BASF is the 26th sponsor to drop Ingraham’s show. Her ad time has dropped by half. [https://www.thewrap.com/basf-one-laura-ingrahams-last-advertisers-drops/](https://www.thewrap.com/basf-one-laura-ingrahams-last-advertisers-drops/)

[Sleeping Giants](https://twitter.com/slpng_giants) notes that for most networks, such reputational damage would be too much to bear. Fox News of course has its own special considerations to weigh, skillfully or unskillfully.

Forget politics, forget free speech, all that shit, since all of those points have been made. These morons act like people are somehow _required_ to go out and buy these products they’re boycotting, like it’s a crime not to.

Or they act they’re entitled to be sponsored. No, they don’t owe you shit.

> Yep. I’m sure she’ll have a new group of sponsors within the week. Or the old ones will silently creep back. Bizzy as usual.

Ace Hardware crept back, for one.
