Miracle-Ear joins growing list of companies pulling ads from Ingraham’s show
Hearing aid manufacturer Miracle-Ear is pulling its ads from Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show.
The company is one of at least 14 to pull advertising from “The Ingraham Angle” after she attacked Parkland, Fla., shooting survivor David Hogg on Twitter.
“As of this morning, we have removed The Ingraham Angle from our TV advertising plan,” the company wrote in a tweet. “It may take a few days for this change to take effect.”

Miracle-Ear joins a growing list of companies, including Nestle, TripAdvisor, Office Depot and Ruby Tuesday, who have abandoned the show in recent days. In the wake of her advertisers fleeing, Ingraham announced Saturday that she is taking a vacation next week. {mosads}
Ingraham faced backlash after she posted a tweet mocking Hogg for being rejected from colleges.
David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA…totally predictable given acceptance rates.) https://t.co/wflA4hWHXY

Hogg responded by asking his followers to target her advertisers.

Ingraham apologized, but not before companies began pulling their advertisements. Hogg said he would not accept her apology unless she also held her network accountable for its coverage of him and his fellow student survivors of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last month.
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
