Laura Ingraham will return to her show on Fox News on Monday night, unbowed after a spring break hiatus that some briefly speculated might be made permanent. Once there, Ingraham, one of the cable news giants sharpest tongues and biggest stars, will confront a continued advertiser boycott and simmering controversy that has plagued her since she mocked one of the teenage survivors of the Parkland, Fla., shooting in a scathing tweet.
In other words, the new normal at Fox News.
For all the drama surrounding her, Ingraham is being welcomed back with the full support of Rupert Murdoch, who personally urged Jack Abernethy, Fox Newss co-president, to stand behind her. The executive chairman of 21st Century Fox, busy entertaining the Saudi crown prince and recovering from a back injury at his estate in the Bel Air area of Los Angeles, hadnt reached out to Ingraham directly at publication time, but Murdoch has put out word to his people that caving to politically tinged boycotts would be a dangerous thing.
Its a position he has had ample opportunity to consider: One of his other marquee stars, Sean Hannity, was subjected to three advertising defections in 2017. The expectation, inside and outside of Fox, is that more are likely to follow.

(70,700 posts)She supposedly "converted" to Catholicism in the late '90s when there was a fad among wingnut Spooks & FBI & Robert NOVAKula to do it (Opus Dei?). So she did it, and was quiet for a year or two, and when she surfaced I was peering/scanning her face and voice to detect any sign of "Christian spirituality". She was toned down for the couple of years, but all too soon she let rip her characteristic BILE. When I saw the ad (below) I Googled "The Little Sisters of the Poor" and called/talked to a Mother Superior and asked whether a convert shouldn't be expected to show some sign of Christ-like/spirituality, plus what about her donations? The lady said she had never heard of her and knew of no donations from her but would check it out.

(22,037 posts)Laura Ingraham is a RWNJ. Case closed.
She slightly crossed the Fox REDLINE.
So what?
She goes away for a week. When she comes back, they'll soft-pedal her stories for a couple of weeks,
Then she'll be back in full force.
UNLESS...
Our side keeps up the fight.
