Fox News Fires Trey Gowdy

Fox News has decided to cut ties with former Republican congressman Trey Gowdy, the timing is rather strange however. As The Daily Caller reports:

Fox News announced Wednesday that the former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy has been “terminated” by the network.

Gowdy’s firing comes after he reportedly agreed to help the White House fight a Democrat led impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump. Fox originally hired the former representative as an on-air contributor back in January.

The former South Carolina representative rose to fame as chairman of the House oversight committee. During his tenure, he led investigations into the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks in Libya, and supported other inquiries into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Gowdy decided to not run for reelection in the 2018 midterms after serving 8 years in the House.

With an internal battle currently raging within Fox News itself between those who are for and against President Trump we can only speculate on the significance of Gowdy’s departure.

I guess Fox News is not worth watching any more. Any one with a different opinion is fired. I wanted to watch someone that was saying the democrat line I would watch CNN. No way.
It’s too bad you dont have any backbone.

We watch NewsMax now. They’re great, and they now have Rob Schmitt doing his own show called Wake Up America. He was smart enough to leave Fox a few months ago.

Welcome to the pack. Me and a few hundred of my friends and family stopped watching Fox News garbage months ago. Too liberal. Owned by all liberal people anyway. What would you expect? Started watching children’s Cartoon Network instead.

OK, so you don’t like Donald Trump’s personality.
So, you mean you like Pelosi, Schumer, Shitt, AOC, etc and etc and
the Democratic Party’s headlong lean to the Left?
You mean that will be good for the Country?
Wake up!!!!

Goody has always been informative and knowledgeable…guess those are poor reasons to keep him around. Just curious, were Ryan and Wallace the reasons he was let go?

There’s the news channel called “Newsy”. They are honest and are real classy. See if you can get them from your cable provider.

I still watch FOX in the evenings between 8pm and Midnight. They still have Tucker. Hannity and Laura. That makes FOX worth watching. But not during daytime, except for FOX & Friends and Outnumbered which are very good and informative. CNN and MSNBC are trash, around the clock.

I really have no sympathy for gowdy, in the investigations he handle while in Congress and after all the pats on his back, HOW MANY people lost their jobs because of him, I don’t recall anyone going to jail. When is the two level justice system going to end ?

And they keep Donna Brazil and Juan Williams. Maybe is it time for Hannity, Tucker, Ingram, Levin n,Perrio and Dodds to move to Newsmax. There are too many of us that feel like what President Trump said last night that was upset at Fox News.

Martin, you hit the nail on the head with that one. I for the life of me can not figure out why on earth Donna Brazil would have any credibility with anyone after helping crooked Hillary slipping her questions during the 2016 debates ! And as far as Juan goes , he has his head so far up his ass it’s not funny ! I know the network is trying too get the viewpoint from both sides ( or at least use too ) , but Juan is so far left , it makes me ill listening to him.
