What do you think about Bill Maher denouncing David Hogg and defending Laura Ingraham?

He actually wasn't defending Laura Ingraham.

He was disagreeing with the increasing use of boycotts of sponsors as a way to try to silence constitutional (meaning "legal") speech that one might disagree with or find offensive.

Does make you wonder... and just using her show as an example:

Which would cause Hulu to lose more customers?

If they [i]didn't[/i] end their sponsorship of her show as David Hogg urged?

Or if Laura Ingraham and other conservative talk shows hosts subsequently urged people to boycott Hulu [i]because[/i] they pulled their ads?

Maybe one day we'll find out. Don't really care if it's a left or right issue.

But advertisers who start taking political sides in such a knee-jerk fashion may find it is risky business.
