The pretext being used to destroy a conservative woman, Fox News star Laura Ingraham, is that she accused a 17-year-old of “whining.” Even after apologizing to anti-gun activist David Hogg, the corporate media and the organized left, with a lot of help from gutless corporations, are still determined to dismantle Ingraham’s entire professional life — to shut a conservative woman up by removing her platform, all because she accused a teenager of “whining.” Keep in mind that Hogg is not just any 17-year-old. He is a foul-mouthed hurler of extremist, partisan venom and a shield for a media eager to...

Fox News host Laura Ingraham is taking vacation time even as advertisers flee her show "The Ingraham Angle" over a feud with a high school student who advocates gun control.

Progressive insurance, a major publicly traded company, has decided to pull ads off Laura Ingraham’s radio programs, Breitbart News can confirm. In addition to the news of the decision to pull the ads, Progressive–through an ad placement firm–at least partially defined what qualifies as a reason to pull Progressive ads off the air of a certain program: “Controversial programming.” Even so, despite coining that term for this, Progressive refused to further define what it means by “controversial programming.” A media ad-buying-and-placement firm for Progressive insurance notified radio affiliates on Friday morning to stop airing ads on or near Ingraham’s programming....

David Hogg bid a sarcastic farewell to Fox Host Laura Ingraham after she announced she will go on vacation and off air next week. On Friday Ingraham shared on her program she will take a pre-planned break for the Easter holiday with her children, according to Variety. Hogg tweeted 'Have some healthy reflections this Holy Week' echoing Ingraham's own words of apology that she offered after Hogg's boycott saw her lose 11 of her show's advertisers.

The David Hogg experiment would be captivating if we were all just spectators, but the latest twist in the spectacle reveals a destructive element sure to metastasize quickly. Last Wednesday, Fox News host Laura Ingraham tweeted, “David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA ... totally predictable given acceptance rates.)”

'I've got kids that are older than they are. Who thinks that attacking children, who thinks that spreading false information about children which has not only been spread on conspiracy sites but also on mainstream media sights, who thinks that is going to help them get ahead politically when it's so obvious it's only going to blow up in their faces?' asked Scarborough. 'Let's add on attacking children who are two weeks out from hiding under their desk or watching their friends be shot by an automatic weapon,' pointed out Deutsch. So if you can't have empathy or sympathetic behavior...

Laura Ingraham is taking a vacation next week. Now the question is whether a controversy swirling around the host will go on hiatus as well. The popular Fox News Channel host – her “Ingraham Angle” was the fourth most-watched cable-news program in February – told viewers Friday night she would not appear on air next week as she took what she described as a pre-planned break around the Easter holiday with her children. Substitute hosts are expected to fill in for her on the program. She leaves in the midst of heightened scrutiny. Ingraham set off an imbroglio Wednesday with...

Two reasons could explain Laura Ingraham's decision to mock Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg for his college rejections. One is schadenfreude, but it is seems overly cynical to think that the Fox News host takes pleasure in watching more bad things happen to a teenager who lost 14 schoolmates and three educators last month. The other, more plausible reason is that Ingraham wants to remove Hogg from a national conversation about gun control. Rather than debate him, she would prefer to disqualify him.

Friday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports,” Parkland survivor and gun control activist David Hogg refused to accept Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s apology for criticizing him on Twitter about not getting into colleges. Hogg said, “She only apologized after one-third of her advertisers dropped out. She’s gone after LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and multiple other people that she bullied.” He continued, “When she went to Dartmouth she tried exposing gay individuals at the school by sending in an undercover reporter, and that’s just deplorable. She is a bully and she needs to be held accountable. I don’t care who you...

Unsolicited advice for David Hogg: when someone offers you a gracious apology, and does so “in the spirit of Holy Week,” accept it. On CNN this morning, when Alisyn Camerota asked Hogg if he accepted Laura Ingraham’s apology for tweeting about Hogg having been rejected by four colleges, Hogg curtly replied: “No. She’s only apologizing after advertisers pulled out. And I think it’s really disgusting that she basically tried promoting her show after [air quotes] apologizing to me.” Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

The power hungry anti-gun zealot tweeted about his college rejections as reported by TGP’s Kristin Taylor: Wednesday morning, Ingraham tweeted a Daily Wire article by Joseph Curl Wednesday morning (which itself reported on a Hogg interview with TMZ about the rejections), commenting, “David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA…totally predictable given acceptance rates.)” Naturally, Power Hogg unleashed a boycott rampage. Hogg is known for stomping his feet and demanding he get his way or else and Twitter, Facebook and YouTube protect him by banning anyone who...

