Wow, have their stock crashed. From High Oracles to persona non gratae.
Karl Rove, Dick Morris benched by Fox News
Fox News chief Roger Ailes has instructed his staff to keep Rove off camera as he works to reposition the cable news station after the election, New York Magazine reported.
Rove exposed Fox to some ridicule on Election Night after he refused to accept that Mitt Romney had lost the state of Ohio, forcing host Megyn Kelly to interrogate the in-house team that made the call.
Later, he insisted that Obama only won by “suppressing the vote.”
New York Magazine reported that multiple sources say Ailes was angry over Rove’s Election Night meltdown. An Ailes spokesperson, however, told the magazine that there is no rift.
Dick Morris is another high-profile pundit getting benched by Fox. Morris was widely mocked for predicting a Romney “landslide” right before the election.
Later, he said he was trying to keep the Romney campaign’s hopes alive, although he also believed he was right at the time.
Ailes’ deputy, Fox News programming chief Bill Shine, has ordered producers to seek permission before booking either Rove or Morris for the time being, New York Magazine said.
