Sponsors who left Fox News star Laura Ingraham’s show at the behest of teen gun control activist David Hogg are missing out on a 20 percent increase in eyeballs.

The conservative author of “Shut up and Sing” lost nearly 30 advertisers since a boycott against her show launched March 29, but those who held firm are benefiting from a ratings windfall. Data compiled by the media watchdog News Busters shows a jump from 2.23 million viewers prior to Mr. Hogg’s campaign to 2.7 million since her return from a vacation.

People want to eat out at CFA in NYC.

What’s that about a Blue Wave I’ve been hearing about?

It isn’t showing up in the ratings.

...toeing any lines.

Yes, it's actually a term used in construction and I've been corrected on this before.

Thanks.

[right way right]

I bought another gun rejoined the NRA and I make sure that my DVR tapes Laura whether I watch or not.
My Conservative piety requirements fulfilled for a bit.

I should write an article critical of the little sycophant.

I want him to boycott me and boost my business.

:)

I only wish more was done to expose who it is that’s browning his nose...

[jazusamo]

Good for you, I didn’t think of the DVR.

[jazusamo]

Me too, it’s for sure he’s not doing it on his own.

The kid looks like a Pinocchio with his V-jaw yakking.

Who is david hogg?

Ever seen those Tintin cartoons ? LOL

[lightman]

When David was a Soros toy
He lived through Parkland and it filled him full of joy

So won’t you squeal like a pig little David
Squeal like a pig
Squeal like a pig
Hallelujah
Squeal like a pig

I just wish that somebody would buy the kid another sport coat.

Every time I see a picture of Hog, he's in that gray jacket.

Is that part of the idiot uniform or does he just like gray?

And in the meantime, he’s desperate to get back in the news with another walkout on Friday. Pathetic.

What's pathetic is that he'll pop up every time there's a school shooting. What a ghoulish existence.

"Who is david hogg?"

I think he is just a pig.

I think he's more of a piglet.

I boycott media who don’t like my Ad Blocker, so if there’s a list of her current advertizers like Ace Hardware, it should be posted so we can express our support by partronizing them. I know “My Pillow” is one, and Fed Ex.

Best way to neuter a boycott is to neuter the little weasel who started it...wait, what?

[Pearls Before Swine]

No, no official action. But Hogg is a Broward product

I was thinking of the 60’s, or maybe the 50’s, when “banned in Boston “ would help sales of a movie or novel.

[BBell]

Thought I'd go "Hogg" wild.

meme Hogg.

[Rebelbase]

At best Hogg will grow up to be a Kieth Olbermann without sports commentary ability.

Gun grabbers are horrible people. Thank you David for reminding more people to wake up to the threat to liberty you represent.
