets, they don't want the human feces all over all these blocks...They don't want what San Francisco has, double the rate of the state crime rate."
Ingraham wants her viewers to believe the false narrative that sanctuary cities are a haven for criminals, etc., when in fact crime in those cities isn't affected by their sanctuary status one way or the other.  Sounds like feces from Ingraham to us.

Ingraham has a long, vile history of bigotry, as Media Matters has noted, but her hate speech isn't limited to the Hispanic community. She's found a new target for that: the student survivors of the Majory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre. Yesterday on Twitter, she mocked activist David Hogg for being rejected by four colleges, and received a sharp and righteous rejoinder from Hogg's 14 year-old sister, Lauren:

David also joined in by tweeting the top 12 advertisers on Ingraham's sh*tfest:
Let's help the Parkland survivors in a tangible way and contact the advertisers to let them know that you won't be buying their products as long as they advertise there.

UPDATE: The first of hopefully many advertisers is leaving Ingraham's sh*tfest:

UPDATE II:  You can add Wayfair and TripAdvisor.

UPDATE III: Nestle, too.

UPDATE IV:  Goodbye Hulu and Johnson & Johnson!
