REPORT: Fox News Is Taking Karl Rove Off The Air (Over election night meltdown)
Business Insider ^ | 12/04/2012 | Grace Wyler

Posted on 12/04/2012 4:57:34 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Karl RoveNew York's Gabriel Sherman reports that Fox News is scaling back airtime for Republican pundit Karl Rove, in what appears to be a reprimand for Rove's meltdown during the network's live election broadcast. 

Sources told Sherman that Fox News chief Roger Ailes has ordered his staff to bench Rove and his fellow GOP pundit Dick Morris, two of the network's most vocal partisan voices whose predictions turned out to be spectacularly wrong. According to Sherman, producers must now get permission before booking Rove or Morris on Fox shows. 

The move comes as Fox takes steps to rehab its image in the wake of Republican defeats this November. Rove, in particular, has been widely mocked by members of both parties, both for his onscreen tantrum and for the abysmal performance of his American Crossroads super PAC.

[I still won’t watch FOX.]

My blood pressure is doing great since I stopped watching ANY of the cable or national news.

My own personal boycott and it works for me...I just stopped feeding the media beast.

[And the same thing is going to happen in 2014 and 2016.]

IMO, it didn’t HAVE to massive fraud, they knew exactly where to commit it down to the districts.

That information was gleaned from the 2004 AND 2010 elections.

Certainly far from a melt-down. I thought he was being reasonable in his asking questions and looking at the numbers. I consider this poppycock to me.

Fox News Is Keeping Karl Rove & Dick Morris Off the Air Following Poor Election Predictions, Report Claims

Fox News programming chief Bill Shine, has sent out orders mandating that producers must get permission before booking Rove or Morris.

At a rehearsal on the Saturday before the election, according to a source, anchor Megyn Kelly chuckled when she relayed to colleagues what someone had told her: “I really like Dick Morris. He’s always wrong but he makes me feel good.”

She has connections to George Soros and was one of the organizers of the “occupy movement” and is a lesbian that tries to look and act like a man. I don’t if there is one particular show that has her on, I don’t watch or pay much attention to Fox anymore but if she’s on I turn it off.

Barone may have proved to be as wrong as Morris and Rove about the election, but he has more objective intelligence
than both of them put together. I’ve read him for a long time, and am always impressed at the substance of the things he says, and his unique perspectives. He’s coming from a whole different area than Rove and Morris, lacks their high-profile techno-glitz, but he never put himself out there as a flash-point prognosticator in the spotlight, and decidedly is also NOT someone who is selling anything like books, websites,or his own services as fundraiser, PAC-man, or Kingmaker.

Can't you just imagine this was the scene with Obama and his Commie staff after stealing the election through voter fraud- while Conservatives blame Romney, argue, point fingers, blather on about who to run in four years, 'starting a new party', and try to figure out how to suck up to minorities the 'next time'?

Map from Barack Obama Voter Fraud 2012


What most refuse to acknowledge is that it was unlikely that ANYBODY could have beaten the voter fraud planned and perpetrated by the Obama machine. They seem to prefer pointing fingers, blaming Romney and blathering on about who to run in 2016 and how to suck up to the minorities.

>Polls indicated that Romney was going to win the election.

>The economy is close to Great Depression era conditions, and unemployment is almost as high as when Obama entered office.

>Economic conditions became so dire after Obama took office it prompted the rise of an entire new movement, the Tea Party.

>Presidents rarely win reelection when the economy is in the tank.

>Mitt knew it too, when he was met by several thousand in that parking garage cheering him when he arrived unannounced at that airport, and he put his hand over his heart and said, 'This is how you know you've won'.

So how did Romney lose a race that numerous reputable polls and pundits predicted would be an easy win, based on historical patterns?

Massive voter fraud.

That and no other reason

Almost every major Conservative website has put out an article charging voter fraud- Breitbart, American Thinker, Atlas Shrugs, WND, The Blaze, Front Page Magazine, Fox News, The Daily Caller, Town Hall, Human Events..


We can not wait for 2014 and 2016 to regroup and figure out new strategies. By then it will be too late. The Marxist/Muslim usurper will have completed his planned distruction of America. That's what people fail to understand.

We must act NOW.

Start with the election. If we let the Rats get away with this massive voter fraud, we're no better than a bananna republic.

We must keep digging and pounding him every day, in every way we can- phony birth certificate, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, his hidden life, records....

Fair enough. The GOP had one of two of those in recent years.

One was Sarah Palin, whom they stabbed in the back and disrespected.

The other was Allen West who they stabbed in the back, redistricted, and then lifted not a finger to support him as he claimed voter fraud, which I do believe occurred.

I despise the GOP now. I’m not going to vote for them again, and I may well vote against them.

If the GOP can be purged from government, then the democrat party will no longer have its whipping boy. No more foil to blame, nothing but what they do.

People might say, I’m crazy because the democrats will be free to implement anything they want, and I say to that just as they are right now and have been for some time.

I do believe some fraud did occur.

I just don’t believe that it was massive or otherwise systematic.

I also believe that it will occur again, possibly to a greater extent after further refining.

I mean, why not cheat if the GOP isn’t going to address or investigate it at all?

Couldn’t agree more, those “5” are dragging Fox down and should all be thrown overboard. Beckel is the worst, just a fat old guy who hates everyone and everything that is decent and moral. O’Reilly is a truly stupid man, he is more interested in pleasing the leftist crowd and pandering to the likes of “Jon Stewart” or other morons on the left. Fox better learn that veering left will be the end of them, their appeal is diminishing more and more, I don’t watch them except for a few reports from Cavuto or Hannity.

Fox News and Hannity's Golden Boys of Punditry were a disgraceful waste of air time for years on Fox News.

Good for Ailes.

Now give Sarah more air time if you want to gain some relevancy.

Along with Ham, that chick Jedediah and Sal Russo.

Also the two dark haired babes on The Five. Heh, especially them...OK and Greg too and the Eric guy. NOT Belchkel. Err ths is...Beckel

If the FOX hired hands were depending on the Gallup polls, they showed a Romney win ~ all the other polls had actually been extra special massaged to work out all the biases that were left in the Gallup polls, and they showed an Obamugabe win.

Actually, all the polls other than Gallup were no longer polls but edumacated guesses using poll numbers for nothing other than guide posts for the boundaries of conjecture.

For the last year Gallup had been asking all the people they contacted what their sexual orientation was. That right there messed them up since that wasn't a random sample the second the GBLT community found out about that particular practice.

From then on the GBLT folks made sure to respond to phone calls from Gallup.

With normal response rates down to 9%, and GBLT response rates up to 100%, that overrepresented the GBLT responses by 1100%.

Which means "yup, the GBLT crowd knew that Romney was their boy" ~ and Gallup was remarkably stupid to mix sex with polling.

That little bitty 1/3 of a % crowd showed up as a full 4% crowd, and they gave Mitt a poll result that said he would win. In the end he lost because he didn't really have that 4% edge! It was fake.

Why cheat? Do you know what cheating costs in the market place these days ~ it's major. It's far easier to just go find some goober and convince him he's a Democrat, get him registered, and get him to the polls to vote.

That sounds rather old fashioned, but you know what, IT WORKS!

No need for me to even do that.

Liberalism is a self replicating virus.

I can sit here and play video games all day and all night and the number of democrats that exist and vote will increase at a geometric rate.

The machine is running, and it is on automatic.

I have read 50 posts, and not one mention of Rove popping up on MSNBC?

He will be the new whack-a-mole.
