Laura Ingraham isn’t going anywhere.
That’s the message Fox News is sending amid a left-wing boycott campaign meant to oust the conservative Fox News host over a tweet.
“We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven
intimidation efforts,” Fox News co-president Jack Abernathy said in a
statement to The Daily Caller News Foundation. “We look forward to
having Laura Ingraham back, hosting her program next Monday when she
returns from spring vacation with her children.”
Parkland high school student and gun control activist David Hogg
called for an advertiser boycott after Ingraham knocked him on Twitter
for complaining about colleges that rejected his applications. Ingraham
apologized to Hogg on March 29, but he refused to accept the peace
offering.
The liberal high school student teamed up with left-wing activist group Media Matters
to pressure Ingraham’s advertisers into boycotting her show, “Ingraham
Angle.” Over a dozen advertisers pulled their ads from her show.
Ingraham is on a pre-planned vacation this week that some liberals suggested was due to the boycott.
Abernathy’s statement, which Fox News first released to the Los Angeles Times, made clear she’s staying put at Fox News.
