In the wake of the election, following predictions that Republican Mitt Romney would definitively beat President Barack Obama, commentators and politicos like Karl Rove and Dick Morris have received a great deal of criticism. And it seems, at least according to sources who spoke exclusively with New York Magazine, that Fox News is now intentionally keeping both men off the air.
In the wake of the elections, “multiple Fox sources” told the outlet that the network’s president, Roger Ailes, has been repositioning on-air coverage to comply with the post-election climate. Among his changes, he has purportedly sought to remove from air any “faces associated with the election.”
This change, in effect at least temporarily, has meant that Morris and Rove, two men who had prominent placement during the 2012 presidential campaign, have appeared more infrequently since Obama’s re-election win. New York Magazine explains the details of the regulatory changes:

FOX news has become more entertainment television, than real journalism anyway. There is no such thing as “news” shows anymore. They report what they are told, nothing more. What happened to investigative journalism? Oh, never mind, I found it. It’s now on the internet. And as far as letting Rove and Morris go, or at least be seen less? Yet you leave on a sleezey, loud mouthed racist like Jehmooo Green? Just proves, FOX “news” has sunk to the new lows of NBC, ABC, MSNBC, and CBS. Good riddance to all these fascist programs.
There is no way anyone could have predicted the outcome in light of all the fraud and illegal voting, which occurred nationwide< By the best estimates Romney actually won if the illiegal votes were thrown out! At least in other nationa, and even third world counties, when illegal voting is reported it is investigated promptly, but not in this cesspool nation!!!
Amen….we no longer have a government ‘of the people’….we are swiftly going towards a dictatorship and these fleckless legislators are too gutless to do anything about it.
Can’t say I will miss these two neocon, GOP establishment mouthpieces/whores!!
I don’t really care if rove or Morris spend more time on fox news, but as far as the prediction of a Romney win, we don’t really know who won after the fraud and corruption in the election system with key congressional districts having 180 per cent turnout of registered voters and illegal expelling of poll watcher trying to avoid fraud and illegal votes.
Rove has outlived his usefullness. He is an anachronistic piece of history who needs to make way for someone who isn’t as ARROGANT…. retire you old Fart, People are starting to laugh at you…

I don’t think it’s fair to blame these two men for anything. From the figures they had, poll results, all the other things that they normally make a decision like that on, they determined that Romney would win. How could they know that illegals, dead people, dogs, cats, etc. would be used to steal the election? As usual he’s getting away with it just like everything else. I wonder if I could sneak into another country and just insert myself into their government and steal my way into their highest office and get away with it? I seriously doubt it, anywhere else you would be jailed immediately or worse. But here in a country where we have certain freedoms a person can actually do that and get away with it and the rest of us pay for it. Amazing isn’t it? Not that it’s something a person should do. It’s despicable, utterly and completely. I am totally and completely flabbergasted that we can’t get something done. We all know what’s been done, the whole world does and they are laughing at us.
