To the Editor:

Trump TV, aka Fox News, has scored another low mark thanks to its sneering cross-bearer, Laura Ingraham. The holy one recently mocked a 17-year-old Parkland High student for failing to get accepted into UCLA despite his 4.2 grade point average.

Parkland High senior David Hogg, who has been one of many student spokespersons against the NRA and gun violence in the aftermath of the Valentine’s Day massacre at the Florida school, has apparently drawn the wrath of the Trump minions on Fox News.

Ingraham gleefully tweeted Hogg “whimpered” about not getting accepted to the California university. Nice lady, picking on a high school student. She’s a real credit to her “faith.” 

I happened to tune into Fox on Ash Wednesday and saw Ingraham, with her prominent ash cross smeared on her forehead, and she looked like a temple Pharisee making a public display of her great faith. I notice she always seems to wear a little cross on her necklace — yet her on-air comments show she has the compassion of a stone and the sneer of Herod.

If Fox News is the channel of choice in heaven, I sure as hell don’t want to go.
