FOX primetime host Trish Regan booted for Covid19 story
[Breitbart] Fox Business Network announced Friday that it has "parted ways" with primetime host Trish Regan, who abruptly left the airwaves after calling concerns about the Chinese coronavirus another attempt to impeach President Donald Trump.

"We thank her for her contributions to the network over the years and wish her continued success in her future endeavors," a Fox Business Network spokesperson said in a statement. "We will continue our reduced live primetime schedule for the foreseeable future in an effort to allocate staff resources to continuous breaking news coverage on the Coronavirus crisis."

"I have enjoyed my time at FOX and now intend to focus on my family during these troubled times," Regan said in a separate statement. "I am grateful to my incredible team at FOX Business and for the many opportunities the network has provided me. I’m looking forward to this next chapter in my career."

The development comes after Regan, during a March 9th monologue, broadcasted a graphic accusing the Democrat Party and the corporate media of carrying out a "Coronavirus Impeachment Scam."

"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," the host told viewers at the time. "This is yet another attempt to impeach the president."

"Many in the liberal media using, and I mean using, coronavirus in an attempt to demonize and destroy the president," she added.

Fox Business Network announced March 14 that both Regan’s and Lisa "Kennedy" Montgomery’s programs would go on "hiatus" in an effort to reallocate "resources from both shows for staffing needs during critical market hours" during the coronavirus pandemic.

"FBN has taken prudent steps to limit staffing levels and is prioritizing its coverage during market hours. I fully support this decision ‐ we all must to [sic] do our part to keep our colleagues safe," Regan tweeted of the move.

Regan is a former CNBC host and Bloomberg News reporter

#1 Can't figure this one out. Since Paul Ryan is on the Fox board of directors, deep shit state has prevailed.

Pete H. grew up 10 miles east of our cabin. Yesterday he's on a local station. Wanted to call in but they never take questions while the boy rings in. So frickin tired of the fake conserves.

#2 No worries, we still have Fox's Donna Brazile to give us the straight story.

#3 Not because she, and the rest of them, getting just a bit long in the tooth?

#4 If paragraphs 5 and 6 above are the heart of the matter, I don't see what the problem is. Every word of those two paragraphs is true and could not be more self-evident unless you are willfully blind and / or in denial. Doesn't sound like legit grounds for dismissal, does it?

Agree with Woodrow on that point - people wanted her out and use the crapweasel excuse of 'shifting corona virus coverage' to boot her, and canned Kennedy in the same swoop for the micron-thin veneer of believability. You know they both signed 7 figure NDA's on their way out the door so the truth their side of the story doesn't get out for a good, long time.

#6 These women are very tough, very smart and very popular with viewers. I've watched them and greatly admired them. They were a clear threat to the woman who is the President of FBN.

#7 /\ Agree Splat. I doubt any... 'non-woman' would have had anything to do with Regan's departure. I suspect Kimberly may have suffered a similar fate. No WOKE, too smart, too attractive, too threatening.

#8 I suspect the lady’s resumé is being perused at the White House personnel office right now...

Vox on her firing
Kimberly Guilfoyle allegedly left Fox News amid accusations of sexual misconduct. The former host of The Five, who’s dating Donald Trump Jr., may be joining a pro-Trump PAC.

#10 "...a virus that originated halfway around the world,"

I wonder how much saying *that* had to do with her departure.
