The MAGA superstars lost their Fox gig after pushing absolutely wild conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fox News has cut ties with MAGA vlogging superstars Diamond & Silk, who had contributed original content to the network’s streaming service Fox Nation since shortly after its late 2018 launch.
The sudden split comes after the Trump-boosting siblings have come under fire for promoting conspiracy theories and disinformation about the coronavirus. “After what they’ve said and tweeted you won’t be seeing them on Fox Nation or Fox News anytime soon,” a source with knowledge of the matter told The Daily Beast.
After rising to prominence during the 2016 election, Lynette “Diamond” Hardaway and Rochelle “Silk” Richardson leveraged their newfound celebrity into regular sycophantic appearances on Fox News, resulting in President Donald Trump raving about their performances, featuring them at rallies, and treating them as “senior advisers.”

This type of issue keeps happening at Fox News - they either suspend of fire people with “unapproved” views. How exactly can they be “Fair and Balanced?”
“We distort, you deride”
Surprised that this was not posted yesterday!
Diamond and Silk are entertainers, and Fox News screwed up, IMHO!
HST, it is interesting that DJT supports them: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/28/trump-support-fox-news-coronavirus-214517
Help Make America Great Again, Again!
Meaning?
Paul Ryan, Donna Brazile?
Who watches FoxNews anymore? I don’t miss it one bit.
Fox is dead to me........
“We report, you decide”
Faux News!
The took a left before Obama’s election and kept going farther left. Except for 4 or 5 personnel, Fox is no different than CNN. propaganda for the left.
Thanks, Ryan, you commie POS!
Corporate media is uniformly progressive-statist these days. ESPN often sounds like MSNBC. It’s unwatchable. All of it.
[[How exactly can they be “Fair and Balanced?”]]
By hiring people like donna brazille, juan williams etc to spout their liberal nonsense without any repercussions at all of course-
Fox sucks now-
All we have to do is get our FRiends, neighbors, business associates, virtual strangers, etc. etc. to vote for Trump and the Republican Congressional and Senatorial candidates on November 3, 2020!
AND, we shall overcome!
Agreed!
I wonder how much longer Tucker, Hannity, Laura and the Fox and FRiends crew are gonna last?
OooKaaay!
OANN and NEWSMAX have some good shows, but I still like Tucker, Hannity and Laura, and the weekend Fox and FRiends snows.
Pls see my #17.
I'm also disgusted by the Donna Brazile hire. She clearly belongs on CNN or MSNBC.
I really wish OAN was more widely available. We still don't have it, and I haven't gotten around to getting a Roku or Apple TV yet... just so I can somehow get OAN.
NewsMax TV isn't the greatest. It could use a LOT of improvement.
I'm still a Diamond & Silk fan! I'll continue to follow them, wherever I can find them. Are they banned from YouTube, too? Wouldn't surprise me...
They were asking questions. That’s what people in the news business are supposed to do.
Answering the questions would resolve any concerns.
Forbidding the uestions only raises more concrrns.
