Fox News Backs Laura Ingraham as Advertisers Bolt

Fox News co-president Jack Abernethy issued a statement on Monday backing primetime host Laura Ingraham, as her many of her show’s advertisers bolted after the conservative firebrand attacked David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland school shooting. “We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts,” Abernathy said in the statement to the Los Angeles Times. “We look forward to having Laura Ingraham back hosting her program next Monday when she returns from spring vacation with her children.” Ingraham has apologized for attacking Hogg on Twitter, but that was after Hogg responded to the taunt by encouraging her advertisers to cut ties with the show.
