REPORT: Fox News Is Taking Karl Rove Off The Air (Over election night meltdown)
Business Insider ^ | 12/04/2012 | Grace Wyler

Posted on 12/04/2012 4:57:34 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Karl RoveNew York's Gabriel Sherman reports that Fox News is scaling back airtime for Republican pundit Karl Rove, in what appears to be a reprimand for Rove's meltdown during the network's live election broadcast. 

Sources told Sherman that Fox News chief Roger Ailes has ordered his staff to bench Rove and his fellow GOP pundit Dick Morris, two of the network's most vocal partisan voices whose predictions turned out to be spectacularly wrong. According to Sherman, producers must now get permission before booking Rove or Morris on Fox shows. 

The move comes as Fox takes steps to rehab its image in the wake of Republican defeats this November. Rove, in particular, has been widely mocked by members of both parties, both for his onscreen tantrum and for the abysmal performance of his American Crossroads super PAC.

And hasn’t been right about much since then.

It’s almost like - when he took a turn to the right, he lost his talent

BUT, OBAMA’S GREAT FOR FOX’S RATINGS FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS, ISN’T IT...

Not here, I haven't watched FOX news for one second since election night. Also quit Hannity and Rush until/unless they go "Republican-e is less than worthless" full time.

Radio and network news are just liars rubbing our noses in their liberal filth. Not for me.

totally agree, it;s such a shame some on our side can;t understand that.

They had 4 years to prep for this election,hell they were finding bags of a thousand votes in a corner of a room here and denied the Col West.

I agree. How would you react to what is obvious Massive Voter Fraud on display? I am no Rove fan, but he shoe horned GWB into two terms as president against all odds and against all media. He knows his stuff and he knows something was wrong!

Megyn Kelly , you’re right, she;s like the ditzy girl with no common sense who thinks we want to know about her nana, her house underwater in VA or about her husband.

I caught about 5 minutes of her today and she was asking about these new taxes and the shick on her face about being taxed on stocks , investments was laughable.
She looked stunned and I thought serves you right.

She used to be good with Hemmer in the morning but her show makes her look like that school girl

do you consider it likely that a few million fewer voters went out and voted GOP?

No, because Romney has about a million more votes right now than McCain did.

They should have pulled him after what he did to Christine O’Donnell

And Sarah Palin, and Newt and...should I go on? Nasty nasty piece of... I am glad he is out. Just for the pleasure of seeing these nasty rinos finally get what they deserve after they have succeded to put down so many good conservatives.

Hope the door will hit you hard where it should..

It didn’t take massive voter fraud in every state, just democrat/communist controlled cities in key states.

Obama stole the election. Period.

Fraud? Sure.
Wouldn’t have been a problem if they hadn’t run a Leftist.

can;t stand them and never watch them but then again I hardly ever watch FOX now.

They can also replace the so called great American ARF Hannity and his liberal RINO pals.
He can never talk about social issues, what and how the homostapo are acting and forcing stores to close and how they have sex in public at their freak parades..

Get either Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham ETC.

They got rid of Beck , now I was not massive about him but he did inform us about the radical left, he caleld oabma’s henchmen and women out and he went after the commie black power turd.For what , a hosw caled the five with one idiot who thinks he is funny, another angry bitter, pro union all mouth tough guy Beckel, Hannitys pal, The elitist RINO who worked for Bush and nothing but legs for the other woman.
Only one guy is worth listening too but not enough for me to tune in.

Yeah I have to agree on those leaders wholeheartedly.

But yes, some fraud, I do not believe massive or even systematic fraud, but we’ll never know because no one in a postion of authority is going to investigate.

Frankly, I think the GOP lost because it ran against no one, stood for nothing, failed to mobilize or even inspire its base...the GOP lost because it sucks.

I’m no Rove fan, but he was correct if discussing a non fraudlent election. And of course, Fox or any other outlet will not openly discuss the rampant fraud.

Exactly.

I do not believe that he stole it. I do believe that there was some fraud.

I believe the GOP lost its base, and now it’s alienating what was left of it and stomping it into the dirt, and it is going to lose big time hardcore again very soon.

great great post.
I’m here in FL and since 2000 the Dem counties now always wait till all the other counties report in , even the panhandle which is an hour later.

They have done it every election because they wait to see how many votes they need and then suddenly produce just enough votes to win.

I’m tired ot trying to explain to even a couple of freepers that fraud was the issue.

2000 was re-counts in Dem counties thus leaving our republican county out.
They then wanted another count in their 3 counties and ignore over the 60 counties which go republican.
they learned that they need to keep nags of votes on stand by and boy they did.

During the Col West count bag of over a 1,000 votes were found in a corner after the election.

I know that there is no way he won this election.
even today I see about 9 Romey stickers to 1 obama sticker.
Days go by and I never see an obama sticker and yet see on average 5 stickers for Romney depending where I am in my states.

we can thank her pal Megyn Kelly for getting the homo activist, anti war, media matter stooge for her now working on FOX.

The woman thinks she is a guy and since kelly borught her on then Kelly can piss off too.

Infact Sally Kohn is worse than any of those who have been mentioned, she;s a soros stooge who worked to stop FOX from airing and now she works there

your last 6 words I totally agree but I;ll add cowards to the core.

People still have no where to live after Sandy and yet the GOP can;t even mention this, Libya has gone, fast and furious, death of a border agent, een now two more Mexicans have benecharged for murder for their act off the west coast and where is the GOP, F-IN NOWHERE.

We had facts, debt, spending, deaths, the list is endless and the GOP can;t mention obama for some reason, hell they can;t even mention social issues and the homostapo and the destruction of the family and those relying on handouts
