I only bring her up to call out selective outrage. And this is another prime example.
And her very next sentence was we need leadership that is diverse. When that diversity includes non-whites logic dictates that not only white people should lead. How is that racist or offensive or anything but common sense? Unless you demand white people be in charge, I guess. That would racist. And not at all selective. Just flat out.

Capitalism baby. Pure Capitalism!

Jeanine Pirro is one of the better commentators on Fox News.
One could argue that wearing a hijab is free speech.

Nice try, though.

As for the Old Testament, it is the history of the Hebrews, not Christianity. The New Testament is the story of the birth, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ; as well as the travels, travails, and teachings of His disciples and the final prophesies of John.
God changed his mind about the 10 commandments and all that?

How is Fox squelching free speech by taking a paid commentator off the air again?

Actually, the old testament did have a recipe for an abortion of an unfaithful wife.

But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[b] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.
Numbers 5:11-31

Unless there is more news out there it says she was suspended and this weeks show did not air. She might get fired but my guess is she may not.

I don't watch her and rarely watch fox news or the other cable news channels but I really don't see the big deal here.

If you are only watching or reading that which provides confirmation bias then you are not informed.
Because I have seen outrageous clips of the crap they say on-line and heard their crazy clips on podcasts. I don't have to tune in - I hear enough clips through the grapevines to know what pure crap they are serving. And like the other person responded, I do not trust cable news - not CNN, not MSNBC and certainly not FOX.
