During her Tuesday appearance on Fox & Friends, Laura Ingraham indicated that she wasn’t super-excited about the possibility that she might replace Sean Spicer as Press Secretary. Recent reports indicate that Spicer could soon be promoted to head of the White House communications department, and that Ingraham is one of the leading candidates to replace him at his podium. The matter attracted interest on Monday due to the White House’s off-camera press briefing, and today, Ingraham talked to Fox about how many questions she’s been getting about whether there was any truth to the reported developments. “I’ve always said that...

A restructuring is set to take place in the White House briefing room. The Gateway Pundit has recently learned from someone with very close ties to the Administration that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is slated to take over for current White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. Our exclusive source declined a further request for additional information regarding Sean Spicer’s future role in the White House Administration.

Trump names a Catholic who was mocked on Ash Wednesday to be his press secretary December 22, 2016 It’s Sean Spicer, who should quickly emerge as one of the most visible members of the administration: Spicer, the Republican National Committee’s communications director and chief strategist, has worked as a senior communications adviser to Trump during the transition.

Republican Party communications chief Sean Spicer will be the voice of the Trump administration.

President-elect Donald Trump is considering tapping Fox News analyst Monica Crowley as his press secretary, according to Politico. Crowley, who is also a regular columnist for the Washington Times, was an early and vocal supporter of Trump. Politico noted that she warned Fox not to underestimate Trump when he launched his presidential bid last year.

Based entirely on this interview segment it certainly appears that Laura Ingraham has been made an offer and is considering the ramifications:

President-elect Donald Trump may be considering conservative radio host and Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham for the position of White House press secretary. Ingraham is a defense attorney, and served as a Supreme Court law clerk. She also played a central role in Trump’s election campaign, helping Trump express criticism of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, as well as using her popularity to gain him supporters and give him a voice. Ingraham has also stated that she does not see Jews as a minority. In May 2016, she “forgot” on Twitter that Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was actually Jewish, writing, “Now,...

Ingraham would not comment for this article. A source familiar told The Hill that she's in contact with people in Trump's inner circle and has expressed interest in the role. The president-elect and his inner circle hold Ingraham in the highest esteem. They view her as tough, admire her rhetorical skills, and believe she'd powerfully convey Trump's anti-establishment message. Selecting Ingraham would send a signal that Trump has no interest in softening his relationships with the Republican leaders in Washington, D.C.

By now, everyone knows that there's a revolving door between Democratic politics and the "objective" news media. But does it have to spin so fast?

By that afternoon, and in heavy rotation in the evening around an Obama speech, Carney was battling for the White House position.
