How an ill-advised tweet became a nightmare for a Fox News show
By Melody HahmSenior Writer -- Yahoo News

A little over a month ago, David Hogg was like any other high school senior anxiously awaiting college acceptance letters. Then, on Feb. 14, he witnessed the deaths of 17 of his classmates at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Since then, he has graced the cover of Time Magazine, organized a march attended by hundreds of thousands of individuals demanding gun reform and gained a massive following of 667,000 on Twitter.

Despite becoming a household name pretty much overnight, Hogg is still a 17-year-old who plans to attend college. According to an interview with TMZ on Tuesday, Hogg received rejection letters from the four University of California campuses where he submitted applications —UCLA, UCSD, UCSB and UC Irvine. He has a 4.2 GPA and an SAT score of 1270.

The following day, Laura Ingraham, host of Fox News’ evening program, “The Ingraham Angle,” retweeted a piece from the conservative news site, The Daily Wire, adding her own commentary — “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.)”

Laura Ingraham, host of Fox News’ evening program, has been put in check by David Hogg who was like any other high school senior anxiously awaiting college acceptance letters.

Steve Williams Saturday, March 31st 2018 at 3:42PM

I thought Boss Hogg was a man.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, March 31st 2018 at 4:34PM

So Steve, after viewing this report, what have he learned?

Steve Williams Saturday, March 31st 2018 at 5:39PM

I learned that for now I don't have to suffer through those idiotic advertisements when I watch the Ingraham Angle.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, March 31st 2018 at 9:21PM

What happens if you can't see Ingraham Angle no more?



Steve Williams Saturday, March 31st 2018 at 10:47PM

Nothing happens if I can't watch Ingraham. I'll watch whoever they put on instead or I'll watch Lawrence on the first run instead of the second.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 12:15AM

Ingraham Angle should have known better, here's what I saw: The following day, Laura Ingraham, host of Fox News’ evening program, “The Ingraham Angle,” retweeted a piece from the conservative news site, The Daily Wire, adding her own commentary — “Laura IngrahamRejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA… totally predictable given acceptance rates.)”

Now that tweet sparked I think is maybe up tp 16 advertiser's to drop Laura Ingraham show on FOX news, like a rock.

Laura Ingraham is using his powers to effect change.

Steve Williams Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 12:36AM

I have a MUCH lower opinion of Hogg than does Ingraham. Nothing she might say about him would ever offend me. If Hogg wants to be a big boy he needs to put on his big boy pants and quit pissing and moaning.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 12:55AM

Now got to admit that tweet sparked, I think is maybe up tp 16 advertiser's to drop Laura Ingraham show on FOX news, like a rock, that did happen, didn't it Steve?

Steve Williams Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 8:36AM

That's right Ron, and none of it has ANYTHING to do with 17 victims.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 9:03AM

NO! Steve, the 16 advertiser's that drop Laura Ingraham show on FOX news, like a rock, was all because of the insensibility of Laura Ingraham and the sad part about that was, she never seen it coming.

Steve Williams Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 9:11AM

AND NONE OF THAT HAS A DAMN THING TO DO WITH SEVENTEEN MURDERED STUDENTS.

Steve Williams Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 10:24AM

3421 David Hogg helped spearhead a movement in the wake of the Parkland massacre that has resonated around the world, and you'd think colleges around the country would be clamoring to snag him, but sadly that's not the case.

David has been rejected by the 4 University of California campuses where he submitted applications -- UCLA, UCSD, UCSB and UC Irvine. He says the rejection letters came 2 weeks ago. He has a 4.2 GPA and an SAT score of 1270.

Schools claim extracurricular activities count, but if organizing the March For Our Lives wasn't enough ... it's not clear what is. David is clearly disappointed.

David got accepted at Cal Poly, Cal State San Marcos and Florida Atlantic University, but he's not sure what he'll do after graduating.

And David says fellow leader Ryan Deitsch also got rejected from the University of California system. He says Emma Gonzalez will be going to the liberal arts school, New College of Florida.

We're thinking some of these admission committees are dropping the ball.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 12:28PM

Ask yourself why David Hogg's 4.2 GPA and an SAT score of 1270, national news in the first place?

WHY???

Steve Williams Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 2:01PM

There's no reason his 4.2 GPA and 1270 SAT score SHOULD be in the news Ron. None of that has a DAMN thing to do with SEVENTEEN MURDERED STUDENTS.

Steve Williams Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 2:04PM

Students and heroic TEACHERS.

Steve Williams Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 2:07PM

David Hogg is nothing but an ambitious, ego-centered, media-centered, puppet POLITICIAN.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 2:37PM

Your reply Steve: There's no reason his 4.2 GPA and 1270 SAT score SHOULD be in the news Ron.

Then ask yourself, why did FOX talk show host Laura Ingraham retweet such "Detestation?"

Steve, what is wrong with being ambitious and ego-centered?

Steve Williams Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 3:50PM

To your first question Ron, you'd have to ask Laura.

Steve Williams Sunday, April 1st 2018 at 3:55PM

Ambitious and ego-centered comes with youth. The question is why do you Ron, an old "black man" have such reverence for a "white privileged" kid?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 12:49PM

Right is right and wrong is wrong Steve, can't you see that? You act like is was OK, for a grown adult Laura Ingraham, host of Fox News’ evening program, to retweet this child's 4.2 GPA and 1270 SAT score. David Hogg is still a minor.

Now that's what I call "WRONG" for any adult to do to a child who is practicing his right to a peaceful assembly under the Constitution of The United States of America.

You just can't right THE WRONG Laura Ingraham, has done to the child.

Steve Williams Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 1:17PM

Laura Ingraham is exercising her First Amendment rights. There was nothing wrong about her characterization of David Hogg as a whiner.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 2:37PM



If that was the case, they why is The Laura Ingraham Show on FOX news, losing Millions of dollars in advertising revenue from about 16 companies that use to pay for The Laura Ingraham Show on FOX news?

I heard roomer that Laura Ingraham is now on a unplanned vacation and not on FOX NEWS anywhere for retweeting that child's GPA and SAT scores to the public.

Right is right and wrong is wrong Steve, can't you see that?

Steve Williams Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 3:20PM

There's nothing wrong or right in it Ron. MSNBC is getting its ass whooped by Fox that's all.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 6:04PM

You got to be blind as a bat or think that it is just great for a grown adult Laura Ingraham Show on FOX news, to do what she did to that child David Hogg.

You say, there's nothing wrong or right in it Ron. it could have been your son that Laura Ingraham put his business out in the public, like that and I sure that you would not find anything wrong with that neither, RIGHT?

Steve Williams Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 7:04PM

David Hogg is an adult who put his own business out in the public. That makes him fair game, something he had to the hard way.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 7:49PM

Where did you get that bit of information from? Because your reply is not from the blog material, now is it?

Steve Williams Monday, April 2nd 2018 at 8:25PM

It is from you blog material Ron. Read you article again and look for the link to the Hogg interview.
