A campaign led by anti-gun activist David Hogg aimed at the advertisers of Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show The Ingraham Angle appears to have backfired, as her ratings have reportedly risen by over 20 percent.
“Since Ingraham returned from vacation on April 9, total viewership of her program has averaged about 2.7 million (Monday through Thursday; Friday’s numbers are not available),” Newsbusters reported.
“Compare that to the ratings from March 26 through March 29, the Monday through Thursday just prior to the boycott: That week, Ingraham’s total viewership averaged 2.23 million,” it continued. “The increase in her ratings since the boycott began is more than 20 percent.”
The rise in ratings follows a campaign led by student activist David Hogg, who began targeting Ingraham’s advertisers after she made derogatory comments about Hogg’s failure to get into certain colleges – an action for which she later apologized.
I still find it difficult to reconcile the information about this Hogg guy. He is claimed to be a survivor of the Parkland shooting in all the media stories. But I swear I heard that he was not even at the school on the day of that incident. And the first time I heard him on the MSM he sounded exactly like a well trained liberal media shill rather than an ordinary high school student that just experienced such a terrible incident. Just saying he doesn’t seem to be what we are being told.
