- Subjecting themselves to being jacked around by every liberal axe-grinder
- Why did they advertise there in the first place?
- Talk show hosts say something everyday someone gets overwrought about
- Conservative consumers can play the game
“A growing number of companies will heed calls from a survivor of the Florida high school shooting to drop their advertisements on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program after the host mocked the student on Twitter.”
Readers Are Urged To Read Ingraham’s “Grievous” Offense And Weep for The ‘Poor Young Hogg’! :
“David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA…totally predictable given acceptance rates.)”, Laura Ingraham
Yep. That’s it! How will young Hogg ever recover?

THERE ARE FEW MORE COWARDLY, PHONY, IMMATURE (YES, THAT’S THE WORD) PEOPLE IN AMERICA THAN MANY MAJOR CORPORATE CEO’S.
IT ONLY TAKES A PR DEPARTMENT PERPETUALLY NERVOUS ABOUT IT STANDING WITH THE BOSS…OR AN ACTIVIST MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS…OR A HANDFUL OF LEFTIST FELLOW CEO’S…OR SIMPLY A WEAK-WILLED CORPORATE CHIEFTAIN WHO READS TEN TWEETS FROM A HALF-DOZEN ‘BOTS’ AND THINKS IT REPRESENTS HIS/HER ENTIRE CUSTOMER BASE, TO SET AN OTHERWISE RESPECTED CORPORATE ENTITY ON A PATH OF ABJECT FOOLISHNESS.
A SAVVY INVESTOR NEEDS TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT COMPANIES LIKE NESTLE OR WAYFAIR AND EVALUATE WHETHER AN ENTITY HEADED BY SOMEONE WITH THIS KIND OF JUDGMENT IS A SOUND INVESTMENT.
CUSTOMERS, TOO, MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER WHETHER THEY WANT TO SUPPORT THIS KIND OF SNIVELING BEHAVIOR WHEN THERE ARE OTHER PROVIDERS OF THE SAME TYPE OF PRODUCT OR SERVICE WHO ARE SURPRISINGLY, PERHAPS, BETTER IN MANY WAYS, INCLUDING SOUND MANAGERIAL JUDGMENT. DLH
Companies pull ads from Fox’s Ingraham after her jab at Parkland student
Here is said to be a list of companies that have pulled their advertising from Laura Ingraham show:
Honda , Atlantis resort, Principal Entertainment Studios , Ruby Tuesday, Jenny Craig, Liberty Mutual, Miracle-Ear, Office Depot, Johnson & Johnson, Stitch Fix, Hulu, Expedia, Nestle, Nutrish, TripAdvisor
Boycott the conservative boycotters:
Conservatives tech gurus might want to set up a conservative buyers internet search engine such that it would only go to company sites with at least a lick of evenhandedness, which would exclude the companies boycotting Laura Ingraham. It could be a serious revenue source for a start-up.
Without benefit of that, and just glancing at the list, consider what a million conservatives dedicated to some consciousness about the matter might engender. Sales losses in the billions for those ass-hole run companies.
Might liberals produce similar results? Yes and no. It seems to us the more egregious perceived offender is the one who announces their anathema toward you or yours, that would be the listees. But the point is these pathetically managed companies support and/or fear liberals more. They ought to be “home-schooled” about the situation they put themselves in.
Take Honda — if a million conservatives subscribe to such a website or instinctively reject what Honda has done, and 10% are in the market for a car this year and then say no to Honda . . . that would be 100,000 people not buying a Honda car who might have considered one (they make a lot more than cars). Great companies compete with them. So, at say an average price of $20,000 a car (probably more) that is potentially two billion less sales for Honda and going to competitors. Way to go conservatives!
Trip advisor would be another easy one. They are easily substitutable. Say you take one or two trips a year booking through them at $1500 each. The resultant figure as regards them approaches a billion dollars in lost bookings at 30 % of conservatives “tripping” and going elsewhere.
Maybe for one reason or another the boycott of the Ingraham boycotters isn’t pure or conservative consumers are unable to conveniently be 100% consistent. It is still a direct and important response to let them know on occasion how and why they substituted others in place of their products. For example I avoid purchasing Pepsi products due to their CEO’s public denigration of Trump. I have great confidence I have cost them several hundred dollars in sales from a fairly casual counter-boycott. The next time you get a solicitation from one of the listed companies let them know, “not today and I will curtail or eliminate your company from my favored purchasing list” Give them a piece of your mind.
