Boycott of Laura Ingraham Grows After She Mocks Shooting Survivor
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Fox News host Laura Ingraham apologized Thursday for mocking high school
student David Hogg, who survived last month's school shooting in
Parkland, Florida, which left 17 people dead and 14 others wounded. On
Wednesday, Ingraham tweeted, "David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To
Which He Applied and whines about it." Her comment prompted Hogg to call
on his more than 600,000 Twitter followers to boycott advertisers who
sponsor Ingraham's show. So far at least four companies-Trip Advisor,
Nestlé, Wayfair and Nutrish-have ended their sponsorship of Ingraham's
program.
