School shooting survivor David Hogg helped initiate a boycott of companies that purchase advertising during the The Ingraham Angle.[1] Hogg called for the boycott after television host Laura Ingraham taunted him on Twitter about his college application.[1] Hogg accused her of cyberbullying.[1] In response to the boycott, some advertisers left the show. [1] Following the loss of advertisers, Ingraham apologized.[2] Hogg dismissed the apology as insincere as he and his supporters continued the pressure campaign on her show's advertisers.[3]

Background

On 14 February 2018 Hogg, age 17, survived the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in which a mass shooter killed 17 people and wounded 17 more. By 17 February he and other shooting survivors founded Never Again MSD, a student group advocating for safety in school. On 24 March Never Again MSD was a lead organizer of March for Our Lives, a global student-led demonstration with some demands to change gun law in the United States.

On 28 March The Daily Wire wrote an article listing the colleges which were and were not offering admission to Hogg.[4] This met with widespread disapproval. Later that day Fox News personality Laura Ingraham attacked Hogg for being rejected by several colleges, which she said he "whines" about; in response, he urged people to boycott her advertisers.[5][6] Within two days, fifteen companies had ceased advertising on her show.[7] She apologized for her remark,[8][9] but he rejected it, saying she had only apologized because firms had been leaving her show, and that he would accept an apology in the future if she denounced the way her network treated him and his friends.[10] Republican strategist Steve Schmidt described why Hogg's boycott of Ingraham's advertisers was so successful:

Maybe that’s what happens after you’ve been down range of an AR-15 that kills your classmates and comes close to killing you. You lose all fear. Because this kid’s not scared. He’s not scared of the NRA. He’s not intimidated and scared by Laura Ingraham.[11]

Hogg also suggested Ingraham apologise to LeBron James for telling him to "...shut up and dribble".[12]

Fox News, Ingraham's media organization, responded to the boycott saying, "We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts".[13]
