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.

Juan Williams?
About time.
Whenever that fat blob shows up I turn the channel and that’s when I wet h fox which is less and less these days.
Much as I would like to say it was stolen and that we got robbed...I also know that almost no one knows what Benghazi even is. We have some incredibly stupid, uniformed people in this country Joe.
People do not even know what socialism means, not even remotely.
It is not possible to explain to a person where they are headed in terms of political philosophy such as socialism when they do not even understand the words you are using.
Our side has been so utterly ineffective that not only do I think our side didn’t show up, I am not even certain that it exists to the extent that we may believe it exists.
I think we are becoming extinct.
Exactly
I am fed up with the fraud and the tired excuses butThe media and
Fox media enablers .
The election was stolen and done very openly but the
Media is owned by the Daley Soros machine and nothing will be leaked out ever .
Early voting in Fl and OH gave the Dems more access to electronic voting machine and time to create votes !
The fact the Broward Black leftist Election crook had spare votes just incase said it all !
Meltdown? Hardly.
The stupid party just got its ass aboslutely kicked."
Boy we sure got our asses kicked during passage of 0bamacare too but that doesn't mean it was achieved legitimately. FAR FROM IT, my friend. And if you don't consider the possibility that John Roberts was threatened by the regime for his vote than you're underestimating the putrid STANK of this regime. The state-run news media almost SINGLE-HANDEDLY STOLE this election from Romney. You think Morsi waiting until AFTER our election (and his meeting with Hillary in Gaza) to proclaim himself DICTATOR was a coincidence? See how THEFT of an election can occur by conspiracy on multiple fronts?.. I can give you more examples, if need be, like the one state that mysteriously withheld it's job numbers before the election, or Lockheed agreeing to violate the WARN Act with it's 'to be laid off' employees to assist in an 0bama win in exchange for more government contracts.. BLAH.. BLAH.. BLAH... The putrid STANK; total disregard of ethics, dignity, honor and TRUTH in the news media STOLE this election from Romney. Make NO mistake about it.
Beck was the most popular show they had, and they canned him? Oh well, their loss, his gain.
They will never have a Levin or Ingraham show, not in OUR best interest you know/s. Too much TRUTH to digest all at one time. We need pablum, rewarmed and spoon fed every day.
Not sure I know her, what does she do, when is she on? I don’t watch much fox anymore, early morning to see whats new and that’s it.
Even then he must be muted.
Never seen anyone slobber over Zero the way he does, sickening and a bold face liar same as Combs (spelled intentially wrong)
Yes. I believe that exposure to more than a few seconds of Juan Williams “thinking” probably causes the person watching to lose IQ points.
Who cares?
You want FOX to do it. Why don't you do it?
It is so old and so tiresome - all these rants and frothing of the mouth about voter fraud and all many people offer are lame anecdotes.
My point is unless you are willing to do something about it, then don't waste my time with venting. It accomplishes nothing.
Focus on current issues and future issues. Thank you.
Maybe we shouldn’t declare winners or at least concede until all votes are counted.
You can fool yourself as many times as you want (Aikin and Murd...whatever his name is) but voters will not bite and vote for candidates they think are dumb or discredited.
A good candidate will take steps to make themselves credible to the voting public; bad ones won't.
That is politics 101 - plain and simple.
Deny it all you want, but it was proven in 2010 and again in 2012. Bad candidates don't win elections even when voters agree with their views. I am sure Missouri voters as a whole are more pro life than pro choice, but they won't vote for a candidate they think is dumb.
What you are describing, respectfully OISA, are tactics that were employed effectively by the left, but you are not describing vote fraud.
The result of those effectively employed tactics did result in a democrat win, but what also played a hand in that win is the staggering inability of the GOP or any of its candidates outside of perhaps Cruz to successfully counter those tactics.
Furthermore, those same tactics will be employed again after further refining to even greater effect, especially considering that the GOP now thinks it lost because Romney was “too conservative”...
OISA, I know of no other way to say this than saying the GOP is a bunch of ****ing n00bs. For real. They do not know anything about politics, they cannot read political tea leaves, they do not know which way the wind is blowing, they stand for nothing, they do not like conservatives, they are without a doubt the single biggest collection of losers that I have ever seen in my entire life, and they are going to continue to lose until they are all gone.
YOU do not know there was not massive fraud! More people openly said they were not voting for him again. The maggots overplayed their hand. There was massive fraud!
Nor the bogus BC! Who says they are fair and balanced? As they seek who they can castrate for speaking what they believe.
