Laura Ingraham will return to Fox News Channel, despite a spate of recent defections by advertisers from the program she hosts there each weeknight.
We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts, said Jack Abernethy, co-president of the 21st Century Fox-owned cable outlet, in a statement. We look forward to having Laura Ingraham back hosting her program next Monday when she returns from spring vacation with her children.
The note is unusual for a corporate executive to issue on behalf of a program host, but the situation swirling around Ingraham is anything but normal. She announced Friday on her 10 p.m. program, The Ingraham Angle, that she would take a planned vacation even as scrutiny of her program intensified and more sponsors announced they were moving their ads out of the show.

Fuck this piece of garbage Ingraham and fuck Jack sideways too.

Evil scum like Laura Ingraham should not be allowed within 100 yards of children.
