Laura Anne Ingraham (born June 19, 1963) is an American conservative television host, author, and political commentator.[1][2] She graduated from Dartmouth College with a Bachelor of Arts in 1985 and earned a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law, after which she served as a speechwriter in the Reagan administration and clerked for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.[3][4] Ingraham launched her media career in the 1990s, hosting a nationally syndicated radio program, The Laura Ingraham Show, which became the most-listened-to show hosted by a woman in political talk radio.[5] In 2017, she debuted The Ingraham Angle on Fox News Channel, a primetime program airing weeknights at 10 p.m. ET that focuses on current events from a conservative perspective and has consistently outperformed competitors in ratings, including MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.[6][7] She is also the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers, including Power to the People, Shut Up & Sing, The Obama Diaries, and Of Thee I Zing, which critique elite influence, liberal policies, and cultural shifts.[8] Ingraham's career is defined by her advocacy for restricted immigration, traditional family structures, and economic deregulation, often challenging narratives from establishment media and academia, institutions she has highlighted for systemic ideological biases favoring progressive viewpoints.[7]
