Facing Down 'Intimidation Efforts,' Fox News Defends Ingraham

Facing Down 'Intimidation Efforts,' Fox News Defends Ingraham

Fox News is standing by Laura Ingraham, the host of the network's 10:00 p.m. hour, after she made some controversial comments about Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg, who has become a familiar face in the gun control movement. Despite the drama, the network "looks forward" to having her back.

"We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts," Jack Abernethy, co-president of Fox News, told the Los Angeles Times on Monday. "We look forward to having Laura Ingraham back hosting her program next Monday when she returns from spring vacation with her children."

Ingraham mocked Hogg on Twitter last week after learning he had been denied admission to a few colleges,

"David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA...totally predictable given acceptance rates.)," she wrote.

She offered an apology for her comments, but Hogg did not accept it. Nor, it seems, did several advertisers, who dropped her show. As the backlash was heating up, Ingraham lost Johnson & Johnson, Liberty Mutual, Office Depot, Expedia, Nestle and Hulu.

It appears Hogg had something to do with it.

Ingraham took this week off, letting several guests hosts fill in for her. While critics demanded Fox News fire her, it seems her job is safe.

These f*ing companies lix Fox News are like weathervanes. Blow hard enough on the and they spin around. I’m guessing Fox News is now getting blowback from its viewers that outweighs the blowback from Der Gruppen Hoggmeister.

Well that’s good news, I was thinking that FoxNews was too likely to fold on this under the Murdoch boys.

“...Hogg Hitler is a shape-shifting extraterrestrial with an evil FBI daddy as his handler....”

Naaa...just a foul-mouthed, evil little snot that needs a good, old-fashion Texas azz-whipping. Would love to see someone his age, or younger, just literally beat the living piss outta him.

She shouldn’t have apologized to that creep. If he can’t take the shi*, he shouldn’t be slinging it. Then the mean spirited little jackass didn’t accept her apology. creep.

The only time I want to see Hogg is if he is being beaten up by a little girl.
