Fox News ‘Terminates’ Trey Gowdy
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/9/2019 | PHILLIP NIETO

Posted on 10/09/2019 6:48:23 PM PDT by Beave Meister

Fox News announced Wednesday that the former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy has been “terminated” by the network.

Gowdy’s firing comes after he reportedly agreed to help the White House fight a Democrat led impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump. Fox originally hired the former representative as an on-air contributor back in January.

“Trey Gowdy has been terminated and is no longer a contributor,” a Fox News spokesperson told the Hollywood Reporter.

The former South Carolina representative rose to fame as chairman of the House oversight committee. During his tenure, he led investigations into the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks in Libya, and supported other inquiries into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Gowdy decided to not run for reelection in the 2018 midterms after serving 8 years in the House.

“Whatever skills I may have are better utilized in a courtroom than in Congress, and I enjoy our justice system more than our political system,” Gowdy said before the 2018 midterm elections, according to Bloomberg.

Pushing 24/7/365.

Even leftists have limited tolerance for blind unrelenting hatred.

They terminated Don Jr’s new friend from Fox’s The Five.

Doncha’ know the repubs, the right, the conservatives, have to be squeaky clean and the other side can be dangerously bad and corrupt.. cover for the corruption and throw the conservative out. If Fox stays too clean, they will “be made fun of by CNN, ABC and the rest of the media.

The local guy, Erickson, that comes on at 4 after 1 hour of Hannity, her in Atlanta.. has made fun of we/us who watch any news from Fox.. the same station Rush is on and Hannity.. I can’t stand him and off he goes. He sounds so superior when he rips into Trump’s voters. He just can’t give Trump a chance... can’t see the good from his own bias in the beginning.

I think she was asking if Ryan had a hand in getting rid of Gowdy.

And then they un-terminated Marie Barf...

Yip... She’s back and bigger than ever. I’d guess she put on about 30 lbs. while she was gone. I suppose she was on maternity leave.

Anonymous source [as if Fox doesn’t know who their own staff is] lies, deliberately confuses resignation with termination to add to the media’s desperate ‘gloom and doom’ assault on Trump’s base.

The guy that was on the couch today, after Marie spouted off about something, bombed her comment as “Ignorant”. Then one of the gals jumped RIGHT in and said “Don’t call Marie ignorant”!

Better question: If Hillary hires Donna “I got your debate questions, right here” Brazile as part of her campaign, would Fox News terminate her?

You bet they would. Fox still has journalistic ethics, unlike its leftist competitors. It would be highly unethical to employ Gowdy while he's an active participant of a partisan election.

Fox is the only cable network to attempt to present both sides of issues. I watch a lot and it still tilts Right in most of its programming. If Fox took only Right Wing positions it would be as bad as CNN or MSNBC who never offer balanced reporting. If Freepers aren't able to handle some opposing viewpoints it's a sad day for me as a conservative.

Come on, FReepers - stop feeling and start thinking! Fox's "termination" of Trey Gowdy confirms the reports that Gowdy has joined President Trump's legal team. Is there anyone here who doesn't want to watch Gowdy cross-examine witnesses in an upcoming impeachment trial?

I’m going to use an old Chad from my UC Berkeley days for Reese to have a giant rally on the mall and smash thousands of TV sets and read statistics about how children were seeing hundreds of episodes of violence that they should never see and it was causing all kinds of problems in America this was the 1980s

Smash TV! Smash the state!

The 2019 version is : smash TV! Smash the deep state!

The only two media you should ever pay attention to are

one - talk radio and two- free republic

I’m dead serious

If Fox had journalistic ethics, they wouldn’t have hired Ms. Brazile in the first place. Or Mark Fuhrman, for that matter. I don’t care so much if they hire left or right but I do care when they hire people who behave dishonestly then lie about it. In my opinion, their credibility is tainted henceforth.
