Ingraham created a segment after the David Hogg Controversy named Defending the First, showing the left's attack on the first amendment and highlighting voices silenced.
Debut
In September 2017, Fox News announced the Ingraham Angle as the newest show in their primetime lineup and following The Sean Hannity Show at a new time of 9 PM ET/6 PM PT starting on October 30, 2017.[3] The addition of the Ingraham Angle was the network's fourth schedule change in 2017.[4] Before the show's debut, news anchors took over the 10 PM ET/7 PM PT time slot under the branding Fox News Tonight[5][6] Prior to hosting the Ingraham Angle, Laura Ingraham had been a guest host, guest panelist, and commentator on various Fox News prime-time programs including The O'Reilly Factor, Hannity and Tucker Carlson Tonight. She has hosted her weekday radio show since 2001.[7]
The Ingraham Angle's debut program guest was White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly. The show garnered 3.3 million total viewers with 622,000 viewers falling into the age group 25–54 years old. Other similar network programs in the same time slot on MSNBC and CNN had a million and two million viewers less, respectively, with Ingraham's show coming in first place of the three top cable news networks.[8]
Other guests on The Ingraham Angle have included Univision's Jorge Ramos,[9] former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer,[10] attorney and former Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz,[11] former Hillary Clinton State Department advisor and Deputy Secretary of State for Strategic Communications Philippe Reines.[12]
Controversies
LeBron James
In February 2018, Ingraham was criticized after she publicly said that basketball star LeBron James should not talk about politics and that he should "shut up and dribble."[13] Professional athletes complained about Ingraham's comment,[14] which was in response to Lebron's statement that President Donald Trump "doesn’t understand the people, and really don’t give a f--- about the people." She had been referring to her book entitled Shut Up & Sing detailing her retorts to personalities such as Jimmy Kimmel and Gregg Popovich.[15] No boycotts were attempted and no apologies were offered.[16]The item wasn't very controversial until Hogg brought this to attention.
David Hogg
On February 14, 2018, David Hogg, survived the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in which a mass shooter killed 17 people and wounded 17 more. A few days later, he and other shooting survivors founded Never Again MSD, a student group advocating for gun control. On March 28, The Daily Wire wrote an article listing the colleges which were and were not offering admission to Hogg.[17] Later that day Ingraham ridiculed Hogg, tweeting: "David Hogg Rejected By Four Colleges To Which He Applied and whines about it. (Dinged by UCLA with a 4.1 GPA...totally predictable given acceptance rates.)"[18][19][20]
Call for Boycott
Hogg responded by accusing Ingraham of cyberbullying[21] and posted a list of Ingraham's advertisers, suggesting they be contacted by his followers.[21][22][23] In response to the boycott, 27 advertisers left the show.[24][25][26][27][28][29]
The following day, Ingraham tweeted an apology.[30][31][18][32] Hogg said that Ingraham's apology had only been caused by the walkout of several advertisers.[30] He said that he would accept an apology in the future if she denounced the way her network had been treating him and his friends.[33] Hogg and his supporters continued their pressure campaign on her show's advertisers.[32]
At the end of her Friday, March 30 show, Ingraham announced she was taking a week-long absence from the show for Easter; a break that was already planned according to Ingraham and Fox News.[34][35][36] A week later, on her show, Ingraham characterized the boycott as "Stalinist" and unveiled a new segment named "Defending the First".[37]
Response from Boycott
Within a day of Ingraham's comments about Hogg, sponsors started announcing that they would no longer advertise on The Ingraham Angle.[27][28][29][26][38][25] Rates for advertising during the show dropped since the start of the boycott. Prices for a 30-second spot dropped from an average range of $12,310–$14,732 to an average range of $11,305–$13,405, according to analysts.[39] Advertising time during the show dropped by as much as 52 percent.[39][38][40] By mid-April 2018, a total of 27 sponsors stopped advertising on The Ingraham Angle.[24][28][29][41][42][43]After the controversy ended, many advertisers silently replaced their adds on Ingram's show including Ace Hardware, although this hasn't been reported.[44]
Reaction & Viewership
Fox News co-president Jack Abernethy issued a statement of support for Ingraham: "We cannot and will not allow voices to be censored by agenda-driven intimidation efforts."[45][46][43]
Following Ingraham's return to the show on April 9, AdAge reported that as of the April 11 Wednesday night episode of The Ingraham Angle, the show averaged 2.7 million viewers with 559,000 in the 25-to-54 viewer age demographic. In comparison, the show averaged 2.2 million viewers and 434,484 in the same demographic on March 29, 2018.[43] For the entire week of April 9 through 13, 2018, Mediaite reported that the show's average number of viewers was 2.69 million viewers, putting The Ingraham Angle in first place over MSNBC and CNN.[47] According to TheWrap, viewership for the week of Ingraham's return to the show were up 25% for 2018 at 3,099,000 total viewers and up 36% for the age 25 to 54 demographic with 685,000 viewers at an all time high.[48]
