Following Twitter comments Laura Ingraham made about Parkland shooting survivor and anti-gun activist David Hogg, over 12 advertisers pulled out of her hit Fox News show.
Hogg lead the way attacking every single one of the companies that invested advertising time on “the Ingraham angle,” and they caved to the child.
The big players behind Hogg
However, there is a bigger player behind it all, George Soros, as usual, the evil meddling madman has been using Think Progress, the media project of the Soros-funded Center for American Progress to hype the boycott.
On Thursday, Ingraham tweeted an apology to Hogg, “for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland.”
Any student should be proud of a 4.2 GPA —incl. @DavidHogg111. 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. For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David…(1/2)

Before that, Whiny hypocrite Hogg used his usual bully tactics to hit Laura where he knew it would hurt, tweeting a list of Ingraham’s top 12 advertisers and promoting the hashtag #BoycottIngramAdverts.
Media Matters on Thursday also jumped on the anti-Ingraham campaign, promoting a list of over 130 recent advertisers on the Fox News show.
Hogg himself retweeted the larger Media Matters list of Ingraham’s television advertisers.

The Twitter war against Ingraham’s advertisers
On Twitter, Media Matters President Angelo Carusone highlighted two of Ingraham’s biggest advertisers, Liberty Mutual and Bayer:
.@davidhogg111 FYI. Laura Ingraham has 2 really big named sponsors right now. These the big ones with strongest association: @libertymutual and @bayerAG/@BayerUS
#1) @LibertyMutual. “The Ingraham Angle is brought to you by Liberty Mutual Insurance. Liberty stands with you.” pic.twitter.com/V4YQZTgtGM

Carusone further commented, “You can expect more advertisers to leave … Fox News is reckless propaganda machine. It’s bad for business.

Known for its hatred towards conservative and independent media outlets, Media Matters is all too happy to fund shills for the cause, and Hogg and his minions are Soro’s’ little puppets
The Playbook
The Washington Free Beacon last year obtained a Media Matters briefing book, which listed a huge budget goal for 2017 of a whopping $13.4 million, the booklet said it would pay a staff of 81, ostensibly to wage total war on independent news media outlets like Breitbart News.
Media Matters was founded by Hillary Clinton friend David Brock and is financed by Soros. The madman billionaire gave a $1 million donation in 2010 “to hold Fox News accountable for the false and misleading information they so often broadcast.”
Brock once made the claim Media Matters was aiming to wage an all-out campaign of “guerrilla warfare and sabotage” against Fox News.
Think Progress has also been helping the Hogg boycott, along with the editor and founder of Think Progress, using articles and tweets about the subject by Judd Legum.
This is a good reminder and the companies that quietly remove their ads usually vastly outnumber those that do so publicly https://t.co/rXb0YgPCeD

The anonymous Twitter account, Sleeping Giants, who has been a spearhead to get everyone to boycott outlets like Breitbart News, have been in full force promoting campaigns against Ingraham, with the help DNC Party operatives and liberal media personalities.
Not only that, Co-founder of the #GrabYourWallet, Shannon Coulter, has been promoting boycotts against businesses associated with President Trump, as well as feverishly supporting this ridiculous anti-Ingraham campaign on Twitter.
