NEW YORK -- Fox News Channel host Laura Ingraham is expected back at work on Monday following a backlash by advertisers upset over her tweet mocking a Parkland, Florida, school shooting survivor. Her one-week vacation served as a cooling-off period. The number of companies saying they would not advertise on her show, at 19, according to a count by Media Matters for America, slowed to a trickle while she was away. Ingraham also picked up a strong statement of support from her boss and backing from an unexpected source in liberal talk show host Bill Maher late on Friday. Ingraham has apologized for a tweet in which she said 17-year-old high school student David Hogg whined about being rejected by some colleges. Hogg has said it's "time to love thy neighbor, not mudsling at children." Their spat became a symbol of a debate over how minors active in national gun safety talks should be treated by political opponents. Another student, Emma Gonzalez, was falsely depicted in a doctored … [Read more...] about Laura Ingraham due back at Fox News following backlash

Michael Strahan to host Fox’s ‘Thursday Night Football’ pregame show live from NYC: report
Former Giant Michael Strahan is in line to host a “Thursday Night Football” pregame show on FOX, which will air live from New York City, according to SI.com. Strahan, the Super Bowl-winning "Good Morning America" co-host, will reportedly host the show alongside Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw. The Thursday pregame show is indicative of the juice FOX wants to bring to mid-week games after forking over a reported $3.3 billion over five years for the rights to broadcast “Thursday Night Football.” The network tried and failed to lure Peyton Manning to the broadcast booth to add some star power to Thursday football, which is often brutal to watch. Strahan, Long and Bradshaw also host the “FOX NFL Sunday” show from Los Angeles. The Thursday show will reportedly be shot in New York to allow for Strahan’s “GMA” schedule. They will continue doing Sunday’s show from L.A., the report said. Manning likely to make … [Read more...] about Michael Strahan to host Fox’s ‘Thursday Night Football’ pregame show live from NYC: report

What is the fox hunting ban, is it illegal in the UK and could the ban on hunting with dogs be repealed?
FOX hunting with dogs has been outlawed since legislation was passed by the Labour government in 2004. But it hit the headlines again after PM Theresa May said she would allow a free vote on repealing the ban if she won the 2017 General Election. What is the latest on the issue? Is fox hunting illegal in the UK? Fox hunting with dogs was banned in 2004 amid complaints by animal welfare campaigners who argued it caused suffering to wild animals chased and killed by hounds. But the ban - which forbids the use of dogs to hunt foxes and other wild mammals in England and Wales - did not end traditional hunts. Many hunts now follow a scent trail instead of a fox, or work around loopholes in the law. And while hunting with foxes is banned - you can use dogs to "flush" out the fox so it can be caught by a bird of prey. What did Theresa May said about fox hunting? While campaigning for the 2017 General Election, May said she was in favour of hunting and a vote "would allow Parliament the … [Read more...] about What is the fox hunting ban, is it illegal in the UK and could the ban on hunting with dogs be repealed?
