Fox News Says Laura Ingraham Will Return

Laura Ingraham will return to Fox News Channel, despite a spate of recent defections by advertisers from the program she hosts there each weeknight.

“We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts,” said Jack Abernethy, co-president of the 21st Century Fox-owned cable outlet, in a statement. “We look forward to having Laura Ingraham back hosting her program next Monday when she returns from spring vacation with her children.”

The note is unusual for a corporate executive to issue on behalf of a program host, but the situation swirling around Ingraham is anything but normal. She announced Friday on her 10 p.m. program, “The Ingraham Angle,” that she would take a planned vacation even as scrutiny of her program intensified and more sponsors announced they were moving their ads out of the show.

The sponsors are right not to defend such language and attitudes.

... bullies feel they can do whatever they want and God forbid you fight back. The moment they get knocked on their asses they start howling about how unfair it is that they're being picked on.

Fuck this piece of garbage Ingraham and fuck Jack sideways too.

12. Imagine What Laura Ingraham Is Teaching Her Children - How To Hate Attack And Loathe Others

I bet she spent a week at the Church of Satan learning how to better attack children who simply don't want to be shot at any more.

Evil scum like Laura Ingraham should not be allowed within 100 yards of children.

...returns from Spring vacay with her CHILDREN. Who cares who she was with? Would they say that about a man? Is that supposed to soften her image?
