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.

Next time I say something that should get me fired, I’m going to just say, I was channeling Trump. (Or that I have vodka in my water bottle.) Either works, right?— Melissa Francis (@MelissaAFrancis) September 15, 2020

That is exactly my observation about her. I always thought of her as being liberal leaning. So, I won’t miss her.

Its a shame, apparently she was b*tching for more money. I really liked her, think the last straw was when she told Newt to stop talking about Soros, turns out her hubby works for a business that has connections to Soros

They fired the wrong person. Harf has got to go.

I am curious if Paul Ryan instructed @MelissaAFrancis to lol at the Biden’s remark about urine. Barf’s sarcasm is getting really old. Very difficult to watch @FoxNews destroy itself. I guess it’s been a good ride. After all y’all did seem to get new sets.— owenfarm53 (@owenfarm53) September 28, 2020

@HarfMaria @HARRISFAULKNER @MelissaAFrancis @SpeakerRyan more fans of your unwatchable show #outnumbered https://t.co/IAxH3qtSJU— Ken Again 2 (@KenAgain21) September 28, 2020

I’ve always thought a network goal was to provide watchable content. Harf on FOX off.

No it was Francis who shut down Newt from off camera, not Harris. Faulkner was shocked and didn’t know what to say and she actually apologized the next day.

She was the one who cut Newt Gingrich off when he mentioned George Soros.

Newt Gingrich is cut off on Fox News for speaking about George Soros

What about Chris Wallace? Did they send the termination notice to the wrong dressing room?

“She didn’t defend Soros.

She was told, likely as a condition of employment, to not discuss Soros.

She did what she was directed to do and shut down the discussion.

That’s not a defense.”
*******************************************************
Actually, it is a defense... and a good one. Her “producer” was likely screaming into her earpiece to cease that line of conversation immediately. Melissa Francis is one of the good ones at Fox News Channel.

I do have a problem with that. She was “trained” but
Michael Landon ” concerning The business. If she’s being fired for exposing the gender pay differences, I will be pissed. She was a talent

“Not a chance.
The fact that she made some sort of gender discrimination
complaints regarding her pay vs a male’s pay is the most
likely reason for her firing”

Really? in this day and age she is nearly guaranteed a major settlement for gender pay discrimination. No way, there is more to the story. She will land on her feet at CNN / MSNBC

I thought it was Harris Faulkner that did that? Gosh, I’ve been thinking that for two weeks!
