Editor’s Note: This story and headline is a follow up to the story we Broke 12 hrs earlier — after midnight — which asked “Did FOX News Suspend Laura Ingraham?” This story and reference to “It’s Official” confirmed she is stepping down and being replaced by a guest line up for (at least) a week, as the story by Miami Herald reads in the first sentence. Some people felt the headline was inaccurate. Thank you.
The war of words between Fox News talk show host Laura Ingraham and Parkland survivor David Hogg has taken one combatant out of the ring — albeit for what initially appears to be just one week.
Amid backlash after publicly ridiculing 17-year-old Marjory Stoneman Douglas senior Hogg on his college rejections, Ingraham announced Friday that she was stepping down from her TV show for a week following Easter.
A dozen advertisers already pulled ads from “The Ingraham Angle” this week after she made fun of the student activist. Among them: Liberty Mutual Insurance, Office Depot, Nestle, Joseph A. Banks, Expedia, Hulu, Johnson & Johnson, Nutrish pet foods, TripAdvisor, Wayfair, Jenny Craig and the Atlantis Paradise Island resort, USA Today reports.
She announced Friday a previously unannounced hiatus from the news network.
But will she be back?
This actually sounds like the “new” FOX since Roger Ailes’ death.
The old FOX — the network with a spine — died when he died.
