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.

She was the one who rudely shut off Gingrich for talking about Soros

And that’s the last time I watched After The Bell. Hardly ever watched Outnumbered.......Rush comes first and that was on in his first hour....:)......I liked her and remember her from Little House on the Prairie all those years ago. What a disappointment when she ran interference for Satan’s Spawn over Mr. Newt......

Unfortunately for her all the adult characters from Little House on the Prairie are dead, so there will be no reboots of that series.

Yep, Francis was Michael Landon’s (Charles Engles) adopted Daughter on the last two years of the show.


Not all...

Melissa Gilbert was Michael Landon’s daughter on the show.

multiple reports out there similar to:

Melissa Francis, a regular on the Fox News talk show Outnumbered and co-anchor of Fox Business’ After the Bell, has not been on the network since October 7 and her future is uncertain.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Francis is in the middle of a gender-based pay discrimination claim against the company that is in the midst of arbitration.

Yup.

While I’m on FOX all the time, it bugs me how they’re a) always making women dress skimpy and b) almost all of them are highly attractive blonde women.

Meanwhile men are in full suits.

It’s ridiculous.

In the old days women on the news dressed professionally, not like skimpy evening wear. They had suits that covered the shoulders (gasp!).

What is so wrong with that?

You know, we’re not all slobbering males in heat.

Nobody knows for sure why she was fired except her and Fox News.
She was a great business reporter and her opinions were usually very
conservative, don’t know what she was thinking in the Newt/Soros kerfufel.

Marie Barf.......I watched FoxBusiness after the debate last night because Brazile nut was on Fox and I don’t care for Cavuto but he did call Barf down when she called the President a liar...I appreciate that.

“She defended Soros”

I remember that. On Outnumbered when Newt was blaming something nefarious on Soros, Melissa and Marie Harf (I think) CUT HIM OFF. Harris Faulkner got a deer-in-the-headlights glare and joined in. It seemed that she was listening to the producer through her earphones.

But she was so cute when she was little! Landon called her “One take Melissa” because her lines were perfect on “Little House”.

Don’t get me started.......half of them look like sluts!! They wear short dresses and if one cries harrassment, they’re believed on the spot....

I never got the impression that she’s a Never-Trumper. Seemed pretty conservative in the 4:00 show. But I wasn’t an avid watcher so may have missed some things.

Come on, don’t blame them. I’m sure it’s FOX’s call and they just go along with it. Hence, any harassment claim could be very valid.
