Radio´s Laura Ingraham off the air
Associated Press, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 11/27/2012 12:36:17 PM

NEW YORK- Radio talk show host Laura Ingraham is off the air - at least temporarily. She said Tuesday that she´s leaving her distributor, Talk Radio Network, after more than nine years because her contract is up. Ingraham said she is in discussions with other distributors about her show, which currently airs on 325 stations nationally. Talkers magazine says the conservative Ingraham is the most-listened to woman on radio, with an estimated 5.75 million listeners a week. Talkers said that ranks her among the top eight radio hosts overall.

She´s been off the air here since November 1 when her station went 24/7 Christmas music. There are almost no talk radio stations left in Louisville. I would get paranoid, but they´re after me.

I love Laura. She was on a station here in the KC area at 9 am then recently not. Maybe that is one reason she is fishing.

Would it ´play´ in the background like Limbaugh´s show?

I was a loyal listener for years but I stopped listening about a year ago when I finally could not endure her saying – “You’re listening to the Laura Ingraham Show.” – every fourteen seconds. Okay, I exaggerate. But, roughly seven or eight times per hour was not at all unusual. If she were to omit that annoying, repetitive, unnecessary (Duh! I KNOW what I’m listening to!) verbal crutch-like tic, I’d probably reinstate my audience membership.

Laura, in the words of your pal, TV Factor Boy, “Wise up!”

Michael Savage was also with Talk Radio Network, fought a long legal battle and got out with something near a million dollars in damages, plus his back tapes.

Agree with a few others here in that while Laura Ingraham´s content is acceptable, I find her tone and delivery annoying and thus do not listen.

I listen on the internet. So I look up the list and pick a few near by (mas o meno).
I thought it would be great if CBS would hire her for the Evening news. Let her be editor too.
And romney should have cleaned house and made her his director. Should have paid her what she wanted. He can afford it and he´d be moving into the WH.
But I wish that she would stop saying that this person or that is a great person when they are really horrible. Sheneeds to move out of the area to get some perspective...

Ms. Laura should, like Sean Hannity, have her show broadcasted on both radio and television. She is that good!.......Here´s a suggestion Roger: (A) Reassign the Levittown, Long Island Leprechaun to a different time slot and (B) Give the the brilliant attractive Ms. Ingraham the prime time hours of 8-9 PM EST.

Fox News should start its own version of ´´The View,´´ featuring Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Condi Rice, and Sarah Palin sitting around a table discussing the news of the day.

Each one of those women has more humor, intelligence, good looks, and charisma than the entire Fox network team of anchors combined.

How long will mediocrity continue to reign supreme at Fox News?

Go Beck! - Laura, go somewhere you can speak the untrammeled truth, Fox is dying from sameness of analysts,round tablers, and liberal over saturation - Lou Dobbs and Greta are still worth watching-they at least allow the courtesy of letting their guests speak more than one sentence without bozo type interruptions.

Did her contract really end or did she get dumped by the network? I´ve found her hard to listen to for months. She´s shrill and harsh and her constant dumping on Romney was enfuriating. Her constant whining about Romney refusing to come on her show got me hooting with laughter. Why should he when all she did was criticize everything he did?

Obama faces choice on

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it

Projecting madly, the White House on Sunday pushed the notion that Republican intransigence is the reason that Democrats have been unable to pass a budget during President Obama’s tenure. “Right now,” said senior White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer on Fox News Sunday, “the approach of many Republicans, particularly the leadership in the House, is my way or the highway.” This is certainly rich coming from an administration that has failed to garner a single “yes” vote on its budget proposals for the past several years, even from members of its own party.

WASHINGTON — President Obama went out for a round of golf Saturday afternoon, his second weekend in a row to hit the links at a course at Joint Base Andrews. The president golfed with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush. Last Saturday, the president played golf at the same course with Nicholson, Brush, and friend and Chicago businessman Marty Nesbitt. The outing marked his first time on the golf course since the sequester cuts went into place on March 1. The president also took in the Syracuse-Marquette NCAA tournament basketball game

No doubt there are parents who have frank, frequent, open and easy discussions with their teens about sex. I’ve never met any. I do know parents, however, who were stunned to find their 15-year-old’s birth control pills in her pocketbook. Or who came home early to discover junior and a girl they’d never met frantically buttoning up. Or who found out — when their children were grown — what really went on when Meghan said she was sleeping over at Ashley’s. Such sobering tales of teens snookering mom and dad caused mixed emotions in me — a solidly pro-choice

Last fall, Ginnette Powell traveled from her home in Boston´s Dorchester section to her old middle school in South Boston - a journey of just two miles, but one that covered a huge emotional distance. Finally, she was able to leave the painful past behind. Powell endured the explosive battle over desegregation in Boston in the 1970s. Tears come to her eyes when she talks about how it took her decades to return to the place where she never felt safe as an African-American seventh-grader."It was scary because of what you were going into, getting bricks thrown at your bus.

A few years after the assassination of President John F.

Is that? Is that?’” Adams recalled during an oral history interview. She knew, of course, what “that” meant. “That” was where Kennedy had been shot.

They’re big. They’re ugly. They’re noisy. And they’re coming. So get ready. The blockbuster brood of the periodical cicada, large insects that emerge en masse from the ground in 17-year intervals across the northeast, is on its way — and New York City’s largest public radio station is encouraging residents in Central Jersey and beyond to help track the invasion. “The whole idea came from our news director, Jim (Schachter, of Summit), who lives in New Jersey — he promised his wife that they would move from their home before the 17-year cicadas came back,”

"She was everything a foreign service officer should be: smart, capable, eager to serve, and deeply committed to our country and the difference she was making for the Afghan people," Kerry said of the slain official.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
