Fox Business Ditches Trish Regan After Coronavirus 'Impeachment Scam' Rant

Source: thedailybeast.com

Fox Business Network announced on Friday that it has officially “parted ways” with anchor Trish Regan following her controversial rant against what she called the “coronavirus impeachment scam” earlier this month.

Regan was previously placed on an indefinite hiatus after she delivered a surreal monologue on Monday, March 9th in which she accused Democrats and the media of perpetuating a coronavirus hoax.

With the words “Coronavirus Impeachment Scam” on the screen next to her, Regan told viewers, “We've reached a tipping point. The chorus of hate being leveled at the president is nearing a crescendo as Democrats blame him and only him for a virus that originated halfway around the world. This is yet another attempt to impeach the president.”

Dropped it pretty fast, too. We've got X1 and have nearly everything but the naked channels & foreign language content.
It was there. Then it was gone.
They're carrying Newsy now, which is a very straight, no-frills news delivery outlet.

What I find shocking is that Pox Business apparently has standards. They're both low and belated, but they're standards.

They are all "eye candy".

... so, her whole segment/show/crap party had to be passed by and approved by at least one producer ...

... including the graphics ...

... this is just Fox getting out of a pretty stupid hole because obviously they had tremendous backlash ...

... and/or their lawyers were going, "YIKES!" ...

if they weren't revealing a paranoid, visceral hatred of Democrats. Or maybe she's just off the rails mentally.

You'd think her career is over, but she's a candidate for right wing hate radio

I'll bet a launch by May 30

Huh? Nearing a crescendo? So....like, the crescendo hasn't happened yet? Meaning the chorus of hate hasn't gotten any louder yet?
