Laura Ingraham Faces Ad Boycott On Her Show After 'Summer Camp' Comment

By Kate Riga | June 22, 2018 8:17 am

At least one advertiser—and possibly more—has dropped Fox News host Laura Ingraham’s show, “The Ingraham Angle,” after her comment Monday comparing immigration detention centers to summer camps, according to a Thursday Politico report.

IAC, a media and internet company that is reportedly Ingraham’s second biggest advertiser, has pulled commercials for Angie’s List and Home Advisor from the show’s block.

A Fox News spokesperson told Politico that the boycott is not affecting business. “There’s been no impact on our business, and new advertisers continue to opt in for our powerful prime-time lineup,” the spokesperson said.

According to research analysts, the ad time on Ingraham’s show has dropped “significantly” since Monday’s show during which she made the remark, leading them to conclude that other advertisers have pulled out as well. Many advertisers declined to discuss their ad buys with Politico.

2. People realize this happened to her before, quite recently, and she's still there, right?

I thought they all fled? Unless....they DIDN'T leave? Or they left to make a show of it and then came back?

Cost of advertising goes down to fill the available time. New people come in that didn't want to pay enough to be on there before.

Just a guess, but seems to make sense.

comment came back.

They don't care. Her show isn't going to be dropped. Fox News is Nazi propaganda, and nothing is going to stop them.
