Jonah Goldberg & Stephen Hayes resign from Fox News, protesting 'irresponsible' voicesTucker Carlson

Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes resign from Fox News, protesting "irresponsible" voices like Tucker Carlson I"m surprised that Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes are still employed by Fox News every month or so, when I speak with insiders at the network. After all, the two guys are conservative thinkers who refuse to bow to Donald Trump"s demands. Viewers, unfortunately, rarely get to hear from them. They are booked so infrequently by the network"s producers that their contracts are akin to golden handcuffs. They"re no longer wearing handcuffs. Hayes and Goldberg announced their departure from Fox late Sunday night. Tucker Carlson"s Patriot Purge propaganda film, they said in a blog post for The Dispatch, their online home, was the final straw. Responsible conservatives still provide vital opinion and analysis, and news still performs serious reporting, the men stated. However, the voices of the responsible are drowned out by the irresponsible, according to Carlson. Other news organisations have portrayed Patriot Purge as disturbing evidence of right-wing radicalization, complete with January 6 denial and hysterical claims of a ew war on terror targeting Republicans, including references to Guantanamo Bay and images of waterboarding. This is not going to happen. And we believe it is unwise to act as if it is Goldberg and Hayes penned the article. There are Americans who will believe â€" and act on â€" such misinformation if it is shared loudly and long enough by someone with such a platform.\n Goldberg and Hayes were no longer able to participate. Carlson was contacted by New York Times media columnist Ben Smith, who broke the news of Goldberg and Hayes" resignations on Sunday, and the trollish host understandably expressed his delight, adding that our fans would be pleased that they are no longer on the show. The conservative movement, on the other hand, will suffer as a result. Rep. Liz Cheney, one of the GOP"s most outspoken critics of Trump and the Big Lie, thanked the two men for standing up for truth and calling out deadly lies on Twitter. A unique perspective In a phone conversation with Smith, Goldberg gave a rare behind-the-scenes look at Fox"s political strategy. Goldberg claimed that he and Hayes stayed on at Fox News as long as they did because of a sense from talks within Fox that, after Mr. Trump"s defeat, the network would strive to regain some of its independence and, as he called it, "right the ship," according to Smith. A sign that people have made peace with this direction of things, and there is no plan, at least that anyone made me aware of for a course correction, Goldberg said of Fox"s choice to promote and publish Patriot Purge in early November. The two commentators said in a Sunday night post on The Dispatch that the Patriot Purge web series creates an alternative history of January 6 that is contradicted not just by common sense, not just by the testimony and on-the-record statements of many participants, but by the reporting of News" news division.\n Hayes and Goldberg lauded Fox"s eporting side, but agreed that the opinion side has become more extremist. The publishing of "Patriot Purge" was only the most severe illustration of a longtime practise, they said. As a result, they"re no longer in the game. Even if we find it sadly necessary, they added, we do not regret our decision.\n the most popular reactions Fox makes their choice, con"t, New York Times political writer Jonathan Martin said of the resignation news. To put it another way, Fox continues to side with Trump"s populist supporters over the GOP"s more sensible, intellectual voices. Fox is deciding where it wants to go. Thank you Jonah Goldberg u0026 Stephen Hayes for taking a stance for the truth against an ongoing deadly enterprise, Olivia Troye, a former VP Pence adviser turned Trump administration critic, commented. â€" For standing up to Fox, crying Stop, at a time when few other conservatives are inclined to do it, or to have much patience with those who so push it, conservative writer Bill Kristol praised the two men. Dan Froomkin, a liberal writer, has the following reaction: We should all stop listening to Fox News. And journalists who report on the ground should attempt to wean America off of it...\nâ€" During this whole debacle, Steve and Jonah have been two of the bravest journalists, David Brooks tweeted. They"ve chosen positions with serious consequences.
