Laura Ingraham Loses 17 Sponsors After Her Parkland Tweet

At least 17 major companies have announced they are pulling their sponsorship of Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program. The moves come after a Wednesday tweet by the anchor was widely seen as mocking Parkland, Florida, school shooting survivor David Hogg. The flight of sponsors is a major threat to Ingraham. She launched her show last October to strong ratings. Ingraham also announced on Friday that she would take a two-week vacation that she claimed was pre-planned.
