1. Ha!

[Tarheel_Dem]

2. If they're still advertising on the network, what difference does it make? Will Ingraham be....

replaced?

[Mr.Bill]

8. They won't have their own show if they can't sell ads. n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. I seem to remember the Stop Rush movement, and advertisers were fleeing in droves, but he's....

still on the air. I don't watch Ingraham, and I could care less what happens to her tv career, but I just wondered about the effectiveness of the boycott. I guess we'll have to wait and see if Fox carries her, even without advertising.

[Mr.Bill]

17. Well, Fox News is different than syndicated hate radio.

So we'll see.

I think there needs to be a concerted effort to go after Fox advertisers is a whole, not just individual shows.

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. I agree that the entire network and its advertisers need to be boycotted. n/t

[gibraltar72]

22. I'm in.

Does anyone know if Arbys has done the right thing? Asking for a friend.

[flamin lib]

27. He's still around but his coverage is down to a tiny fraction of

what his network once was. He went from demanding mega $millions to just staying on the air.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. Rush is still on the air but his syndicator is in financial difficulties. . . . . nt

[FakeNoose]

23. Same thing happened to Bill O'Reilly a year ago

After O'Reilly was hit with all the sexual allegations/lawsuits, his sponsors dropped him like hotcakes. His show was cancelled and he was out in less than a week. And he had higher ratings than Laura's show did.

[Tarheel_Dem]

26. Fingers crossed. n/t

[BigmanPigman]

3. Good...now there are about 120 advertisers left to follow suit.

[nolabear]

4. Note these people believe there are enough who disapprove of her attacks to matter.

That's cheering.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

5. AT&T really needs to drop her & her hate rhetoric.

I was going to take advantage of their incentives to “bundle” services. But no more.

6. Local News last night stated ATT was under extreme pressure to join the ban

They noted that there was no public response yet to the pressure.

Waiting.....
Maybe they need more pressure 😐😡

[Canoe52]

16. I tweeted @att, I think Ill go do it again.

[Wwcd]

25. I'll join you, and mention who the next generation of tech users stand with also.

"Who are your future consumers AT&T?"

I'll ask them.

[Major Nikon]

34. They just sent me a survey and I rated them negatively

I left a message stating if they continue to sponsor Laura Ingraham I’m going to take my $300 per month elsewhere.

[Wwcd]

41. Wooo Hoooo for You!!

Short & to the point.

[Dem2]

40. At&t is a far right company

I worked there for years, what a pit

[Hortensis]

7. Excellent. Apparently Ingraham has become more Colterish over time.

I don't watch either of them so didn't know. But it's a pattern most of the right has followed, so very believable.

Most of these sponsors probably signed on when her message and the audience they were advertising to weren't overall quite so extremist and nasty. Someone on TV was surprised that the first 9 companies dumped her so promptly, but this probably not the first, or second, time it was discussed. Just the last time.

Way late, but...

[Cha]

9. And, after her "apology"..

Link to tweet

Thank you, Wwcd!

[flibbitygiblets]

10. As Colbert said, she apologized because it's "holy week". Any of the other 51 weeks, she'd stand by

her vile words. I hope she gets fired.

[Cha]

14. That was a stupid qualifier..

she moronically attacked him during Holy Week.

And, she "apologized" because she was losing sponsors.

Thanks for telling what Colbert said, flibbitygiblets

[calimary]

33. Another vile snake wrapping herself around the Cross of Christ.

To feign reverence and “Christian” “values”. Won’t convince this lifelong Catholic that she’s “sorry.” She’s only sorry her mean-spiritedness created a nice little shitstorm for herself.

[Cha]

43. Exactly, calimary.. just like Christ

predicted according to scripture that I have read.

[Wwcd]

18. Hey Cha! These companies are looking at the next generation of voters & consumers & future policy

makers & legislatures.

These companies are looking at their shortened life span under hacks like Ingraham.

The longevity of their business belongs to the Parkland generation.

As a business model, they see the future ...and it doesn't look like Mean Lady Ingraham.

She has reached her sell-by date.
Nice thought huh!

[Cha]

42. Oh that's right.. never even thought

of that!

Mahalo, Wwcd

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Sad that it took this series of events

for a Japanese company to realize what it was supporting

[SCVDem]

35. I don't think Japan even knows.

This would likely be Honda North America.

Et tu Arby's? Never again until they follow the leaders!

[bucolic_frolic]

38. You're probably right

I was just thinking how until after WWII how wars with Japan were perceived as racist in nature. Maybe, hopefully, we've gotten past that?

[renate]

12. woo!

We love our new CR-V. I'm glad Honda did the right thing!

[Wwcd]

20. Young graduating new voters prefer Honda..too.

Smart move Honda.

[workinclasszero]

15. Hey Laura

[Wwcd]

19. LOL...

Perfect

[Initech]

29. Should have bought Ha Ha insurance!

[PCIntern]

24. Well everyone knows that

Abscess makes the fart go Honda.

Punchline to the best dental joke ever.

[Stuart G]

30. Question...what was the background of the "Nazi Salute?"

I saw a picture of it as I went through the responses...How did that happen? When?

[Initech]

31. So are the MAGAts going to start destroying their Civics now?

Go on, Trump fans, you know you want to!

[C Moon]

37. "MAGAts" :D :D :D

[grantcart]

32. Car advertisers own a really large percentage of the total market

[C Moon]

36. Wowzers!!!! Somebody's flipping out by now. :D

[Honeycombe8]

39. I'm so proud that I have a Honda!!!
