Is a major shakeup coming to Fox News?
“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin predicted anchor Bret Baier will likely leave Fox News due to the ongoing defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems.
Newly released court documents from Dominion’s $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News show the network’s executives and prime-time lineup privately expressed doubts over former President Donald Trump’s claims of widespread voter fraud after losing reelection.
But perhaps the most shocking revelation was that some of them expressed fear that any fact-checkers might alienate their audience. (RELATED: Fox News Trashed Trump’s Election Fraud Claims: Court Documents)
The texts revealed some at the network questioned or flat out did not believe the election fraud conspiracy theories some hosts and guests were promoting on the network.
Hostin, who is a lawyer, called the texts “some of the most damning evidence, evidentiary texts I’ve seen in my legal career.”
“Chris Wallace, before he left, said one of the reasons he left was once they started questioning facts, questioning truth. He found that to be unsustainable,” she said. “I think the same thing will happen to Bret Baier because I —”
“Is Bret still there?” Joy Behar asked. Baier is currently at Fox News, but Hostin predicted he would go the way of Wallace.
“I can’t imagine that he’ll stay. I think they’re going to lose him,” she said.
Hostin also predicted the $1.6 billion Dominion defamation suit could end up being successful in court.
“I think it is the strongest defamation case against a media company I’ve ever seen,” she concluded.
It’s unclear if the longtime anchor is considering leaving Fox News, he joined the network in 1998 as the Atlanta bureau chief. Baier was tapped to become the network’s Pentagon correspondent following his coverage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In 2007, Baier was named Fox’s White House correspondent before replacing Brit Hume as “Special Report” anchor in 2008.

The left know they are losing now that “sniffin” Joe is showing just how incompetent he really is. He had two years old complete Dem control and made things much worse. So now all the stories about republicans being splintered and stars of Fox leaving are dominating their narratives.
Why would Baier, who is a major player at Fox, follow the fool Chris Wallace’s disastrous decision? It’s Fox who dominates news, not any cable or now even broadcast news so where is Baier going to get a bigger audience. Many have left and Fox continues to dominate, so is it the Network or the personalities?

Hostin is a lawyer wanna-be. She probably finished at the bottom of her class.
