Laura Ingraham’s downward spiral continues as The Hill reports global investment group Principal has pulled its ads from the Fox News host’s show. This is still in response to her childish attack on 17-year-old Parkland survivor David Hogg.
Hogg and his friends took to Twitter to demand Ingraham’s advertisers pull their sponsorship from her program earlier this week, listing several of her more notable advertisers.

Ingraham did issue a half-hearted apology to Hogg, but Hogg rejected the sentiment, noting that she only apologized in a desperate attempt to win back her ad revenue.
Any student should be proud of a 4.2 GPA —incl. @DavidHogg111. On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland. For the record, I believe my show was the first to feature David…(1/2)

… immediately after that horrific shooting and even noted how "poised" he was given the tragedy. As always, he’s welcome to return to the show anytime for a productive discussion. WATCH: https://t.co/5wcd00wWpd (2/2)

Hogg kept the pressure on, tweeting this in response.
I 100% agree an apology in an effort just to save your advertisers is not enough. I will only accept your apology only if you denounce the way your network has treated my friends and I️ in this fight. It’s time to love thy neighbor, not mudsling at children. https://t.co/H0yWs4zMGk

Social media further criticized Ingraham for failing to delete her original tweet to Hogg, leading many to call her “half sorry.”
These Parkland kids may be the solution to the fake news machine, after all.
