Fox News Cuts Ties With Liz Cheney Due To Senate Run

Source: Huffington Post

Now that she is running for a Senate seat, Liz Cheney's contract with Fox News has been terminated, Mediaite reported on Tuesday.

Cheney had been a paid pundit at the network, and even guest hosted some of its shows from time to time. On Tuesday, though, she announced that she was running for a seat in Wyoming, meaning that she could no longer continue in her contributor role.

The move is not a new one; most famously, Fox News let go of Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum in 2011, when it became clear the two men were running for president.

She has the power of her Zombie father and all of his evil powers behind her. In particular, this means there will be unlimited money from defense, oil, etc. behind her. Whatever her personal qualities, money still wins elections.

I predict here & now that she will be the next Senator from Wyoming.

(I make this prediction as a public service because, since so few of my predictions actually pan out, I can generally put a curse on any politician by predicting that they will win.)

Hi,
I totally agree with you. With all the corporate money backing her and all her dad's crooked cronies, I have a feeling she will win also.

Peace

continue to suck up to Darth Vader. Either way they have and will continue to inflict baby Vader on us from now until the end of elections (at which time if she isn't successful they will probably re-hire her as a consultant).
