Total arrogance of Laura Ingraham.

Laura took a mean shot at a survivor of a horrific experience. In public for all to see. She thought that she could get away with it because she was "Laura Ingraham of Fox News"....so instead of apologizing directly and instantly in a kind and regretful way...Like, "I am sorry and I was wrong for what I said, please forgive me..." Instead of that...which might have worked...

She snarked it up, It was a sarcastic mean statement...But also, she mocked him. .."In the interest of the holy week...."..or whatever, and most important of all....."she thought she could get away with it" Her arrogance and attitude that basically says, "I am from Fox News, and I can say what I want" has destroyed her. It is a reflection of Trump and that whole attitude of "I am invincible."

Her advertisers know you don't talk that way, but she did not know. Her arrogance blinded her.
Perhaps she has learned something. Perhaps. Maybe others have learned. Maybe, but I sincerely doubt it.

She is blind to her mistake. She is blind to her attitude that of total superiority to others. Others who have said mean things, have apologized honestly. And not sarcastic crap. But, is too late now.

... to pile on and hate liberal adversaries.

They shove and push and elbow each other to get in the front of the pack. The one who is most repulsive, most offensive, and most disgusting becomes the alpha Fascist Nazi for the day and is treated as royalty for the time being until the next obnoxious Fascist idiot comes along and dethrones them. There is a never ending parade of these Nazi fools since tRdump stepped into the forefront and captured the Rethug party with his nasty base in tow.

If you insult someone on the air, you need to apologize that way, too. In the same manner that you delivered the insult, you should deliver the apology.

the woman has zero clue regarding the actual HORROR of a mass shooting - she is trashing kids who saw or heard classmates being SLAUGHTERED - she is sick, and very much represents the utter slime conservatives have become

If she had done that on her hate show and the audience was her usual folks that valued 55 to dead demographic she would have been ok. However she went on the kids turf. No body is going to out do them on social media. I would bet they can raise 5 million folks on social media in 24 hours. If the wingers don't stay in their own lanes they are gonna have tracks all over their bodies.
