In the recently
completed election campaign those who watched Fox News (a wholly owned
subsidiary of both the News Corporation and the Republican Party) viewers were
entertained by former Clinton
adviser Dick Morris and by former Bush adviser Karl Rove.
Morris famously predicted not just a Romney victory, but a
Romney landslide. He later explained he
was just trying to “buck up” the Republican party, forgetting, if he every knew
it, that while its okay to be a Republican lackey on Fox News you are not
supposed to admit it. Rove famously
quarreled with Fox News election analysts who correctly called Ohio for Mr. Obama while
Mr. Rove pontificated about how he knew better.
Now comes this bit of
cheerful holiday news.
Report: Fox News benches Rove, Morris
Yet another Fox News scoop from New York's Gabe Sherman:
According to multiple Fox sources, Ailes has a directive to his staff: He wants the faces associated with the election off the air — for now. For Karl Rove and Dick Morris — a pair of pundits perhaps most closely aligned with Fox’s anti-Obama campaign — Ailes’s orders mean new rules. Ailes’s deputy, Fox News programming chief Bill Shine, has sent out orders to producers mandating that producers must get permission before booking Rove or Morris.
