Fox News drops Dick Morris

2/5/13

Fox News has decided not to renew its contract with political commentator and pollster Dick Morris, an industry official tells POLITICO's Mike Allen.

Morris, who was on contract with Fox News throughout the 2012 presidential campaign, had not appeared on the network for almost three months after Fox News president Roger Ailes decided to keep him off the network. He is scheduled to appear on CNN on Wednesday.

Morris served as an adviser to President Bill Clinton but later became one of the Clintons' staunchest critics. He was an adamant supporter of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney during the 2012 elections, and frequently predicted that Romney would beat President Obama in a landslide.

Don't they & CBS pay any attention at all to viewer demographics? They might be thinking bagger $ now, but the Koch crooks, Armey, and the whole rotten, festering lot of them will be residing in the Ninth Circle of Hell soon enough, and then they'll be up Shit Creek without a paddle.

A gal can dream, can't she?

of warmongering, out of touch, lying, psychopaths to spread their bullshit after pretty much every one of their commentators had egg on their face after the last election.

Their ratings are plummeting. Their pundits are getting kicked off left and right. The demographics of the nation are changing, and the Repuke Party has a serious image problem. Yes, it's not a happy time at Faux, which of course, translates into happy times for the whole planet!

And stops treating Frank Luntz as if he were the Delphic Oracle, THEN we'll know they're on their way to somewhere other than where they've been since their inception.

Otherwise, they're just changing tires, as far as I'm concerned.
