New York's Gabriel Sherman reports that Fox News is scaling back airtime for Republican pundit Karl Rove, in what appears to be a reprimand for Rove's meltdown during the network's live election broadcast.
Sources told Sherman that Fox News chief Roger Ailes has ordered his staff to bench Rove and his fellow GOP pundit Dick Morris, two of the network's most vocal partisan voices whose predictions turned out to be spectacularly wrong. According to Sherman, producers must now get permission before booking Rove or Morris on Fox shows.
The move comes as Fox takes steps to rehab its image in the wake of Republican defeats this November. Rove, in particular, has been widely mocked by members of both parties, both for his onscreen tantrum and for the abysmal performance of his American Crossroads super PAC.

And now Boehner is their living, breathing heir. Gawd--how did we get to this place? Was the last sane Republican to hold office Newt Gingrich??
Good. And, I cannot listen to Sean anymore: his calling Rove “the Architect” makes me sick”
Have ANY of you naysayers EVER seen a negative comment about a liberal on DU ort any lib outlet? No? Well that must mean that libs are all correct 100% of the time.
If that’s the case, we should all switch parties.
We spend more time lambasting our own than in fighting for our positions. You idiots should be ashamed.
Is Jemu [sp?] really better than Laura Ingraham? Is Colmes better than Hannity? Is liberalism better than conservativism?
If you believe Rove is a conservative, then maybe YOU belong over at DU.
“If you believe Rove is a conservative, then maybe YOU belong over at DU.”
So only those that think precisely as you are welcome? No wonder we lost in November.
Christ on a crooked crutch!
Regarding Morris, I have to step up and make the observation that he had a spectacularly GOOD year in predictions and commentary in 2010. His insight that the Tea Party would be a controlling influence was nearly unprecedented, as was his prediction that the GOP would pick up on the order of 40-50 seats as much as 8 months before Nov’10. He had a huge miss this year, but then so did the likes of Barone, so I will allow Morris to sit in that company for now.
This is a conservative website...check it out before you spout your BS. Conservatism—and this country—LOST in ‘08 and ‘12. A large part of the reason for those two devastating losses is Karl Rove and people who think like him and you. Get lost.
