Laura Ingraham: "We are going to lose every f--King station we have"



LISTEN: Radio host Laura Ingraham melts down on open mic: ‘We’re gonna lose every f*cking station we have’

Laura Ingraham speaks to Fox News (screen grab)
Radio host Laura Ingraham treated her listeners to some of her unfiltered opinions on Friday’s program, blurting out “We’re gonna lose every f*cking station we have,” when technical difficulties sprang up.

Unfortunately for her, her microphone was on.


“What’s going on? What do I do guys? I can’t hear anything,” Ingraham can be heard saying. “What do I do? Drew can you hear something in yours? No, right?”

“Are you on “Best of?” Are you on “Best of?” she kept asking her engineers. “We have dead air?”

“We’ve got to put a “Best of” on, Drew,” she tells her producer as the bumper song “Proud Mary” begins playing. “We’re gonna lose every f*cking station we have. This is unbelievable.”

take it in stride and get to work fixing the problem, letting no listener or in other situations customers know there is a problem. I've seen too many situations where the people in charge can't handle it. If you want respect, you rate respect and that's not the way to do it.

I hated to see Olbermann at his Current gig be a dick over technical difficulties. I saw it a couple times. He had the talent to bluff his way through it and save anyone from looking bad. He just had to show his obvious displeasure at the screw-ups. Now in a situation where you aren't operating in the environment you had become accustomed to, partly because you sucked up a shit ton of money that could otherwise have went to more experienced engineers and a nicer set, I'd say you should give everyone else a little break. Keith is a great one and I'd love to have him back anyway, but he needs to work on that too.

There was a DU post a few years back where she was caught telling her producers to "find out everything you can" about one of her call in guests, then saying, "I'm going to destroy her."
She is one of the most mean-spirited people I have ever heard on radio or television. And she is far more clever than Ann Coulter.

A few years ago, she said " I don't believe half the things I say on the radio"

she wolf... love it, though not likely she will be fired. Hell, Rush Limabaugh could go into potty mouth mode on the air, and he might lose a sliver of respectability, but fired?? No way. He and Lara are their cash cows, so is Michael Savage and a few others.

Right-wing harridan of hate "Dr." Laura is indeed a far more dangerous threat to this democratic republic than the Coulter-beast (as someone else on this thread observed).

Let us hope these two (and others of their rigid-thinking, dogmatic autocratic ilk) soon find themselves a shunned and marginalized minority in a rising sea of leftist fury expressing solidarity with the 99%.
