Fox News anchor Sean Hannity is calling a staff-wide meeting for everyone who works on his television show, according to people close to his show.

Fox News star Sean Hannity is looking to leave the network and may be out by the end of the week, according to a Daily Beast report. Hannity was a long-time ally of Fox News co-president Bill Shine, who resigned from the network Monday morning. Hannity defended Shine on Twitter as the executive came under scrutiny for his role in Fox’s sexual harassment controversy since Roger Ailes’ departure from the network last summer. In a series of tweets last week, Hannity said that Shine’s departure would be “the total end of the FNC as we know it,” and used the...

Fox News Channel said Monday that co-president Bill Shine is out, the latest high-level departure at a network beset with charges of harassment and discrimination that have already claimed founding CEO Roger Ailes, leading personality Bill O'Reilly and a top financial executive. Shine was not accused of any direct wrongdoing.

His leadership experience learned at...

I suppose that this was probably pretty inevitable. Lt. Col. Ralph Peters has been suspended by FoxNews for two weeks after calling Obama a "p***y" on air last night, as he can be seen doing here, with video from our own Caleb Howe: [VIDEO] I do not know Lt. Col. Ralph Peters. In fact, until this morning I had literally never heard of him. However, I find it hilarious to imagine how a military man so crusty that he called the President of the United States a "p***y" live on air probably reacted to the news when it was handed...

Fox has suspended commenters Stacey Dash and Ralph Peters for two weeks after two separate instances of on-air profanity while criticizing President Obama. Peters referred to the president as a common slang for female anatomy when he appeared on Fox Business Network on Monday morning. His comments were not "bleeped," although Peters was reprimanded on-air by host Stuart Varney. Peters then apologized for his prior language. Later on Monday, Dash said that Obama "doesn't give a s--t" about terrorism during the show Outnumbered. Dash's comments were partially censored.

"This guy is such a total pussy, it's stunning." Fox News contributor Ralph Peters, has taken the anti-Obama rhetoric one step way too far. "Look, Mr. President we're not afraid, we're angry, we're pissed off, we're furious!" Peters, a regular Fox commentator and military analyst, said when asked for his reaction to the address on Monday. "We want you to react, we want you to do something!" The wildly offensive remark was even too much for host Stuart Varney, who finally interrupted Peters to say that while he may be "very angry," he "can't use language like that on the...
