The boycott against Laura Ingraham has taken one advertiser hostage.
At least one major advertiser has dropped Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show in the wake of her comments on Monday about immigrant children separated from their parents. With advertising time on the conservative daily talk show down since Monday night, it’s possible that other companies have also bailed on “The Ingraham Angle.”
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.
They’re celebrating:

IAC will not run run ads for HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List on Fox during the @IngrahamAngle show because of the sheer number of people who have reached out to them in anger!!
Let's keep this going until she's GONE!
And targeting other advertisers:
Hey, @DollarShaveClub! I’ve always loved your hysterically funny, creative ads.

But finding out you advertise with @IngrahamAngle makes me want to shave.
That woman is a monster working overtime to hurt others. I’ll be advising everyone I know to boycott you until you drop her.
The following companies are advertising on @IngrahamAngle even after she compared child internment camps to summer camps.

But it looks like Fox News is standing behind Ingraham on this one. I just don’t see the point of mocking the plight of kids being separated from their families. I guess I’m not #MAGA enough.
