Claim: Fox News Host Secretly Worked to Get Jeanine Pirro Suspended to Curry Favor With Democrats
GP ^ | 3/18/19 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 03/18/2019 5:37:32 PM PDT by Revel

A source with intimate knowledge of the situation is claiming two Fox News hosts secretly maneuvered to get Judge Jeanine Pirro suspended over her controversial remarks about Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), with one, Bret Baier, allegedly seeking to curry favor with Democrats to reverse a decision to not allow Fox to host any of the party’s presidential primary debates by getting Fox to suspend Pirro.

he original complaint came from Bret Baier’s team. Bret saw an opportunity to make Fox News acceptable enough to the left, so he could get himself a job of hosting the Democratic Debates. Bret instructed one of his producers, Hufsa Kamal, to tweet a condemnation of Judge Jeanine to put pressure on Fox News to suspend her show.

Shepard Smith, known as a “never-Trumper”, also played a major role in the Judge’s suspension. “He lobbied 24/7 to suspend her.”

If this were written by Jim Hoft then I would be way more suspicious. As it is then you can always ask the author. He is one of us.

I have visions of a new network with a true patrout lineup. Of course the left would call it far right. But anything a hair right of Marx would be far right to them.

Other than his own nefarious history and leanings that are well-documented. Just on the surface, this accusation is plausible - though I agree we need some evidence.

Shepard Smith, wouldn’t surprise me ONE BIT, but Bret Baier, that would be a surprise and really disappointing if true..so basically Fox News wants to SO badly get Dems who constantly call them propaganda and not real news, to be involved in debates, that they are willing to throw away someone who brings them top notch ratings every week..WOW really Fox News, you have gone THAT far into the damn gutter

Has the unnamed source been corroborated by another, independent source...ideally by a different journalist?

Until/unless the source is named or corroborated this is sensational BS, little else.

As is the normal course for GP.

Bret just seems quite full of himself. I used to like Brit Hume but I’ve never trusted Bret. Brit is still too hard ton Trump at times, IMO, but he seems to be coming around.

Trump has disrupted SO many comfy situations. A miracle, honestly.

This needs to be documented fully and then the lawsuits could fly. The worms at Fox are moving steadily leftward and there need to be consequences.

Best consequences is not watching Fox - which is happening.

They tout the fact that they regularly beat MSNBC and CNN, which is technically true. What they're not reporting is that they are losing viewers badly year after year from cable cutting, lack of youth interest and their pervasive, idiotic never-Trumpism.

I knew it was the Eyeshadow Sodomite without reading.

Wouldn’t have guessed the other was Bier, but I’m not surprised. He’s a swamper.

News flash for Brett... conservative Trump supporters have no interest on watching the commies debate and weren’t planning on watching anyway. The real ratings will be in the Trump rallies and debates. We’ll just stream it screw FNC.
