Although she has been a cable news commentator for decades, Laura's time with Fox has actually been relatively brief. She started hosting The Ingraham Angle in 2017, after the election of Donald Trump. Since then, Laura has worked in tandem with the show's other primetime hosts to sometimes spread disinformation or stoke partisan divides on everything from immigration to COVID-19.

Before joining Fox, Laura worked as a commentator for MSNBC and CBS, and she also hosted a radio show earlier in her career. Her political journey began in the late 1980s, when she worked as a speechwriter in the Reagan administration for the Domestic Policy Council.

As Republican politics have evolved in recent years, Laura has tended to move right along with them, becoming more hardline and staunch right alongside the Republican base. While some liberals may celebrate the news that she might be fired or demoted at the network, it seems unlikely that Fox's designated replacements would be any more reasonable or moderate than Laura has been over the past six years.
