During a Newsmax panel discussion on Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch stepping down, *Schlapp wove a far-fetched narrative that his particular brand of MAGA conservatism had become unwelcome in recent years because Murdoch had steered the conservative cable giant to the left.* This is really amazing news. Fox News has played a critical role in championing conservative causes for a very long time, he noted. *I was on Fox practically every day for years and years and years.* *He continued: And then something happened in the country: the BLM riots happened, the virus happened, and then this crazy presidential election with all this voter fraud happened.* And Fox seemed to want to be at war with its viewers and people who have opinions and voices like me.[It] became a less hospitable place. Noting that Murdochs son Lachlan has been tapped to take over the media empire, Schlapp wondered if the new chairman would recapture the spirit of the early years of Fox or *if the network is going to continue down the woke road.* In the embattled right-wing activists telling, this wokeness included firing primetime host Tucker Carlson and getting rid of conservative voices like himself. *Unsaid in Schlapps mini-rant, though, was the real reason why he is no longer booked on Fox News.* The chief organizer of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has been relegated to Newsmax and other fringe right-wing media after *he was accused in January of aggressively fondling the crotch of former Herschel Walker staffer Carlton Huffman. Calling Schlapp a sexual predator,* Huffman later sued the conservative icon over his repeated unsolicited and undesired advances, as well as his attempts to impugn Huffmans character. While Schlapp has vehemently denied the GOP operatives accusation, The Daily Beast reported last month that the CPAC chief made an offer to settle with Huffman, only to be rebuffed. Furthermore, the ACU has been informed about additional allegations of sexual misconduct against Schlapp, prompting a senior board member to resign and call for an investigation into the incidents. On top of that, other officials have also quit over concerns that Schlapp used the group to fund his sexual assault lawsuit. *Following the allegations, Schlapp has essentially been barred from Fox News airwaves.* Neither he nor his wife Mercedes, a former Fox News contributor and Trump administration official, have appeared on the network since January. Besides shutting out the Schlapps, Fox News all but ignored this years CPAC, despite the symbiotic relationship the confab enjoyed with the right-wing network in years past. --- Putin delenda est <cite>brestugo posted [p:976255150] in Accused gr...

darkace77450 09/23/23 11:53:09 AM #13:	This is almost as dumb as Eric Bolling, who has a show on Newsmax's prime time lineup, claiming he and Bill O'Reilly were fired by Fox News because they're a liberal network that didn't want to platform conservative voices. Anyone who knows anything about Fox News knows Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Greg Gutfeld, Mark Levin, Brian Kilmeade, Jeanine Pirro, and a host of other conservative voices are very prominently featured on the network.
