Stoneman Douglas shooting survivor David Hogg launched a boycott against Laura Ingraham after the segment and *at least* one major advertiser has pulled the plug. From Politico:

The media and internet company IAC will no longer be running ads for HomeAdvisor or Angie’s List on the show, an IAC spokesperson confirmed on Thursday. The day after Ingraham’s statements, David Hogg, a survivor of the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, called on advertisers, including IAC, to boycott Ingraham, a reprise of the highly successful boycott campaign he launched against her in April, after she insulted him on Twitter.

Politico notes that others may have bailed because there have been fewer spots offered. Fox News contends the boycott is not hurting them:

A Fox News spokesperson said the network was unaffected by any loss in advertising resulting from Ingraham’s latest comments.

“There’s been no impact on our business, and new advertisers continue to opt in for our powerful prime-time lineup,” the spokesperson said.
