SaysWho? Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/03/fox-news-pulled-jeanine-pirros-show-after-her-islamophobic-comments-trump-wants-it-back-on/ Quote Pirro drew controversy last week after she suggested on the show that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) believed in Sharia law because she wore hijab, and that her beliefs put her at odds with the Constitution. Fox News condemned Pirro’s remarks, noting in a statement that her views “do not reflect those of the network.” On Saturday night, it re-ran an episode of a documentary series instead. The network has not commented on whether the show will air again next week. CNN reported Sunday morning that Pirro has been suspended, citing an anonymous source.

LazyPiranha Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I wonder if Disney buying Fox News has anything to do with this or if it will be the cause of any sort of change. As much as I'm sure Disney execs are died in the wool conservatives, I imagine they're also far, far more interested in raking in currency by the metric ton. Fox News has way fewer brands and audiences to isolate than Disney does. I really doubt it, but I in a world where I need to live with an absurd megacorp controlling something like 80% of entertainment media, I'd at least like the house of mouse to quietly but firmly shows these nutjobs the door.

TheBladeRoden Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Quote Fox News condemned Pirro’s remarks, noting in a statement that her views “do not reflect those of the network.” Let's dispel with this fiction that Fox News doesn't know what its doing. It knows exactly what its doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a Muslim, so of course she believes in some concept of Sharia. That's not the point, though. She's never advocated for it influencing US law. As far as I can tell, she's not indicated she believes in anything other than separation of church and state. Which is all that really matters, no matter what someone personally believes.
