Two days ago on Trump TV one Laura Ingraham had on two jerks,

And they mentioned espionage...........................and engaged in that word, when someone was going to testify during a hearing on Capital Hill, about the Ukrainian strong arming , extortion, blackmailing, whatever you want to call it by one Donald Trump to a foreign power to smear an American Candidate running to be president........................

After their stunt, I really would like to know who the sponsors support.....................People that go on a show and on her show that spew misinformation and accuse someone of being a spy basically, or are they for protecting this country from people that were on her show and having them saying that the individual was possibly conducting and could have been involved in espionage .......................with no facts to back that claim.....................

Or are they ( commercial sponsors ) there to just to make a buck and have no principles on Trump TV, and why the commercial sponsors are not outraged by what she and they did, and why they haven't they pulled there ads from her program...................

This is not about the First Amendment........................

I think that people should be boycotting the sponsors that had there commercials on that show that night..................

I think in my opinion that a campaign should be started to these firms..............to pull there advertisement dollars from that show and others or do they support a person(s) and a firm that airs this falsehood without any facts show and if they condone falsehoods and innuendoes about someone character and think and say with an angle,............. wink, wink, nod, nod that this person maybe doing espionage........ that is a serious claim and very serious claim to be put out there..................................and advertisement dollars to support this show is outrageous.................

I was surprised at a few of them. Of course some of them like My Pillow have been right wing nuts for years. It does help to put pressure on them to stop advertising, but ultimately they almost always end up going back. Asking a company to dismiss 1/2 of the country is asking a lot.

Which is painful enough. How do people sit in front of those horrible voices for hours at a time? Laura Ingraham's voice is awful, at least in that clip, like it's coming from behind a wall of mucus. It's not as bad as the meanness in Nancy Grace's or Jeanine Pirro's. Those voices are like cries from the depths of hell--they kind of burrow into your soul through your ears and make the world seem like an awful place. It's not just their words; if Jeanine Pirro read "Goodnight Moon" to me I'd never sleep again.

I just realized that the only three voices I've named are women's, but none of the female hosts on CNN or MSNBC (or anywhere else) sound the least bit grating or mean, at least to me. And I know that women's voices are often misogynistically described as shrill, but that's not what I'm saying, either; they don't sound shrill. They just sound deliberately harsh and intrusive, especially Grace's and Pirro's. Is it just me? Or is it some psychological trick they use to raise their viewers' blood pressure and make them angry?
