New court filings highlight the degree to which Fox was willing to punish their own staff to avoid angering their audience with factual reporting
CEO Suzanne Scott came down particularly hard on former Fox White House Correspondent Kristin Fisher after she fact-checked afrom Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. “I can’t keep defending these reporters who don’t understand our viewers and how to handle stories,” she wrote in an email to network President Jay Wallace. “We need to manage this […] The audience feels like we crapped on [them] and we have damaged their trust and belief in us.
In a separate email chain, with the subject line “Brand Alert,” Scott wrote that the network couldn’t “give the crazies an inch” because they are “looking for and blowing up all appearances of disrespect to the audience.” In a subsequent text exchange with fellow correspondent Gillian Turner, Fisher wrote that she was “100% being muzzled.” Fisher said that since her on-air fact check she’d had “zero live shots from the [White House]” and that her usual morning segments were being given to other employees. “They even pulled me from anchoring the 2PM last Friday,” she wrote. “I’m being punished for doing my job. Literally. That’s it.
