Trip Adviser (Expedia) and Nestle drop Laura Ingraham

Advertisers – including TripAdvisor, Nestle and Wayfair – are dumping Laura Ingraham after she slammed Parkland survivor

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."

If she loses a few more sponsors, she's gone.

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

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.

We have "no plans" to buy . . . Their plans could change tomorrow!

They should have said we "are not" buying . . .

Just a watch out!

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.

I tried to call the number they had on the contacts page, but it's constantly busy.

If anyone has a link for an e-mail address, please let us know! Thanks.

I find a 72% dark chocolate bar very slowly melted and mixed with milk/whatever is much yummier than the powdered variety.

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
