We didn’t think it was possible, but Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham may have reached a new low on last night’s episode of The Ingraham Angle.
Ingraham, who hates LGBTQ people, invited regular Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo on her show, where they spent five straight minutes mocking CNN anchors who have contracted COVID-19.
CNN anchors Chris Cuomo, Brooke Baldwin, and Richard Quest have all tested positive for coronavirus, with both Cuomo and Baldwin documenting their illnesses and recoveries on their shows.
“Throughout the lockdown, CNN anchors seem to have increasingly become the story,” Ingraham said.
How about we take this to the next level?

To which, Arroyo replied, “Laura, the first rule of journalism is don’t inject yourself into the story. But there seems to be a deliberate attempt to graft a slew of CNN anchors onto this COVID crisis.”
He continued, “A number of them have contracted the virus and emoted their personal experiences. It almost appears they’ve launched a series of new reality shows. You could call this one ‘Are You Sicker Than a CNN Anchor?’”
Pls boycot #COVIDIOTS Laura Ingraham, Raymond Arroyo and the graphic designer at Fox (Fox, which is projecting its own ‘masquerading as a news network’…):

Ingraham nodded along as Arroyo went on to call Cuomo and Baldwin’s reporting on the pandemic “disturbing” and accused them of losing “all perspective.”
“To become the story is a big problem here,” he said, “and CNN really should tamp down their personal stories. It’s too much.”
“I don’t really get it,” Ingraham agreed. “Is that the news?”
Hmmm. It can be any less newsworthy than bashing news anchors from other networks. But what do we know?

Things got especially ugly when the duo started trash talking Anderson Cooper for a 10-second joke he made about cutting his own hair on a recent episode of Anderson Cooper 360°.
“I saw that. It was all about his quarantine grooming. You might call the show, ‘Vanderbilt Rules,’” Ingraham said, in a reference to Cooper’s mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, who recently died. “This is like Big Brother or something.”

That’s when Arroyo started bashing Cuomo again, saying his show should be renamed “The Real House Husbands of the Hamptons” after he spent two weeks quarantined in his basement to protect his family from getting sick.
“If this were real Laura, it would be fine, but it’s not,” Arroyo said. “This was feigned. This was a feigned recovery.”
“He was out bicycling while he pretended to be in the basement. Don’t advertise your quarantine and moralize about it with your brother every night, saying you’re going to kill people [by going out], when you’re doing it. It’s outrageous.”

PAGING THE MOST VIRULENT PAINFUL HORRIFIC EXCRUCIATING STRAIN OF COVID 19:
Your party of two is ready for you now
Kangol2
She may have gone to Dartmouth and U.Va.N but she is about as moronic as they come. This virus has killed over 47,000 in the US alone and the toll keeps rising. Covid-19 causes severe blood clotting, leading to strokes in healthy younger people, people’s lungs filling up with clots, people’s kidneys shutting down, etc. It spreads not only when people are symptomatic but asymptomatic. It is far more contagious and deadly than most known strains of influenza or even other Covid viruses. Yet this dingbat woman gets on the air and spews misinformation day in, day out. She should shut her pie hole, but also should be sued by anyone who listened to her lies and misinformation and lost a loved one as a result. In fact FoxNews should be sued for misinformation and disinformation. Weren’t they eagerly promoting hydroxychloroquine, which is also leading to death, just like their beloved master moron Don the Con Drumpf?

Would someone please start another “Stop Laura” movement and try to get Ingraham off the air? It worked with Laura Schlessinger — remember StopDrLaura.com? She was notorious for linking gay men to pedophilia, and the campaign led to cancellation of her TV show after one year. Unfortunately, she is still on Sirius/XM.

