NEW YORK — The apparent suspension of Jeanine Pirro is squeezing Fox News Channel in two directions.
A prominent Muslim-American civil rights organization is calling for advertisers to boycott Fox News, while another group is petitioning to have the weekend host reinstated.
Pirro wasn’t on the air Saturday, a week after Fox publicly condemned her for comments questioning U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s loyalty because she wears a Muslim head covering. Fox hasn’t explained the former New York-area district attorney’s absence, declining to comment on “internal scheduling matters.”
The network’s schedule for the upcoming weekend lists another program in Pirro’s time slot.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights organization, this week said that advertisers should boycott Fox News until Pirro and prime-time host Tucker Carlson were fired. Carlson has been fighting back since being criticized last week for comments made on a radio show a decade ago and unearthed last week.
Meanwhile, the lobbying group Act for America urged its members write to Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott to complain about Pirro’s absence. In its online message, Act for America said that instead of rewarding its anchor for opening a much-needed debate, “Fox News caved to pressure from the radical left.”
“Jeanine Pirro did nothing wrong,” the group’s leader, Brigitte Gabriel, said via tweet. “People should be outraged.”

...”It’s time for Fox News to choose sides.”...
They just did, and it was not on the side of this country. I read that Saudi Arabia just signed some kind of streaming contract with Fox News. Could that have influenced what happened to the Judge? These globalists are blind and foolish. Otto Scott, a great historical writer who wrote a great book, “Robespierre,” about the French Revolution, once told me 35 years ago that the US was in decline and when she reached her last days, it would seem like she was falling off a cliff. Otto is gone, but as I watch and listen, I wonder whether we are now teetering on that Cliff. When Fox News goes, we will get only propaganda from media and entertainment. Civility will go and all life will be cheapened like the lives of the unborn and newborns are today. I pray God will comfort during the hard times to come if the radical left gets it’s way.
Fox is doing to itself what MeAgain Kelly did to herself.
I thought her criticism was about the fact she practiced sharia law.
I’d bet not near soon enough, if ever.
I believe they were classified as an unindicted co-conspirator some while back for financing a terror group, not that anyone paid attention.
Nothing to worry about... Now Paul Ryan is on board and will straighten the situation out... /s
Yep, Fox is about to save $150/mo if they follow this primrose path.
Yep, that turkey will come out and show his true lib colors.
Fox news is in a bind about a whole lotta things. They should take shovels away from the executives who just can’t stop digging .
Except for the Greg Gutfield show, I don’t watch any other FOX show.
Tucker, Sean, and Laura are too full of “BREAKING” “THIS JUST IN” and other pathetic attempts to drum up excitement over stale and stupid news.
American Online is all I watch now. Pure Trump.
No more surprising Walmart stinking voters catching a free thought about just who runs this country.
We found life without FOX is just fine. No problems whatsoever. NO shakes. NO trembling. NO out of control shouting. Everything is A-OK.
This was the final nail... bye-bye FOX
“They keep the fag (Shep) “
That would be two of ‘em — Shep and Napolitano. Can’t stand either of them.
i’m thinking there is no squeeze.
Fox news has been tossed overboard, look at Paul Ryan joining the board. I interpret that as GAME OVER
If this is who FOX is bowing down to then America is lost.
Obviously the commies have infiltrated the business schools to get these dummies to think this way.
Lo-
Your opinion host P.O.s their enemies. The fans are ok w/them.
By keeping the host unhindered, you keep the fans and draw in the enemies, waiting for the next thing to be P.O’d about.
You’ve now captured the full market.
Ratings up.
Advertisers that initially pull away will miss that target rich environment.
Keeping the judge off is stuck on stupid.
“OANN would be REALLY WISE to hire Jeanine Pirro. Their ratings would skyrocket.”
I doubt they could match her current salary.
Fox is between a rock and a hard place.
“OANN would be REALLY WISE to hire Jeanine Pirro. Their ratings would skyrocket.”
Yes or Trump could make her Ambassador to the United Nations.
it wasn't criticism. It was a pertinent question. Which one held prominence for her, The Constitution or sharia? Which one guides her in her legislative role? It's a fair question.
