Well, I see Laura Ingram has backed off. She's a master of casual cruelty. Good to see she finally got her comeuppance.

Absolutely or she wouldn't have apologize.

Reading is fundamental. Gotcha.
"Gotcha" as in "Ok, I understand you" not "gotcha as in "I caught you out".

Others have said repeatedly that she attacked Hogg.

And you question MY reading skills?

It’s sad that conservatives can’t believe that a kid who saw his friends massacred, might be acting in his own agency to prevent further massacres. He has to be a pawn, for you people.

Again, I can never tell which talking points you actually believe or just parroting back. It’s shameful.

Absolutely. Barron can't help it that he has a scumbag for a father. I wasn't thrilled about Limbaugh and the picture of a dog he held up on his TV show to attack Chelsea, either. Attacking children is uncalled for.

According to the admission sites from the schools which declined to admit him he did not meet the minimum SAT score with his 1270 at UCLA or was not that much above the minimum and was below the average for the admissions class at two of the others:

http://admission.universityofcalifor...shman-profile/

He did meet the cut off for UCSD

Freshman admission profile | UC Admissions

as he did for UCSB

Freshman admission profile | UC Admissions

He did hit the cutoff for UC Irvine.

http://admission.universityofcalifor...shman-profile/

As I said earlier, he should have kept quiet and only publicized where he was admitted (Cal State San Marcos, Cal Poly and Florida Atlantic).

So, y'all grown adults around here put yourself on the same level as a 17 old kid?

You're feeling bullied? The Kids really are doing an effective number, aren't they?

Parkland Student-Activist David Hogg Targets Laura Ingraham's Advertisers For Boycott
Did you notice the update within your link?

“ Laura Ingraham issued a public apology to Hogg after Nutrish and Trip Advisor announced they were pulling their ads from her Fox New show”.

Expedia, Wayfair and Nestle also killed their sponsorship.

What the hello is a 53 year old doing tweeting about the kid’s 4.1 GPA ?

He is a pawn.....again, sad you cannot see it, just like the "march" with the kids....turns out it did happen, but how many were kids marching.....

Yes, like talking points...that's fed to him....
