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 wasnt on the air Saturday, a week after Fox publicly condemned her for comments questioning U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omars loyalty because she wears a Muslim head covering. Fox hasnt explained the former New York-area district attorneys absence, declining to comment on internal scheduling matters.
The networks schedule for the upcoming weekend lists another program in Pirros time slot.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nations 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 Pirros 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 groups leader, Brigitte Gabriel, said via tweet. People should be outraged.

Some sources are reporting Fox’s Bret Baier and Shep Smith and their staffs are behind the suspension of Judge Janine Pierro. Bret Baier says it was not him. Shep Smith has not commented.
The question really is “why is Fox censoring Judge Janine for asking an uncomfortable question”. Does Fox support free speech or are they just CAIR’s bitches?
Bump
I caught myself tonight started watching and realized what I was doing and turned of OFF. WHEN THE JUDGE COMES BACK SO WILL I
OK Fox. This is an IQ test for the youngsters running the show there now.
How many muzzie viewers and consumers in the US?
How many watch Fox news?
Same two questions now but substitute CONSERVATIVES for the word “muzzie”.
Now decide. Pirro and Carlson or bow to the muzzie demands.
I know this is really tough for you but think hard. The correct answer will come to you.
we don’t have enough muslims in America for CAIR to be a ‘prominent’ anything.
As much as I like Judge Janine. Fox is dead to me. OANN maybe a little wooden but they report, from what Ive seen without a bunch of opinion. I form my own opinions and the suedo-journalists can foxtrot oscar. Opinions are like a certain body orfice, they stink and they should be kept to themselves. IMO
Some sponsors, reportedly Letgo, have put pressure on FOX to drop Pirro. Her opening statements have been extremely effective. And that is why the outcry against her. She didn’t say anything that deserved censure.
Sounds like the several headline news out there. And yes, that is a bit of my recollection as well.
