IAC wont run spots for HomeAdvisor and Angies List after the host likens detention centers to summer camp.
At least one major advertiser has dropped Laura Ingrahams 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, its 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 Angies List on the show, an IAC spokesperson confirmed on Thursday. The day after Ingrahams 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.
During her show on Monday night, Ingraham described the detention centers for immigrant children separated from their parents on the Mexican border as essentially like summer camps, further comparing them to boarding schools.
Between June 4 and 15, IAC was Ingrahams second-biggest advertiser, according to Kantar Media, running 13 ads for HomeAdvisor. The company had already stopped airing ads for Match.com after Hoggs previous boycott campaign.
A Fox News spokesperson said the network was unaffected by any loss in advertising resulting from Ingrahams latest comments.
Theres been no impact on our business, and new advertisers continue to opt in for our powerful prime-time lineup, the spokesperson said.
