So, someone explain exactly what Laura Ingram did wrong.

HER marketplace is HER advertisers. Its that way for all media stars. You either know where they are or somebody will remind you of where they are.

If she wanted to talk about Hogg, talk about the issue he represents and how you think its coo-coo and nobody can touch you. She decided to take something he said that was entirely unrelated and twist it into an out of context personal attack to twang some emotion out of her audience and that is what cost her. Nothing more and nothing less.

Her advertisers got extorted. It's silly to think that trolling someone who's flung the f-bomb at MILLIONS of Americans couldn't stand up to someone calling him out for whining.
Hogg knows what Ingraham did wasn't a big deal, but he also knows that he could use it to attempt to destroy her and keep her conservative voice from reaching her audience.

You realize that most heads of corporations are conservative/republicans? These are the companies that sponsor Inghram's show. If your argument is that these guys are easily spooked by tweets from liberals, it's your argument that is weak, dude.

If her political voice is twisting words taken out of context into personal attacks then she will likely find herself in exactly the same place again.

I repeat, if she had attacked Hogg on the issue I doubt she would be where she is right now. Is Hogg running for some public office?....I didn't know that.

That's the point, Hogg doesn't need to hide, twitter and media are building a porch over his head. But he can deliver whatever nasty names aimed at others he wants, apparently.

That poor kid is going to think he's invincible until suddenly, he isn't useful to them anymore.
 
Discussion on this thread has been volatile but relatively civil.

Kudos to the moderators.

Kudos to the forum.


*high five*

What consequences? She is still employed, and I am just betting she'll have more viewers after Hogg's five minutes of fame is over.

Being forced to eat crow (her forced apology) and the loss of sponsors.

Do you need a dictionary for 'consequences?'
 
Skeptic Bob said:
True, but as a result of the backlash now everyone knows he didn’t get accepted. I have never watched or listened to one second of Laura Ingram so it was only because of the backlash I heard about it. My guess is that is true for a very large number of people.

I just think a lot of this is counterproductive.

He wasnt doing anything 'wrong' in agreeing to do her show...so why should he have to live with that now? He agreed to do it to share his views, and knew hers were different. He didnt know she'd make personal attacks.
 
Gondwanaland said:
well that's nice for you. I'm sure I would never do some things that you do. Does that make you wrong?

No it probably means you have poor judgement.
 
Roadvirus said:
That's because he's being propped up as the Liberal's voice for gun control. They figure it's easier to send a kid to do a man's job because if someone jabs him, they can easily scream "Oh no! You're attacking A KID!! You HORRIBLE PERSON!!" and they win the argument automatically and take down their opponent at teh same time.

I still wonder who is operating this kid's strings and for how much.

I think the students HS teacher is advising them...and he's doing it pro bono....

Other than that, the students are pulling their own strings. There was a CBS documentary about it...

Hogg did stand up to her bullying and now he is beating her like a rented mule :lamo

Hogg has not delivered any nasty names. It is the right that is swimming in name calling and bullying personal attacks, and for a good reason:

Because the pro-gun snowflakes are losing

He called millions of americans 'child murderers' and 'pathetic f***ers' for exercising and supporting gun rights. He called various politicians "f***er"/"f***ers" for not supporting his agenda.

And this was his screed about his parents and other adults: "It's like when your old-a** parents are like, ‘I don't know how to send an iMessage,' and you're just like, ‘Give me the f***ing phone' and you take it and you're like, ‘OK, let me handle it,' and you get it done in one second. Sadly, that's what we have to do with our government because our parents don't know how to use a f**(ing democracy, so we have to."


But yeah, sure no delivering of nasty names to see here :roll::roll:

Follow the money.

It’s a strange political fact, but nearly every major anti-gun group has been a front group. The NRA is maligned 24/7 and yet it’s completely obvious whom it represents. Despite the efforts to tie it to everyone from firearms manufacturers to the Russians (if you can’t tie any random Republican thing to the Russians these days, you won’t be working at the Washington Post or CNN for very long), it represents its five million members. Anti-gun groups tend to represent shadowy networks.

Take Everytown, the noisiest and most dishonest anti-gun group on the scene. The one consistent thing about anti-gun groups is that that they are usually the opposite of what their name says they are.

Everytown for Gun Safety was formed out of two other groups: Moms Demand Action and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Both are actually front groups for Michael Bloomberg, the lefty billionaire and former boss of the Big Apple, who used New York City resources to host at least one of its websites.

So Everytown is really New York City.

March for Our Lives is on every cable channel, but who runs it? The photogenic teen fronts are out front. But it’s obvious to everyone that a bunch of teens don’t have the resources and skills to coordinate a nationwide movement. Instead it’s the experienced activists who are actually running things.

The March for Our Lives Fund is incorporated as a 501(c)(4). Donations to 501(c)(4) groups are not tax- deductible. And they don’t have to disclose donors. That’s why they’re a great dark money conduit.

But the March for Our Lives website suggests that donors who want to make a tax-deductible donation should write a check to the “March For Our Lives—Everytown Support Fund”. How will Bloomberg’s organization provide support for the supposed student group?

Donations are being directed to, “March For Our Lives Fund, 16130 Ventura Blvd Ste 320, Encino, CA 91435.” That matches the listed office address on the application for the Wishnow Ross Warsavsky & Company. The tax firm appears to have no website.

The address is a large office building...and Wishnow Ross Warsavsky & Company doesn't have a suite number. So the article may be implicating innocent people that have nothing to do with the march.

That is a lie.

Without lies, right wingers would have nothing to say.

That's the address that MarchForOurLives is directing donations to, so, what, you're saying that they're lying and it's a fake address or something? Seems a rather odd thing to do - no way to get your checks/donations then.

In any case, had you done even the slightest bit of legwork beyond google mapping and then asserting, you'd know that Yelp lists Wishnow Ross Warsavsky & Company at that address including that suite number: https://www.yelp.com/biz/wishnow-ross-warsavsky-and-company-encino so your attempt to imply the article is somehow sinisterly implicating innocent people that have nothing to do with the march falls apart rather quickly. Rather sad well poisoning attempt.
