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.”

I bet you think Twitter is fair to everyone

There is circumstantial evidence. Brat’s assistant tweeted his outrage. Faux released the obligatory statement about bigotry. Pirro was off air on Saturday. No Faux host has whispered her name

She has gone silent. No tweeting at all. No one has interviewed her. Faux hosts are silent

Its highly likely Bret is trying to get BOR’s old job.
Working with the RATS to damage Faux News could do it.

We DO know that Megyn Kelly wasn’t the only one trying to destroy Trump during the Fox News debate.
Megyn would never have stuck her neck out that far without backing.

If Kristinn is saying it, you can bet he has solid info.
This could explain a great deal what has been going on at Faux.

Hannity has got to stop interrupting his guests, talking about himself, and inserting things that are no necessary at that moment.

The same for Laura. She’s becoming an egotistical lightweight.

Pirro - as good a woman commentator as I’ve heard in 50 years of being a journalist. She’s the Judge Judy of news sanity but with less sarcasm and more humor. I’d take her over Ingraham any day.

Carlson: Getting much better but his Libertarian streak has left him open to be gullible when faced with a Marxist in sheep’s clothing leftist like Prof. Stephen Cohen (Princeton/NYU), the top academic apologist for the Soviet Union and Putin’s Russia in the U.S. and there was one other leftist ideologue who he keeps having on (name eludes me for the moment, unless it was Van Jones, another dyed in the sheep’s wool Marxist).

His segments on attacks on religion and education are getting better and more focused. That’s the way it should be.

Martha McCallum is pretty good and on some occasions, really great.

Mr. Arroyo is very good as a guest. Sebastian Gorka needs to be given more than sound bits to expound upon what is known as “geostrategic strategy and policies, as well as the tactics that are being used against us by our enemies and our own internal jellyfish.

The same for John Bolton.

Greg Gutfeld on “The Five” is becoming a true scholar of history and politics. Hat’s off to him for doing so.

Jesse Waters needs to cut out superfluous “clowning” and stick to the facts because when he does that, i.e. putting them straight out for the audience to see and hear, it is very effective.

Shep Smith. A snowflake in the summer heat. However, he does good stories with a humanitarian twist if it doesn’t concern the border security/immigration issue.

Bret Baier. I’m worried that he is going over to the “darkside”.

BRING BACK JUDGE JEANNINE. She rocks.

Ever wonder why Bret Baier’s camera shots are all of him above midchest. The funny thing was a day last week some of Brett’s hair coloring was on his forehead clear as day and he went on air with it! He had the black mark of Gorbachyov on his forehead, just too bad it wasn’t in the shape of an L.

Fox is making it very easy to not tune in to it.

Brett, Kelly and Chris Wallace had schemed to undermine Trump in his debate and got caught, but Trump cancelled. He’s a Democrat.

Brit Hume used to be very conservative back when he first came on Fox. However, during a period where he was very outspoken, his son died under somewhat odd circumstances. When Brit returned to Fox, he was mild and meek, and never outspoken. Message sent, message received was the rumor at the time.

OANN should step up, let folks like Pirro and Hannity invest and take it to the next level...leave Fox.

Baier and Smith are basically the reasons why I turned off Fox News 12 years ago and never came back. Surprised they’re still employed - both are really really bad at the job. Maybe they give sexual favors to the producers or something.

This let’s me know everything I need to know about Brett.As a long time broadcaster you can tell who these clowns are when they interview guests.Baer is so insincere when he gets rid of consevatie guests its quite telling,IMHO.
For some reason I never quite trusted the guy,now he’s on my
SH_T list and will be forever.
