"Fox News pulls away from the White House press briefing after @PressSec shows a video of protests in Portland."
"We were not expecting that video, and our management here at Fox News has decided we will pull away from that at this time," @HARRISFAULKNER says

Here in greater Harrisburg, on Fios, Newsmax is on 615, OANN is 616 and FNC is 618. I’ll take another look at Newsmax.
President Trump in an interview a few days ago expressed his disdain for Fox News, now I know why.
I listen to Howie every day, while out and about on VOM, while working. haven’t had a chance to see him on newsmax yet, but hoping to get the chance!

The fact that you agreed with fox makes it even worse.
An f bomb during THAT news story merits it being taken of the air?
If the f bomb wasn't there but kids saw and heard a monster talking about burning down police officers homes with them inside would that be okay by you?
The left is counting on people like you to help them take down this country.
Watch and learn, it's the best <8min video you'll ever see proving BLM and ANTIFA are intricately linked together attacking the police nationwide.

I think so but that matters not. Opinions on that subject vary. But my comment was addressed at the question of why they shut it down.
I think it is Fox News policy to avoid profanity on their news feeds and the producers were just following that policy. Generally speaking, employees abide by company policies if they want to keep their jobs.
So I understand that you don’t agree with Fox News policy. Write them a letter and tell them to stop bleeping out the fowl language on their news feeds. Personally I’m glad they do that. You don’t. So we have a disagreement. Big deal. This is, after all, a forum for the exchange of ideas.
You’ve read their policies? Please post.
Don’t be silly. You can do that yourself. Try Google.
I saw that article yesterday and watched Tucker last night to see if he would mention it. Nope! He kept his mouth shut.

You accept "company policies" as full justification for selecting and restricting (censoring) what they are willing or allowed to cover.
Furthermore, you seem to accept that it's OK to apply those rules to breaking NEWS, equally well as to OPINION programs, without destinction.
That's actually what FAKE NEWS is, after all.
We need better sources than that for real honest news.
You guys really don’t get it. Producers can be fired for violations of company policy. $150,000 a year and now you are on the street.
The policy itself could wrong. In this case most Freepers seem to believe that showing F***TRUMP on a Fox News broadcast is just fine. I don’t but I realize I’m in rhe minority.
But profanity on our news should not, IMHO, be normalized. If you disagree, call Fox. I was just pointing how the system works. And it does not allow producers freedom to violate company policies.
So don’t fire me and don’t fire the producer. Fire the Board of Directors at Fox News - not a bad idea actually.
And of course I can't "fire" you, nor would I want to.
However, I can (and do) publicly condemn Fox News, and most of Main Stream Media, for FAKE NEWS policies, and you for seeming to think they are acceptable.
Do you object to profanity on Fox News. Would you change the policy? Do think Trimp would like to see that policy changed?
Look - you and I are 95% in agreement and you somehow think that I’m anti-Trump - or something.
I am terrified by the possibility of a Biden/Communist takeover of our country in November. As we all are. I think Trump is at least the best President since Reagan and possibly Lincoln.
Don’t over-analyze my position. I just happen to believe that profanity is not appropriate on Fox News broadcasts.
It was NOT "profanity on Fox News".
It also was NOT a threat to "Burn down your house with you inside" (arson and murder of "you"} from Fox News.
Both those were clearly included in an indisputable display of a video of the current rioting in Portland. The video was displayed to clarify Trump's position in protecting federal property and federal employees in Portland, as proof that these were NOT "peaceful protests", as claimed by the opposition and the Main Stream Media.
It's actually a little funny, but the complete video WAS shown on Fox News, complete with profanity and murder threats.
What was actually censored by Fox was the Press Corp reaction to the video, which did NOT contain profanity and murder threats. They must have reacted in shock, that such hard truth in opposition to the fake news they wish to support was aired in this press conference.
I simply suggest for you that if you are willing to tolerate hiding the truth (preventing it from appearing on the news) because it contains profanity, you will probably never really understand the truth.
It was profanity on Fox News.
I watched it live and I was shocked that the Trump team would keep that segment in the clip when it could have easily been edited out. Deleting a couple of seconds would not hurt their message.
And I believe the producer would not have cut away if that edit had been made.
I don’t expect you to agree with that but it is what I think. A snap decision by a Fox News producer. Not a big conspiracy to elect a Joe Biden, just a snap decision.
Deleting any of this simply makes the message FAKE NEWS.
Of course the cut off was a snap decision by a Fox News producer. The question is WHY.
And for whatever reason the producer did cut away, the video, including the profanity, had already been shown, and what he actually did was immediately cut off the press conference, preventing any reaction to the video from being shown.
I seriously doubt he expected the following content of the press conference would contain any profanity, so that cannot be the reason.
It has nothing to do with Joe Biden. It may, however, have everything to do with Fox News growing anti Trump stance.
We watch YouTube for free on our vizio tv. It’s how we watch the FOX news programs we want to, for free. Also available with a $10 Roku device on our older flat screen. It’s hard to find a whole episode, but there are no commercials and it’s much more preferable to paying $180/month for satellite. There are only a few shows on Fox news and Fox business news that we care to watch, anyway.
LOL.
This can’t go on forever. If I declare you the winner can we move on?
My current interest: Finding documentation on the flow of money from at least BLM and Antifa (and probably others) to people on the street. I simply refuse to believe that the weapons, explosives, military gear, food, portable toilets ... are just a gift of the Tooth Fairy.
This seems like an important subject but Google doesn’t agree. And maybe Google is correct. If so I have to wonder what ever happened to investigative journalism.
And I agree with you that massive funding for all this is coming from powerful political interests, rather than "the people". And I would start looking for who is funding BLM and Antifa.
Here is a search that I used that does not use Google:
