Fox Condemns Pirro for Asking if Omar is Pro-Sharia

The fair and balanced network is now as unfair and unbalanced as the rest of them.
March 12, 2019


Breitbart reported Monday that the Fox News Channel “condemned host Jeanine Pirro’s remarks on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) use of a hijab and said the issue has been dealt with directly.” Sounds serious. But what Pirro actually said was something Fox should have been applauding, if it hadn’t already become just another establishment network.

Pirro said: “Think about this: She’s not getting this anti-Israel sentiment doctrine from the Democrat Party. So if it’s not rooted in the party, where is she getting it from? Think about it. Omar wears a hijab, which according to the Quran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”

The Saudis are the second largest stockholders at Fox News with about a 7% share.

I'd love to see someone put that question to her. I know she'd love to say sharia, but she might just be smart enough to avoid answering the question.
When a few years ago some conservative activist named Ami Horowitz asked a number of Muslims in Minneapolis if they'd like to see sharia law as the law of the land, the great majority answered sure, they'd love it.

So, what is Fox going to do about it?  Put a sternly worded letter in her permanent file, or just sack her?  Does she just walk?

I don't see the crime here.  What is wrong with asking a (pertinent) question?   The concern being extremely valid, considering.

This might be all there is to it.  "We Condemn...." and that's it.

That's true everywhere, whether the news media, academia or posting on social media.

FOX has been going down hill for years now.

Particularly so since the channel became a propaganda shill for Trump.  Fair and balanced, my backside.
