Editor's NotePolitics and travel continue to trip over each other, as one of our stories illustrates today. TripAdvisor — a company whose CEO isn't shy about taking on hot-button issues — pulled its ads from the Fox News show hosted by Laura Ingraham after she ridiculed one of the Parkland shooting survivors pushing for gun control measures. Expedia followed suit, albeit with less commentary about "the line of decency" that had been crossed. In an increasingly polarized world — see last month's debate over NRA discounts — brands are facing greater pressure from outraged consumers. How will this change their advertising strategies? And when will cable news hosts realize it's bad business to make fun of shooting survivors? — Hannah Sampson, News Editor |
