It’s worth noting, as symbolic of the Fox News mission to shield the President from criticism, that Trish Regan, last seen authoring a rant claiming the COVID-19 pandemic was nothing more than a hoax concocted to damage the President’s credibility, has “parted ways” with Fox Business Network:
The Fox Business Network announced on Friday that it had parted ways with Trish Regan, the conservative news host who ignited controversy earlier this month when she dismissed the coronavirus pandemic as a conspiracy to throw President Trump out of office.
“We thank her for her contributions to the network over the years and wish her continued success in her future endeavors,” the network said in a statement to CNN Business. “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.”
The news of her departure was first reported by NBC News.
Regan faced fierce criticism earlier this month when she described the coronavirus to her viewers as an “impeachment scam.”
Regan claimed “many in the liberal media” were using the pandemic “in an attempt to demonize and destroy” Trump.
Regan appears to have become a burden to the Trump reelection effort, as her rant made her directly representative of Trump’s minimizing view of the COVID-19 pandemic, right up until he turned turtle and claimed he had seen it as a pandemic a month earlier, before almost anyone else. By dumping her, they can diminish the shadow she throws across the campaign, continue to refuse to acknowledge Trump was in denial and delayed starting up the emergency programs necessary to maximize survival odds.
Yes, that does mean lie right into the mouth of God, if necessary.
But this is what happens when you no longer benefit Trump. Right under the wheels, thump-thud-thump.
