SlimFast announced Tuesday that it is no longer advertising on Laura Ingraham's show, more than a week after companies began cutting ties with the Fox News host.

The diet shake company is the 21st to drop its ads on the show. Their announcement comes after Ingraham's first episode back from a planned vacation, during which she tore into what she called "Stalinist" efforts on behalf of liberal activists to "intimidate those who disagree with them."

"We have stopped advertising on the Laura Ingraham show and have no plans to resume in the near future," the company tweeted Tuesday. "We are also monitoring all ad placements carefully."

1. They don't like to advertise on anything

that gets too politically controversial. They once dropped Whoopi Goldberg as a spokesperson.

2. Poor Laura, learning another lesson in democracy, capitalism and economics

You're a bad person, Laura Ingraham, and we all wish you into the corn field!

4. Free market in action.

But we're "stifling her free speech".

[Mr. Ected]

5. We're actually helping Laura ACHIEVE free speech

By the time this is over, no one will be paying to hear her speak. Ergo, free speech.

You're welcome, LI.

7. Laura sitting on her millions talking about "Stalinist" attacks
