1. I had no idea the boycott was holding strong...

....with not too bad ratings, I thought the boycott might eventually fade - but it's doing so well. I am glad.

3. Surging Ratings!!

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!
Yeah, sure. Surging amongst which demographic, and from 1000 people to 5000 people is a surge, only in relative terms.

8. Good ratings without ad sales are called "empty calories"

A boycott by advertisers eventually doomed the Glen Beck show of Fox. Beck had okay ratings but no ad sales and so empty calories

4. Bottom feeders?

Like Boost Mobile and Cash 4 Gold? Those kinds of bottom feeders?

5. A vile human being. Racist piece of garbage.

6. So she's among her own kind?

Must be very comfortable.

7. Big advertisers still shunning Ingraham's Fox News show months after boycotts

This makes me smile https://www.politico.com/story/2018/10/16/ingraham-fox-news-advertising-902466

Ingraham, the conservative radio talker-turned-Fox News opinion host, infuriated gun-control advocates in March when she mocked Parkland, Fla., shooting survivor and activist David Hogg for being rejected by a handful of colleges. Hogg called for his supporters to boycott brands until they stopped advertising on Ingraham’s show, leading several major companies to drop out. He renewed the call in June, after Ingraham compared facilities at which immigrant children were being held to “summer camps.”

It’s not unusual for advertisers to flee temporarily when controversy strikes a television program. But the sustained loss of advertising minutes and big, nationally recognized brands from "The Ingraham Angle" shows the power of activist-led boycotts and the depth of major corporations' concerns about offending would-be consumers in the hyperpoliticized era of President Donald Trump.

Early this year, Ingraham’s show averaged nearly 15 minutes of advertisements per hour, in line with those of her Fox News prime-time colleagues Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, according to an analysis for POLITICO by Kantar Media.
