Radio is Easier than TV: Laura Ingraham Raw Video

Saturday July 19, 2008
A montage clip of raw video featuring radio talk show host Laura Ingraham during the course of her short "This Just In" stint on Fox News has been posted and passed around on the Internet.

According to mediabistro.com: "The video shows Ingraham berating her staff ('You're talking too much' or 'Don't hover at me'), declaring her show a 'train wreck,' and asking if what she saw as a problem was, 'the Fox way of doing things?'"

If nothing else, the clip demonstrates a certain amount of behind-the-scenes stress and confusion in trying to put her short-lived Fox show together each day.

You can view the clip at mediabistro.com.
