We are all victims when people are silenced. Loss of a few sponsors that will pander to the masses is one thing. Loss of enough to effect a silence no good at all.

She is free to say whatever she wants. And people are free to react however they want to her words.
 
Oh man, I was busy at work and couldn't check in and see what was happening.

I read another Yahoo article and the comments ran 100 to 1 for boycotting the sponsors who dropped her. They COULD all be Russians.....I suppose.

Bullying a teenager? That's the consensus?

Haha lololololol

Her show is trash. People have been speaking up about her before her shut up and dribble comments. She's a regular donkey of the day. The fact that her idiocy is JUST NOW losing sponsors is amazing.

Liked cuz her show probably is trash, don't watch it.

The problem is that there are tons of people who like it or it wouldn't get any sponsors.

I don't stay hooked to Twitter to feed my addiction, is there anything else she did besides say he whined about college?

If that's bullying I'm literally the meanest person left on the planet.

Just Google "shut up and dribble" .

But there's much more. I'll let you be the judge.

I don't care about her and if she becomes homeless over this. Not the point.

One day this trend will backfire on someone you like. Black Mirror come to life
 
That poor, poor woman. What's the world come to when a professional shit-stirrer like Laura Ingram steps over a line and her sponsors listen to their customers and tell her loud and clear "we have shareholders and we don't like losing money. Keep your mouth shut for a few weeks, until this blows over and we'll talk."

Some how I think you are likely smart enough to know this is not quite as you say. If you can be pandered, then it will be so, if hint you like their action, then their will be more. You can never learn a thing from a voice that can't be heard. But if you can be pandered, and that is the reason a voice can't be heard, how can you learn and they learn you can't be pandered.

Just more signs of modern day mob rule that is why. Notice how every time something bad happens they want the person in charge fired every time. Cop shooting? Fire the chief!

Every damn time. Twitter is like the women in Life of Brian waiting to stone someone.

The marketplace deciding the fate of a paid talking head? Capitalism works.

Marketplace? Really?

The marketplace would be her viewership numbers dropping. This is corporate people terrified of being accused of racism or sexism or in this case "bullying" a high school kid.

You know a kid who comes out swinging but is off limits somehow.

No. But I am getting ready to head up the coast the Santa Cruz and from there take a route out to the backside of the Pacific high and then reach back into Bandon. It might be spectacular run. We should hit the big eddy of the Pacific en-route.

That sounds like a much more interesting, and fruitful endeavor.

She should come up with some better takes than some weak ass ad hominem if she really wanted to wade into the middle of this. She fucked up and now she's paying a (probably temporary) cost.

Tempest in a teapot.

You are complaining about people who complain about things. You make fun of people when they are outraged about things that you find trivial. You are showing outrage against something that is trivial. Do you not see the hypocrisy involved here?

Nope. I'm worried about the future. I don't care about her at ALL.

I am one of a few if not the only one who thought Franken shouldn't have to resign.

She isn't off limits but these aren't words used to show her she is wrong. This is "fuck you WE will bully your sponsors into silencing you"

Watch Black Mirror if you haven't. Every word you say can and will be used against you in the court of public opinion.

BUT HES JUST A KID!! who somehow can't defend himself but at the same time everybody backs what he says on a very very important subject when it comes to gun laws. I think mr david hogg can take it. I am sure he has heard worse from gun nuts on twitter in his mentions

I give a shit about it. Sometimes I'm just a hypocrite and say so. I just wish other people would admit it once in a blue moon.

Yes, it seems there is hypocrisy working big time here. Worry of a kid getting bullied when the left is using him like one time postage stamp for their bull shit anti Constitutional causes. Perhaps the word hypocrisy is a little light weight for this case.

I think not only can he defend himself, he did defend himself by calling out her sponsors. Laura Ingraham, a professional shit-slinger just got wolloped by a kid. Why? Because this kid has a voice that’s being heard right now.

I had no idea what this thread was about until I saw a news story last night about a woman commentator on Fox who was denigrating one of the young kids from Parkland, Florida who are lobbying for more gun control. Now, I think she's the one being discussed in here. If she is the one in the topic here then I've got a couple things to say.

1. This is America and everyone has the right to make an ass out of themselves;
2. She exercised her American right to make a royal ass out of herself.

What's more to say?

Yeah exactly, I’m just saying some people give too much power to those who are slandering these kids but at the same time they also are giving too much power and trust to the kids as well. While conveniently ignoring the kid from the school that’s a conservative. Kyle kashuv is his name. Nobody is giving this kid the time of day because of his views. Everybody knows David Hogg but not this kid. Why? Because he’s pro gun. That’s not the agenda of national news media except fox. I’m just saying, it needs to be equal across the board

Agreed, it needs to be equal.

Why do we only hear about the 17 kids that were killed with a gun, and not the other 17 kids who were killed with gun control that day? It's like the latter group doesn't even exist...
