Fox doesn't care about "...Loony Lefists and Twitter bots who don't watch ..." They care about their advertisers.

How about recount for us the number of terrorist attacks perpetrated in the name of atheism or agnosticism.
A link would be helpful.

People tune into opinion shows to hear the opinion of the host and they should be allowed to give that opinion just like the other networks do.
It has nothing to do with left or right, and everything to do with selling advertising. When the advertisers leave, the shows are taken off the air. Simple economics in the free market.

MOST businesses do not wish to have their brands associated with racism and misogyny.

Judge Janine states her opinion and she's suspended.


So much for free speech
Neither DiNiro nor Pirro has been shut up.

Pirro has a following, I'm sure that if she wants to, she can find a platform and all her followers will continue to - enjoy? - her pronouncements.

Amazes me how many people don't understand that free speech just means that you can say what you want, not that your speech is free of consequences.

I guess that leaves the leftists and the easily influenced. Maybe that's why they watch it all the time.


Maybe that's why we get as many topics about FOX as we do about Trump's "impending impeachment" each week.
Trump watches fox news!

Yes, but their advertisers DO care about us.

I have no problem with this. You can not run a network, and condemn the antisemitic comments of Rep. Ilhan Omar, and then ignore comments such as these which speak against another religion, such as Islam. Well, at least you shouldn't do that. Plenty of networks out there have allowed their reporters/commentators to get away with some extremely offensive, egregious, and outright hateful comments without making the offending parties pay any price. It's nice to see Fox News taking a stand and not falling into the same reckless behavior many other news agencies seem to embrace.

PS. A temporary suspension is all that is warranted in this situation. I've never watched her show, but I read the comment. She does not deserve to lose her spot over that comment.

Regarding her comments. There are Christians who think if you are not swearing on a Christian bible it does not count, say for existence if you are atheist like I am. I have heard comments here and in the real world claiming I can't be trusted like a Christian because I am not "god fearing." Its backwards thinking but ignorance does not offend me. But Muslims are a protected class in this country. Atheists are not.
Just for the heck of it, I looked it up.

Jeanine Pirro will turn 68 in June.

Judge Judy will turn 77 in October.
