Wouldn’t want to be Laura Ingraham right now

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

I would not want to be Laura Ingraham at this moment in time. Since the news leaked out that Ingraham was texting Mark Meadows during the January 6 insurrection, Ingraham has become the new poster child for liars. To that end, many people have taken amusement in her fall from grace — and who can blame them?

Possibly the best takedown of Ingraham came from comedian Stephen Colbert. Colbert was in his element on Tuesday night. Eyes shining with mischievous good humor, he proceeded to tear the non-host apart verbally.

“So, the January 6 attack scared Laura Ingraham,” Colbert said solemnly. “And keep in mind, her side gig is appearing in your bathroom mirror if you whisper “Medicare for All three times.”

Ouch! There is more. Referring to the terrorists, Colbert said, “They weren’t his supporters. That’s why, to get them to stop, Laura sent all those panicked texts to the man responsible, President Bob Antifa.”

Double ouch. But it was not just Colbert. Trevor Noah of “The Daily Show” didn’t miss out on the fun either. Referring to all the Fox hosts, Noah said: “This is like finding out the flight attendant who’s been telling you it’s just a little turbulence is actually going back into the cockpit like, “Doesn’t anybody know how to fly this thing?”

I’d expect much more of this in the weeks and months to come. And I would also imagine that Fox must hate seeing their non-news network reduced to a late-night joke. That’s just too bad. They asked for it. Now, they’re getting it, and it could not happen to a more evil bunch of people.
