About Fox News host "Laura Ingraham"...making fun of people with virus, I think she will be fired.

..This happened Wednesday, yesterday. I watched parts of that and yes, she was making fun of people reporting their experiences. What Ingraham was implying was it was some kind of trick to show the world that CNN knows all about this disease. Nevertheless, Ingraham was making fun of people with the virus.

..Ingraham has stepped over a line in an attempt to make fun of opposition news network. I think she will be fired even when she apologizes. (and she will apologize)

making fun of CNN people is disgusting.
Even Fox News doesn't need that as part of its so called, "reputation".

We will see, and I have been wrong before, and yes I will be wrong again...

an "unplanned sudden" vacation. Probably paid, for a couple weeks until people forget due to whatever the next outrage will be.

Even if she did leave, she'd just start up at OAN where she'd be free to be nastier than ever.

It could happen (BillO was immune until cost them too much money, so very suddenly he wasn't), but it would indicate a sea change at FOX, from bonkers to merely addled.

So unless Laura Ingraham is found in a compromising position with a minor or worse, develops a social conscience, she’ll probably stay employed.

"Doctor" Laura lectured the cult last week about the mortality numbers related to COViD19.

She said that since the estimates about the death toll had changed several times, that was proof that we can't listen to experts.

How the hell did she get a PhD in physiology without understanding statistics?

I didn't listen all the way to the end, OD'd, since they go on sneering and smearing for about 5 minutes, with a pretense by her at decency at one point. But she doesn't stick it, of course.

Her viciousness has always been one of her main draws. Unless she starts losing boatloads of money for the network, they'll keep her to retain the audience that would just switch to OANN because FOX is now too soft for their tastes.
