Fox News Is Not Interested In Hiring Steve Bannon

By Caitlin MacNeal | January 10, 2018 9:34 am

Shortly after Steve Bannon became a free agent, Fox News quickly shot down any notion that he would join the network.

“Fox News will not be hiring Steve Bannon,” a Fox News Channel spokesperson said in a statement first reported by The Wrap on Tuesday, and sent to TPM Wednesday.

Breitbart News announced on Tuesday that Bannon would step down as the conservative outlet’s executive chairman and would leave his radio program affiliated with Breitbart.

His departure from Breitbart is the latest shoe to drop following the publication of Michael Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury.” Bannon spoke to Wolff for the book and called the meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Kremlin-linked lawyer “treasonous.” He tried to walk back his comments over the weekend, insisting that he was criticizing Paul Manafort, not Donald Trump Jr., but it was apparently too late to save face.

in Men in Black. You cannot get high ratings making people routinely look at that.

Haggling the hygiene clause in his contract might be a nightmare.

Greeter at Wal-Mart? Don’t know if they would want the bad press. Democrats despise him, now Republicans do too. He is like a stateless person or a political bag lady. I’d feel sorry for him if he wasn’t such a son of a bitch.
The guy was writing executive orders and shoving them under Trump’s nose to sign a short time ago. He was the de facto President. Now, even Fox won’t take him. I don’t know if an ego or a liver can survive a fall like that.

his address will be at some homeless shelter somewhere. I can't imagine anyone hiring him for anything, really.

Remember he got in on the ground floor of "Seinfeld". I think he's sold his interest in it.

This human hand grenade will continue to try to cling to that moment when everything stopped and all eyes were on him. Well, Bannon's gone off, inflicted his damage, and now his time is done, like Milo Yappyface (or whatever his name is, I don't care).

You were a human K-Cup, Steve. One time use. You're done.
