Melissa Francis fired at Fox News…

Melissa Francis is off the air and her status at Fox News is in doubt

Melissa Francis, regularly seen on the popular Fox News midday talk show “Outnumbered,” has been off the air for two weeks and is probably at the end of her six-year run at the network, according to people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to comment and requested anonymity.

Francis, 47 has not been seen on the program since Oct. 7. A Fox News representative did not comment on her status, saying only that she is still an employee and its daytime programming is being revamped.

“Fox News Media regularly considers programming changes, including to its daytime lineup, and will launch new formats as appropriate after the election,” the representative said in a statement. “These changes are being made independent of any other ongoing matter.

Marie Harf weirdly also got a cameo on that. Like the communist in a business who has the final word on everything.

I never had a problem with her, but then again, I did not watch very much.

And in that interval Newt appeared confused as to why they were squelching his truthful comments on Soros funding the placement of attoneys general for states.

No, it wasn't a joke. Newt was speaking and she butted in and defended Soros.

So I could care less if she gets fired, but it wasn't for defending Soros.
She supposedly has a lawsuit saying men or paid more.

Her husband works for a Soros” company. That’s why she shut down Newt.

I was flipping through channels and happened to pause when I saw Newt. He was talking about Soros connection to DAs in riot areas. This chick said something along the order of I don’t think we should bring Soros into this-at least in a polite tone.

Newt said well, why not, it’s the truth and Marie Harf interrupted with a no nonsense tone and blunt and direct that such should not be happening—as if it was HER show.

Faulkner was clearly caught off guard. She said Mr. Speaker I was about to say we’ll let that be the last word (before these comments), but....

The next day she apologized sort of by saying that guests on the show should not have been interrupted. If anyone is to be fired— My opinion-it should be that creepy Marie Harf—I’m sure there’s a video somewhere showing the segment.

The other chick should not have interrupted either-no tears for her.

“ I never got the impression that she’s a Never-Trumper. Seemed pretty conservative in the 4:00 show.”

She’s been one of the most outspoken supporters of the President, on and off the air. Her Twitter feed reads like she works for the campaign.

That Soros thing was very odd, some here have suggested her husband has some kind of connection. Whatever happened, Faulkner was not happy at the negative backlash and was short with Francis in the following days.

Well, that explains a lot, about her neverTrumpness and $oros support.

Which company?

The rumor is that she wanted more money and they didn't want to give it to her.

I never heard of that Soros thing.

She must have been on FNC hundreds of hours and that one minute is what everybody remembers?

Here she is on Little House on the Prairie.

Yep. She was one of (at least) three cast members named Melissa (in real life).

She would not let Newt talk Soros and let Marie Harf talk over him. After that her credibility was in doubt.

The other shoe in the fnc comment about Melissa Francis standing, which was a murky response, is changes comng to FNC after elections or new year. Could outnmbered be done and if she was on FBN is that show ending too?

I use to enjoy the show...OUTNUMBERED...

no longer bother watching it, and that is because I can’t stand that fake blond Marie, from the Hillary Dept of State and Jessica gets on my last nerve...

so Harris lost my viewing time at noon and 1 pm...
FOX NEWS IS NOT WHAT IT USE TO BE, AND WE VIEWERS MADE THEM #1 AND WE CAN ‘UNDO’ THAT AS WELL..

Per Reuters

“Fact check: Two Sigma is not owned by George Soros
https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN26F2DU

Thousands of social media users are sharing posts that claim Fox News and Fox Business Network anchor Melissa Francis silenced former Republican House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich, when he was talking on air about George Soros because Francis’ husband works for a company linked to Two Sigma, allegedly owned by Soros. This claim is false. Although Francis said, “I’m not sure we need to bring George Soros into this,” filings with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from May 2020 show that George Soros does not own stakes in Two Sigma Investments.

FBN should use David Asman in the After the Bell slot.

Get rid of the pencil neck, Adam SChiff wanna be...Connell McShane. What an annoying twerp.

I usually record the entire daytime FBN from Varney to Evening Edit. Skipping through Cavuto of course because POTUS sometimes appears and I can’t miss that.
Well, I became disgusted with McShane and removed After the Bell from the block.

If Asman takes over, I shall reinstall ATB. I like David.