Fox News host Laura Ingraham apologized Thursday after she posted a critical tweet about a Parkland, Fla. high school student. "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," Ingraham tweeted. "For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David immediately after that horrific shooting and even noted how "poised" he was given the tragedy. As always, he’s welcome to return to the show anytime for a...

Laura Ingraham, a Fox News host, apologized under pressure on Thursday for taunting a survivor of the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., as three companies confirmed they would pull advertising from her show. The dispute began Wednesday when Ms. Ingraham shared an article about the student, David Hogg, 17, getting rejected from some of the colleges to which he had applied and accused him of whining about it. In response, Mr. Hogg, who has rapidly become a prominent advocate for gun-control policies, called on Ms. Ingraham’s advertisers to boycott her show. Three of the companies, TripAdvisor, Wayfair and Nutrish, said...

Parkland activist David Hogg is calling for a boycott of Laura Ingraham’s advertisers after the Fox News host made a comment about some of his college rejections, which he openly discussed in an interview with TMZ. “David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA...totally predictable given acceptance rates.)” Ingraham tweeted along with a link to a DailyWire story about the rejections. Hogg was turned down by four University of California schools--Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara and Irvine. The Parkland activist responded by calling on his supporters...

One of the student survivors of the Parkland, Fla., mass shooting is calling for people to target Fox News host Laura Ingraham's advertisers after she posted a critical tweet about him being rejected from colleges. Ingraham had tweeted a Daily Wire story earlier Wednesday about Parkland student David Hogg not getting into four colleges he had applied to.

Parkland shooting survivor and pro-gun control activist David Hogg is now leading a boycott campaign against Fox News host Laura Ingraham after she knocked him for complaining about colleges that rejected his applications. “David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it,” Ingraham wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning, linking a Daily Wire article. Her parenthetical: “Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA…totally predictable given acceptance rates.” Ingraham’s tweet sparked a backlash in the media. Hogg responded by targeting Ingraham’s advertisers. Hogg tweeted out a list of Ingraham’s 12 biggest advertisers and called on his followers...

WaPo/Laura Ingraham reporting ...........

WASHINGTON DC, March 15, 2018  (LifeSiteNews) – In a televised conversation with EWTN’s Raymond Arroyo about about the Vatican doctoring a photo of a letter by Pope Benedict so that it appears he is praising Pope Francis, Laura Ingraham was moved to ask, “What is this all about . . . Da Vinci Code stuff? While said in jest, Ingraham merely expressed aloud what many ponder inwardly.   Why do Catholics need to be told that Pope Francis is “A Man of His Word?” The Fox News Ingraham Angle segment featuring Arroyo began with a discussion about a soon-to-be released movie,...

Papal confidante Father Antonio Spadaro retweeted a call for EWTN to be severely censured “until they get rid of Raymond Arroyo.” The call for an “interdict” to be imposed on the Catholic media empire started by Mother Angelica came from Anthony Annett, Assistant to the Director at the International Monetary Fund’s Communications Department. An interdict is essentially one step short of excommunication. It bans a person or people from accessing most Church Sacraments. “A person who uses physical force against the Roman Pontiff incurs a latae sententiae excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See; if he is a cleric, another penalty,...

Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page said the GOP memo alleging surveillance abuses at the Department of Justice (DOJ) was worse than he could have imagined. During an interview late Monday on Fox News, Page was asked about his reaction to the recently released memo. "My first reaction, Laura, when I saw it was, you know, there was a lot of details that kept dripping out," he said. "And it sounded really bad. When I actually saw it, it was even worse than I could've possibly imagined." The four-page memo, released last Friday, accuses senior DOJ officials of improperly using...
