A growing list of advertisers decided to cut ties with right-wing television host Laura Ingraham on Thursday after she tweeted insults about a survivor of the February school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Late Thursday afternoon, candy-maker Nestle was the latest company to sour on Ingraham. "We have no plans to buy ads on the show in the future," a Nestle spokesperson told CNBC.
In a statement on Thursday, a spokesman for online travel website TripAdvisor said that the company does not "condone the inappropriate comments made by this broadcaster."

Awesome work Laura! Your non-apology is not accepted.

(15,169 posts)Why do they care about advertisers?
Aren't many of the advertisers owned by or own each other? Same damn people on the board-of-directors or shareholders?
Merdedoch is part of the same country-club elite.
If they want the witch to be on their own channel they can keep funneling funds in. Same with coulter and others.
Maybe the NRA/russia/mercer can start to influence CSPAN. ---- oh, wait.

(14,854 posts)That's crap. Playing musical shows with their ads doesn't impress me. I can't speak for anyone else, but I do my best to boycott any company that supports Fox News at all.

(776 posts)Just something about quick in the bottle. Maybe because its so sweet. The next thing up is maybe some pricey old fashioned chocolate milk. I heard the secret to that is chocolate pudding mix and malt
