Fox News cuts Lara Trump, cites rules regarding the 2024 White House bid of father-in-law



https://www.bizpacreview.com/2022/12/04/fox-news-cuts-lara-trump-cites-rules-regarding-the-2024-white-house-bid-of-father-in-law-1314362/

Fox News confirmed on Saturday that it’s let go of former President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, because of his active presidential campaign.

“Fox News has long maintained a policy that prohibits people from being contributors when they announce a campaign for public office. In this case, since Donald Trump has announced his intention to run once again for president, the network’s rules bar Lara Trump from being paid for her commentary,” according to Variety magazine.

The good news is that her layoff was reportedly amenable, though the timing has raised some eyebrows.

That’s direct involvement. Fox said they told him not to do that again and moved on.

...of vaccine mandates. Then, they put people on the air to demean vaccine mandates.
Consistency is not a strength with them.
But yeah, they have rules.

The entire network is a "contributor" to public campaigns for office. To the people who think this proves that they are unbiased, I say you're both idiots.

Her husband, Jr, Jr galpal Kim, Trump, Melania, are all now just grifting the rubes or getting paid by the soon to be convicted Trump Org.

Now she's gonna have to go on the Trumper-exploitation show openly.
