Free speech controversy over boycott of Fox commentator
Eleven advertisers dropped sponsorship for Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program after she taunted the Parkland, Florida shooting survivor David Hogg for failing to get into some colleges he applied to. Hogg reacted by calling for advertisers to boycott her program. Hogg has been an outspoken critic of the National Rifle Association. Many Ingraham supporters announced their intention to boycott the advertisers in defense of her free speech rights. (CBS Los Angeles, March 30, 2018) Carmine
