Speculation abounds as Fox News talking head Andrea Tantaros is no longer appearing on air.
In response to a query from TV Newser, Fox issued a terse statement:
Issues have arisen regarding Andreas contract, and Fox News Channel has determined it best that she take some time off. She is still under contract with the network.
That opens the question of what could have changed regarding her contract all of a sudden.
The Examiner opens a few doors on what might (or might not) be at issue with Tantaros and the network:
While not cited by FNC as a reason for her extended vacation, Tantaros recently claimed during a taping of Outnumbered that certain GOP Establishment-types were coming down hard on her for supporting Donald Trump; "Specifically, Charles Cooke, who is a writer for National Review, he tweeted out that I should give my job to somebody else. Also, a meme by Kevin Williamson of National Review trying to make me seem stupid. I should give up my job according to men in the Republican Party."
In the midst of the Obama Administration's less-than-kosher investigations of certain journalists, Tantaros held little back.
As cited by the NewsHounds.us weblog, while on the air, Tantaros stated quite plainly, "This is Obamas America. Its like the Soviet Union. He said hed change the country. He said it, he said it, he said it, and a lot of people voted for him. And if you see any of those people today, do me a favor, punch 'em in the face. Well be right back."

A Tantarizing situation.
WHAT!!!!!! If there were a reason to watch faux, she was one of the reasons. Not many others. I’m sure someone will post a photo before long.
Her radio show is off the air here in Mo. on 97.1. It was replaced with a local call in show.

She’s not blonde.
Rumor has it they had to make room for their latest hire: Michelle Fields, and since Fox has a limit to the number of not-blondes she had to go.
She defied the Ministry of Propaganda once too often I guess.
Time for a new hashtag. Tweet to @FoxNews. #WeWantTantaros. I’m doing this right now. I hate censorship! I fought for freedom!
She’s my dream girl.
If anyone is going to come down hard on that pretty little lady, I think it should be me.
That seems logical.
Tantaros was one of the few people on Fox that was worth watching.
I’ve watched her before back when I watched Fox. She was and is a right thinking, intelligent woman - unlike so many of the other women on that network. Fox, apparently does not like free-thinking intelligent women, but ones that fit the mold of their goals to provide the sympathetic constituent to liberalism masquerading as the ‘alternative viewpoint’.
So, FOX has been a scam all along.
Speak some truth and get fired. I wonder if this is related to the saudi 20% stake in Fox?
Hence the reason why I no longer watch Fox News.
Good point.
Agree. No doubt she is an intelligent independent woman.
