In March 2018 , Ingraham 's show was boycotted by 27 sponsors after she ridiculed David Hogg , a 17-year-old student survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting , for supposedly complaining about being rejected by four colleges . In response , Hogg posted a list of Ingraham 's advertisers and called for a boycott , accusing her of cyberbullying . After several advertisers left the show Ingraham apologized , which Hogg dismissed as insincere . Advertising time during the show dropped by as much as 52 percent . After Ingraham returned from a pre-planned vacation following the boycott , her program earned its best ratings ever , spiking 25 % in total viewers and saw an increase of 36 % in the key 25-54 age group demographic . As of October 2018 , blue-chip companies have continued to shun Ingraham 's show despite the increased ratings . In December 2018 , Hogg announced that he had been accepted to Harvard University
