Such horse shite. Harf and Francis both should be fricking fired and Harris reprimanded for not stepping in to allow Newt to finish his point.

Honestly, Harris did say she was trying to give Newt the last word and then Newt didn’t say anything. Not sure if he disconnected the feed or what, but I think Harris handled it okay. She was caught off guard. Only thing she mighta done different would’ve been to over talk her colleagues, but definitely not reprimand worthy.

There was still a little fire on the show today....guessing yesterday is still bitter for a few of them

There was no rant by Newt Gingrich. He was stating the facts. And they were not having it. So now they are covering their tracks.

She didn’t apologize. She said they had a little incident. They need to invite Newt back next week and allow him to talk about Soros for as long as he wants!

I turned it on Martha MacCallum last night and they had some soy boy Biden guy on so I changed it. Went back 20 minutes later and she had Buttigeg on. Nobody wants to watch those people.


I'm going to take a major chance and assume Mayor Pete was saying that Trump is a horrible human being unlike demented Joe.

I think that misses the bigger point. Newt getting cut off, while unprofessional, really isn't a big deal.

Newt being told he can't talk about George Soros, presumably because they want to protect Soros is the story. Focusing on whether Newt got the last word really misses the point.

I've yet to see the actual apology. If it was a " we're sorry if anyone was offended " type of nonsense, then go on to explain that freedom of expression is something they value over at FOX, that's a lie. It's not an apology.

Harf can go suck on a rotten egg.

Cut the cord now. Your cable bills are funding way more left wing media companies than Fox anyway. With the internet you don’t need cable news. It’s toxic and messing with your brain

We were talking about the point in time of why the poster thought Harris should be reprimanded.

She made it clear in the apology that it was wrong to censor. That wasnt the point of my post. We know that Soros should be fair game and so does Fox. Harris should not be reprimanded.

Did you read what I put in the post? I guess you did and you are answering the question for most of the rest of the responders. Because man I cut that cord a while ago and I feel great. I simply will not listen to opinions from anyone. At the risk of being repetitive, I don't need to be told what to think, I don't need to be prodded nor do I need to be worked up by TV personalities. Most all the rest of you don't either. We can get the flavor of the day on this forum.

But Newt got to slam Soros and she did not interrupt. I heard it in the clip and Mewt did a good job. Newt was silent for 2-3 seconds before she chimed in.

Indeed.
Obviously thedailybeast is what it is.
But it was the only source I found at the time with a link to the Faulkner "apology".

Really perplexing that Fox skewers the President with cavuto, wallace, these broads, the weekend crew. But George Soros, that has bankrupted countries. promotes racial strife and riots is a "philanthropist" off-limits to criticism.
