Theres been a seemingly endless line of people showing up at Trump Tower for meetings with the President Elect, providing the press pool with fodder for non-stop speculation. One of the more flamboyant figures on the guest list was Laura Ingraham, who took her turn yesterday. When word of her scheduled appearance first broke, our colleague Jim Jamitis at RedState (no fan of Trumps to be sure) noted that she had been an early supporter of Trumps so this probably wasnt much of a surprise.
The most likely bet among the prognosticating class is that Ingraham is being considered for a job as Press Secretary. As Jim reports, Laura had previously said she would consider the post, but would prefer to be helping make policy rather than just broadcasting it. Still, if there are no other seats open at the table, would she really want to replace Josh Earnest? Now that the prospect is becoming more real, some in the media seem to be hitting the panic button. (Politico, emphasis added)
If Ingraham would be more interested in policy than previous White House press secretaries, she would also be less interested in the press.
She believes that most mainstream news organizations are part of a bipartisan liberal establishment that is institutionally biased against Trump and right-wing populist movements. Throughout the campaign, she relentlessly criticized the establishment media and Republican establishment for its opposition to Trump

Something to look forward to...
Every time he comes out or goes in he can have an instantaneous press conference.
As long as he picks someone who is not afraid to counter and not tolerate the Democrat party narrative, I’m happy.
I think Trump should not appoint a Press Sec. Instead, just put out a daily news update each morning on the web, and have Drudge and Free Republic spread the news. PUT THE ELITIST MEDIA OUT OF BUSINESS!
I would think that White House Press Secretary would be beneath Laura at this point in her career.
This would be hilarious. Laura’s one of the best. That would be must see.
She would have to end her FOX News Contributorship + her radio gig which is a huge $$$$ maker for her
A woman for Press Secretary!! Femnazis should be Thrilled!!
Personally I prefer Monica Crowley, but Laura’s good too.
Monica Crowley has also been discussed as a possible press secretary. I think she and Laura are both good. I believe that Trump’s current communications director, Miller, is also being considered.
If Laura wants to help make policy, perhaps she could be General Counsel in one of the Departments (she is an attorney).
I think it would be a hoot if Diamond and Silver did the pressers one day a week.
I would prefer Ann Coulter!! =P
While you’re correct it would ould be a big financial hit short term, she might do it to “help the cause”. I’d say in the long run she’d come out ahead. We’re going to need someone who can stand up to these bastards.
The days of formal White House press briefings are over and the MSM knows it. They are panicking because they will no longer be gatekeepers of info.
The Trump White House press briefer will be taking questions from social media and local TV reporters while the dishonest White House reporters sit in their seats and stew. LMAO.
