The media is all just fucking complicit in the same bullshit.

We know the numbers are not accurate. We know about 5000 are pending. We know several hundreds have been removed and added and removed over the past few days.

Considering that this is the Daily Beast that reported it first, I would hold off on this, till we get official sources confirming if this is true or not.

I doubt it was for questioning the official numbers.

From the Daily Beast article:

A day after Diamond and Silk’s last Fox Nation episode was posted online, Twitter removed a post from the pro-Trump sisters calling for people to expose themselves to the virus that has now killed more than 55,000 Americans. “The only way we can become immune to the environment; we must be out in the environment,” the since-deleted tweet read. “Quarantining people inside of their houses for extended periods will make people sick!”

they also openly wondered whether 5G technology was being used to infect people with coronavirus in an effort to fill “empty” hospitals, suggesting that the “deep state snakes” were building towers in certain areas to “turn things on and off to make sure that certain things go down so those hospital beds can be filled?”

Fox is positioning itself as a reliable and responsible source for information about the pandemic. This has included full coverage of President Trump's press briefings. This is a reasonable business decision, intended to draw in new advertisers and new viewers ahead of the election homestretch. Fox "personalities" who refuse to get with the program shouldn't be surprised if they get de-Foxed. Most employers operate this way -- you do what the employer asks you to do, or you don't work there any more.

Diamond and Silk are fun, but their shtick does get a bit repetitive and probably wasn't drawing as many viewers as it used to. I'm sure it was an easy decision for Fox.

That is completely horrifying. No question it was done at Dana Perino's high-pressure request (Perino believes Brazile is her "friend", for reasons no sane person can fathom), and they're probably scared of pissing off Perino since she's a key part of the super-high rated The Five.

But yeah, no excuse for that. If I have Fox on and even hear a mention that Brazile is coming on shortly, I change to OAN and usually don't change back again that day, no matter what's on Fox News or Fox Business (Brazile has been dragged around both channels, with all hosts except Perino obviously having her on under duress and holding their noses).

Why don't we wait until we hear from the ladies themselves on this subject?

Well, they've so far declined to comment on the matter, and I suspect they may continue to do so.

Well then lets wait and see when they do. Its better to get the truth from them then the MSM.

We have no reason to think they'll ever comment on it. Probably was a restriction in their contract, that they agreed to, and that survives the termination of the contract. That's pretty standard. Have you heard Shep Smith talking about his departure? or Trish Regan? or anybody else who's left Fox under less than amicable circumstances?

Last I checked, Shep told us he was leaving and why.

And again, Like I have shown, its been proven that the DB has not been truthful on these things. So lets wait until we get an official word here, like from the ladies themselves.

Hannity, Jesse Watters, The Fox and Friends team. Judge Jeanine. Greg Gutfeld, and a good more, with all of their contributors on the conservative side. The MSM don't have any conservative contributors as far as I know.

The Left has finally been right about one thing. It truly is Faux News at this point. It was good while it lasted. The two soy boy sons of Roger have ruined his legacy. It is sad to see.
