This is war.

Conservatives ought to band together and boycott the cowardly advertisers who allowed a high school kid to do this dastardly deed. Just saying.

I dont believe FOX was “railing” against anything
They were the adult voice of reason
Something seldom if ever heard from the WashPost

I really hope Camera Hogg is nearing the end of his 15 minutes of fame. He is just tedious now.

If they don’t stand up for her, they will be admitting that their coverage is subject to the approval of snowflakes like David Hogg. It would mean advertisers control the content.

Maybe a day late, but it is the only right thing to do. However, when doing the right thing today is sparse, I hesitantly applaud FOX but these actions SHOULD be expected.

FOX either pushes back now (with FORCE) or they wither into gnarled vines and news tentacles of no use to any they serve.

One punk does not a revolution make.

Actually the sales group at FNC ought to take this as an opportunity to find smaller businesses to advertise on Laura’s show.

What are the #3 and #4 streaming services or office supply chains? Give them a great rate. Or find regional.companies. Sell ad time to other types of business firms. Maybe home schooling groups. Or religious organizations.

People still watch Laura. See if the camera hogs will call on folks to boycott small business or charitable groups feeding the hungry.

All sorts of winning is possible.

Fox News is a business that sells advertising. Political commentary and news programming is the platform used to draw viewers which determines their ad rates and thus their revenue. Fox News is owned by a nutty bunch of liberals.

So pardon me if I don’t see this as the last word on this subject. Maybe they will ignore these advertisers and find new ones who will support Laura’s positions, which would resolve the issue. Maybe this is just a ruse to buy time til they negotiate her out of her contract and she quits to “pursue other alternatives”. Maybe they will just run her program as a public service even if they lose money on it (yeah, right).

Or maybe “co-president Jack Abernethy” will be over-ruled by an other “co-president” or be the next to hit the streets himself.

No functional organization operates with “co-presidents”, that’s just a way of saying “this guy doesn’t have complete authority to speak for Fox News”.

Fox News uses presenters like Laura Ingraham to sell ads, they are not a political or educational organization.

It seems to me companies that want maximum advert exposure will be lining up to fill those cowards slots, my guess is that has already happened hence FNC’s support for Ingram.

My first instinct was to tell Laura to get back on air on her TV show next week and, burn this little “Satan” a new butt, right where it will hurt him the most.

But.....the best thing she should do is to ignore him completely and the companies that said they are boycotting the “Laura’ show. None of them have any impact...they are lost at sea and have nary a clue how to function in the real world of life.

This “Fifteen Minute Of Fame”, wise punk, David Hogg has had his moment...tracking the wrong provokers of this massacre, murder of seventeen innocents. He should be hounding Democrat Party, Debbi Wasserman Shultz, Poster Boy, Broward County, Florida, Sheriff, Scott Israel, his cohorts, all the public servants of Broward County that failed their kids in not preventing this horrible incident from occurring and the FBI low life that did not perform their public service to protect and defend the innocent.

The Democrat, Independent & Republican voters in Broward County, Florida who voted for these low life Democrats should look in the mirror because they, themselves, share the responsibility of killing their most precious gifts from God Almighty...their kids. Shame on everyone of them that remains silent in placing the blame where it rightly belongs.

“agenda-driven intimidation efforts,” - ie. bullying.

Good to see Fox stand up to bullies. If advertisers told them to shove as well they would quickly find out that the bullies were all bark and no bite.

Fox News stands by Laura Ingraham, rails against ‘intimidation efforts’ of advertiser pullout

Fox bigshots found a pair? Let’s see how long it takes for them to lose them?
