Grant Stinchfield explained that it was “not my choice” to leave the network and that he “wanted to stay.”
over the summer, former primetime host Grant Stinchfield is speaking out against his previous employer—and accusing the conservative network of canceling his show because he refused to go after Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on air., Stinchfield lays out in detail why he believes he was fired from the network despite a surge in ratings following the 2020 election when some viewers abandoned Fox for calling Arizona—and therefore the presidency—for Joe Biden.
“So what did Newsmax want me to do to make those strides? Well, if you can believe it, they wanted me to go after Tucker Carlson, to attack him,” Stinchfield, who was averaging around 300,000 viewers to Carlson’s 3 million, said. “And I had a real hard time with this because to me, Tucker Carlson, I would say, is number two to President Trump as the leader of the Republican Party.”
But that wasn’t “good enough” for the Newsmax bosses. “They wanted me to go after him on a nightly basis,” he said. “They wanted me to hammer him and honestly, I gently refused.”
