Laura Ingraham Accidentally Delivered The Best Self-Own Of 2018
Fox News host has now lost more than two dozen sponsors.

As a result, it raised eyebrows on Wednesday night when she delivered an awkward reference to doing her show without a commercial break ― not because of fleeing advertisers but because of all the material she had.

“Fantastic segment,” she said, thanking her guests. “We got more, though, here. We’re going to do the whole show without a break.”

She didn’t do the show without a break, but sponsors continue to pull the plug on “The Ingraham Angle.”

On Thursday, Red Lobster became the 26th advertiser to dump the show, according to The Wrap.

Even without his big advertisers he's still got 10-20 million (depending on who you ask) listeners a week. The best we can hope for is he has a massive myocardial infarction soon.

from the OP article -

However, not everyone is fleeing.

Forbes reports that My Pillow has increased advertising on the show by 625 percent since the week prior to Ingraham’s controversial March 28 comments.


But then that was to be expected.

Well that RW company can have fun funding the entire RW lineup.

that these sponsors advertised on the Fox network to begin with. No morals in the board rooms, just greed.

Thanks for the link, too! My best friend told me she tried a My Pillow, and didn't like it. Made her too sweaty.