Chris Cuomo was FAKING and CNN ignored the stories which proved he violated quarantine to go on a 30 minute drive to his property in the Hamptons. He cussed out an elderly man who recognized him and asked why he wasn’t quarantined? If Queerty insists on reporting political dogma tell the f*cking truth.
jayceecook
He obviously was breaking quarantine if his wife and now his 14 year old son have tested positive. Sure they could have gotten it from another source but Occam’s Razor suggests otherwise.
Cam
Look how frantically the troll account is trying to deflect from the complete lack of empathy from the bigoted FOX Anchors.
WillParkinson
Okay, I’ll bite.
Prove he was faking it. I mean verifiable proof. Not some online whackadoodle theory.
jayceecook
@WillParkinson He admitted to the altercation on his radio while having a pretty epic meltdown. There is a police report on record of the incident. The guy tried to file it earlier but the police didn’t believe his story. Then after CC’s radio rant they called the guy up to officially take his statement and file one. I guess they took it seriously after a lot of what CC said on his show matched the story the guy involved in the altercation told the officers. You’re free to go to New York and request a copy of the report. Also, I’m sure the audio from CC’s radio show is online in multiple places. Other non-Faux News sites have reported on it which you can independently verify for yourself. My understanding is the guy isn’t going to try to press charges against CC he just wanted to have it on file to “expose” him. Which is stupid AF. Both are pretty much attention seeking at this point. Actually they all are.
Cam
@jayceecook
If all of these other sources have verified it, then it’s interesting you can’t post any proof.
jayceecook
What proof do you want me to leave? I can’t post links. I can’t post audio files. What counts as “proof” to you? I mean hit up some of the progressive and Indy channels on YT. The Young Turks defend CC and his candid remarks yet fail to address that CC admits HE BROKE QUARANTINE and was confronted by the cyclist. They even excuse his lashing out. The Rational National has a lot of the audio from said radio rant. Listen for yourself. Deadline has an article about CC back peddling some of his remarks he made about hating his job at CNN from that very interview where he admits to the confrontation. There’s some of the audio there. Deadline is an entertainment website not a political one in case you want 100% unbiased reporting. Which is actually impossible by the way.
If you are unwilling to verify for yourself what I’m saying then you are not interested in the “proof”. What you’re interested in is arguing and making yourself feel superior to others.
Where is YOUR proof? How do you explain his wife getting the virus shortly after he “allegedly” broke quarantine? How about his 14 year old son? If they are all practicing self isolation and he was in that basement 100% of the time then where did they contract COVID-19? If he wasn’t out on Easter Sunday with his family why did he admit to the confrontation that took place that day? Why would he say “I don’t want some jackass, loser, fat tire biker being able to pull over and get in my space and talk bullsh*t to me. I don’t want to hear it” if it never happened? Again, check out some of the sources I mentioned. Look for others. I’m sorry you weren’t properly educated on how to conduct basic researching. Step off your high horse and inform yourself. I’ll never understand why you think people *must* agree 100% with everybody who is a part of the same community, ideology, political party, etc as you.
Cam
@jayceecook
All those words to deflect from the fact that you can’t name a single source for your story. And as for posting links, you could put spaces in there.
But it’s easy to spot trolling, when they tell a lie and then say something like “Go do your research”. Sweetie, it isn’t our job to find evidence for YOUR stories, it’s YOUR job to prove them.
Nice try.
jayceecook
@Cam You’re such a nasty little jack@ass aren’t you. I literally gave you places to check to back up my claim yet I’m “trolling”. Why is everyone a troll to you? You are not James Lake Jr. and this isn’t Arcadia sh!tstain. But since you continue you act like a baby tossing their toys out of the pram I’ll give you back your binky.
I do not endorse any of these people, channels, or sites. These are merely some examples I found while researching. It doesn’t matter anyway since you’ll never actually read or watch them and use actual critical thinking skills to inform an opinion. That is something you’ve already done.

@Cam Where’s your clap back sweetie pie? Usually you’re right on the heels of people’s posts. It’s been a couple hours and you’re still silent. I’m starting to get worried. Should I pretend to call the police for a wellness check?
Cam
@jayceecook
Oh, I’m sorry precious, when you said you had proof I assumed it was legitimate media proof. But again, doesn’t seem like you can find that. By all means, keep posting links to right wing conspiracy sites.
jayceecook
@Cam LOL Who knew The Young Turks were right wing conspiracy sites?! Or Deadline?! Or like most of the sources I listed?! Granted The NY Post is Murdoch’s mouthpiece but if what they are reporting is in sync with what non conservative sites are reporting than to ignore it nothing but failure to remain objective.
But clearly being objective is a concept your tiny pea brain can’t process. It’s fine. The moral high ground you believe you stand upon is built on nothing but delusion and narcissism.
jayceecook
It’s beyond laughable that Faux News which is essentially a reality show itself and supported by a reality show charlatan would mock another network as being nothing but fake and agenda driven. Even irony is like, “Really b!t¢h?”
Creamsicle
You know what? I’d be fine with Fox News telling their viewers to kill themselves. Too bad they’ll be infecting other people in the process.
Go ahead and kill your viewers, Ingraham. I’m sure it’ll be real easy for a woman at fox in her 60s to draw new viewers and upper management will give you plenty of time to get your numbers back up. They’ll also definitely keep you on air while the company is being sued for spreading misinformation about covid-19 being harmless while they were simultaneously advising their staff to physically distance as much as possible. That’s why Drunk Jeanine is filming from home, after all.
Chrisk
No wonder laura Ingrahams brother calls her a monster. Wise man.
jayceecook
Well he is “family”. I do applaud his work to expose her. Sadly she has the network behind he so task is going to be daunting.
Mister P
She is one whacky chick.
Cam
The reason the FOX anchors didn’t get Covid 19, is because at the same time they’re telling their audience everything is safe, the virus is a hoax, go outside, ignore stay at home order, etc… THEY’RE sheltering inside and FOX Management is sending out memos shutting down the office to keep them all safe.
So they’re knowingly pushing out harmful information they know is false. The lawsuits are going to be epic.
wancell
Criticizing Laura Ingham is certainly easy to do but be honest about it.
She and many others have called out Chris Cuomo for his fake emergence from quarantine that CNN played up when he had already broke quarantine already in a very publicized incident. That was the fake part she referenced not be did not have Covid.
I also agree with the sentiment that journalists should not make themselves the story no matter the network they are on and the sniping at each other just diminishes all involved and petty.
Cam
Sweetie, if you’re going to try to troll to deflect from FOX News Anchors mocking Corona virus victims, you may want to try a different tactic than your other screename used.
As for reporters making themselves the story, then you must be completely outraged at how all the FOX News anchors always tells us about their familes, going to church, their Christmas celebrations, and how Steve Doocy would push his son as a reporter etc…
Funny you don’t mind that.
Invader7
How many of you really,truly deep down wish that right wing NeoNAZI FASCISTS like this CRUNT Laura Ingraham , Drumpf, Pence and MacConnell all got the Corona virus and DIED ??? Come on be HONEST. There are a LOT of Americans who wish the above named pigs did get Corona and DIED but won’t admit it !!!
