Laura Ingraham's Latest Media Attack Gets Thrown Right Back At Her
HuffPost
The Fox News host's on-air claim doesn't quite go as expected.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham was mocked on Thursday for an attack on a rival network that may have said more about herself than she intended.
Ingraham ripped NBC News for firing Ronna McDaniel after just days on the job as a paid on-air contributor.
“The network where I actually started my TV career wouldn’t ever hire anyone like me now,” said Ingraham, who was on MSNBC years ago. McDaniel, she said, somehow “slipped through,” until a staff revolt caused the network to let her go.
“The inmates took over the asylum,” Ingraham said, claiming that the network fired McDaniel only because she supports Donald Trump and didn’t denounce him on Jan. 6.
“Believe no other explanation they provide about why they got rid of her,” she insisted.
