Times are changing fast at Fox News now that a court has affirmed that they are staffed by shameless liars. On Tuesday the right-wing propaganda network agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems for a whopping 3\/4 of a billion dollars. And on Thursday they fired their ultra-bombastic, Trump-fluffing, weekend ranter, Dan Bongino.<\/p>\n

According to Bongino, his termination by Fox News had nothing to do with the defamation lawsuit settlement. He says that it was merely an inability for the two sides to come to an agreement on his contract renewal. However, given his past performance, and the damage done to Fox’s already reprehensible reputation, it’s difficult to completely separate the two events.<\/p>\n

Bongino has been a staunch defender of Trump throughout the former reality TV game show host’s occupation of the White House and beyond. Trump could do no wrong in Bongino’s eyes, whether it was his two impeachments, his sexual harassment, his deadly COVID mismanagement, his disastrous economic policies, or his theft and hoarding of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Bongino stayed by Trump’s side. So now it is, in Bongino’s words, “a sad day,”<\/em> as he reveals that last week’s program was his final one for Fox News. Forbes Reports that<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“Fox News has ended its relationship with Dan Bongino […] Bongino said on his podcast Thursday…’It\u2019s tough. It\u2019s tough to say that. You know, I\u2019ve been there doing hits and working there for ten years…so the show ending was tough. And I want you to know it\u2019s not some big conspiracy. I promise you. There\u2019s no acrimony. This wasn\u2019t some WWE brawl that happened. We just couldn\u2019t come to terms on an extension.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The timing, however, is curious. While Bongino wasn’t among the named defendants in the lawsuits against Fox News (such as Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo), he was a frequent source of flagrantly false commentaries<\/a><\/strong>, including several asserting that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged and stolen”<\/em> from Trump.<\/p>\n

In one case he hosted an interview of Trump wherein Trump delivered his tedious complaints about election fraud. Subsequently, the clip that Fox later posted online had cut out those remarks. When told about the editing, Bongino was outraged and pledged to get to the bottom of it<\/a><\/strong>. He never did.<\/p>\n

Being canceled by Fox News was surely “tough”<\/em> for Bongino, Especially since his other pursuits are also collapsing. He was a principle owner of the conservative, crackpots-only Twitter clone, Parler. But just last week It’s new owner announced that they are shutting it down. Variety reports that<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

“Parler, the self-described \u201cuncancelable free-speech social platform\u201d that catered to right-wing users \u2014 which was nearly acquired by Kanye West last year<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 has been shut down by its new owner.<\/p>\n

\u201c’No reasonable person believes that a Twitter clone just for conservatives is a viable business any more,’ Arlington, Va.-based digital media company Starboard said in announcing Friday that it had acquired Parler.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bongino will likely find a new home on some other wingnut media outlet. Perhaps Newsmax or One American News (OAN). In the meantime he still has his podcast, and a considerable flock of sheeple following him online.<\/p>\n

As for Fox News, they will probably fill his timeslot with an even more radically right-wing shouter. The real question is: Who will be shoved out the door next? Maria Bartiromo’s future is likely hanging by a thread. And Fox president, Suzanne Scott, could not be sleeping well in the wake of the Dominion settlement.<\/p>\n

Whatever changes Fox makes will probably be stretched out over time so as to make them appear to be unrelated to the Dominion matter. But it is typical of Rupert Murdoch to make others pay for his failures. So expect more contract “disputes”<\/em> to be announced in the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n
