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, Im 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.
I think she’s a never-Trumper.
Thats the real answer. Another blonde is waiting in the wings thats younger and hotter
Wish theyd Wallace, Jaun and Judge Nappy too
Wish theyd CAN Wallace, Jaun and Judge Nappy too
I like her. She does a good job on Fox Business.
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
Amen.
My bet is because they want socialists doing their biz reporting.
I am curious if Paul Ryan instructed @MelissaAFrancis to lol at the Bidens remark about urine. Barfs sarcasm is getting really old. Very difficult to watch @FoxNews destroy itself. I guess its been a good ride. After all yall 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

How long before Lou Dobbs, Charles Payne and EMac are fired?
On a internet search using Duck Duck Go search engine.
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.
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 didnt 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.
Thats 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 shes being fired for exposing the gender pay differences, I will be pissed. She was a talent
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!
