Has Laura Ingraham been FIRED from FOX News? Here is what we know
There have been recent speculations about Laura Ingraham's status at FOX News. Some Democrats believe that Laura Ingraham has been fired from FOX News.
However, FOX News released a statement on Wednesday, dismissing these claims and affirming that Laura Ingraham remains an important host and integral part of their lineup. The network clarified that the reports circulating on social media, fueled by left-wing activists' tweets, are wildly inaccurate.
While FOX's statement aimed to refute the false claims of parting ways with Laura Ingraham, it is worth noting that the statement only mentioned that she would continue as a “part of the Fox News lineup” without specifically addressing her primetime role. In response to speculation about a primetime shuffle, the network stated that no decision has been made regarding a new primetime lineup and that they are considering multiple scenarios.
The Drudge Report initially teased significant scheduling changes at FOX News, suggesting that Sean Hannity would take over Tucker Carlson's former 8 p.m. time slot, and hosts Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld would also be moved to primetime. However, the report did not mention Laura Ingraham, who currently hosts the highly-rated show “Ingraham Angle.” The speculation about Ingraham's status seems to be based on the assumption that Hannity, Watters, and Gutfeld would occupy the prime time slots between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.
If the reported changes do occur, it would mean that Laura Ingraham would no longer be part of the prime time lineup. However, there is no indication that she would be losing her job at FOX News. It is important to note that Ingraham has consistently performed well in her 10 p.m. hour and was not prominently involved in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit that affected some other Fox hosts.
