In reply to the discussion: Advertisers pull ads from Fox's Ingraham after her jab at Parkland student [View all]Julian Englis
(2,309 posts)14. Even after her apology advertisers continue to pull ads
The Hill reported that Wayfair has pulled ads despite Ingrahams apology. Given her record of offensive statements, it seems the only reasonable thing for a business to do.
Online home goods company Wayfair said it will stop advertising on Fox News host Laura Ingraham's show after she posted a tweet critical of a Parkland, Fla., high school student.
"As a company, we support open dialogue and debate on issues. However, the decision of an adult to personally criticize a high school student who has lost his classmates in an unspeakable tragedy is not consistent with our values," Wayfair's head of public relations, Jane Carpenter, told CNBC.
"We do not plan to continue advertising on this particular program."

The apology needs to be in person and groveling, as far as I'm concerned.
