Report: Talker Laura Ingraham To Launch News Wesbite

Laura Ingraham

Radio host and Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham is planning to launch a new conservative news and opinion website, sources with knowledge of her plans told Politco's On Media blog on Tuesday.

One source said that Neil Munro, the political reporter who resigned from the Daily Caller this week, will serve as the site's editor.

Ingraham's new site will likely reflect the pundit's conservative ideology and champion her pet causes, the sources said. Ingraham has been an outspoken opponent of immigration reform and has dedicated herself to getting anti-"amnesty" candidates into office. In 2014, she helped turn Dave Brat into a conservative sensation, enabling his stunning upset over House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

The new site, launch date TBD, will join an already crowded field of conservative political sites, ranging from the likes of Breitbart News and Washington Free Beacon to older outlets like National Review and The Weekly Standard. Ahead of 2016, many of these conservative sites are jockeying for influence over the Republican nomination process, hoping to push their preferred candidate to the nomination.
