Fox News Is Keeping Karl Rove & Dick Morris Off the Air Following Poor Election Predictions, Report Claims

Dec. 5, 2012 7:53am Billy Hallowell

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:

For Karl Rove and Dick Morris — a pair of pundits perhaps most closely aligned with Fox’s anti-Obama campaign — Ailes’s orders mean new rules. Ailes’s deputy, Fox News programming chief Bill Shine, has sent out orders mandating that producers must get permission before booking Rove or Morris. Both pundits made several appearances in the days after the election, but their visibility on the network has dropped markedly. Inside Fox News, Morris’s Romney boosterism and reality-denying predictions became a punch line. At a rehearsal on the Saturday before the election, according to a source, anchor Megyn Kelly chuckled when she relayed to colleagues what someone had told her: “I really like Dick Morris. He’s always wrong but he makes me feel good.”

Ailes was purportedly angry after Rove’s election-night dispute over the network’s initial call that Obama was victorious. While a spokesperson for the Fox president claimed that reports of a rift are inaccurate, the network did confirm the new booking rules, noting that they are rooted in the fact that the election has concluded.

  We went to Roku and our antenna a long time ago. We were tired of paying over 150 dollars for a lot of crap we weren’t even interested in. Even on antenna we watch zero network news. We get our Nat’l news from the web, mainly from TheBlaze.com and TheBlazeTV. I say let the Liberals get rich off of someone elses dime, not mine!! Just let the “Fat Bastards eat cake”.

  I’m not so sure I’d put much blame on Morris or Rove since the liberal machine unduly influenced voters AND because of massive voter fraud. Please, you think all was right with this election?

  Every single one of the FOX news pundits called it wrong: Sarah Palin, Charles Krauthammer, Bill Krystol, Laura Ingram, etc. Despite all of the polling data to the contrary, they all were saying Romney was going to win. Why? Because reality isn’t a big concern at FOX. They just supply whatever fiction their audience wants to hear, and label it “fact.”

  And when are you giving up on Glenn and thebaze? They were just as wrong if not more so. Glenn spent a lot of time and resources on Romney, including his hour long special on how honorable he was. All glenn talked about for months was how great romney was and how america is changing for the good. Wrong again Glenn, just like your predictions about the american spring.

  I loved that part on election night where Megyn Kelly is all like, “I’m going to get to the bottom of this” and then makes a rehearsed and awkwardly long walk down to the room where the guys say, “yup, it’s all true, Obama won” and she’s like, “well, okay then.” Meanwhile, Rove is having as meltdown on the air.

  Neither Mr. Rove or Mr. Morris are fifth column members. You would think that theblaze readers would be applauding this decision. These guys are what the typical reader here would call a “Progressive Republican.”
  
  Except that:
  
  This story is barely true. Fox news is intentionally keeping over 310 million Americans off the air as well.
  This is just bombast.

I think its funny how so many people, who supposedly supported Fox news before the election, have now turned on them.To all you far weather “soldiers” out there, look in the mirror, and see why the election was lost, and why progressivism//communism has spread so much over the last 50 years….All some of you have done is cry since the election, because it didnt go your way, and blamed everyone else for it,amazing how some of you sound just like the liberals you protest so much about………

  @Gold Coin. I agree with you. This election was stolen with all of the fraud, etc. Fox News that night was terrible. There was no emotion that he won like I thought would happen. I was watching Fox and Friends this morning and for half an hour they talked about the Royal couple, talked to gossip columinists, and the KC player murder/suicide. No real news. Heck you hear more about the KC murder/suicide than you did about Benghazzi. I have since turned off Fox. I listen to Beck and Rush.

  This is nothing but distraction.
  
  If you can’t see the game Obama’s playing right now you better open your eyes and take a cold hard look. Why do you think he’s still campaigning after what he admitted was his “last election”?
  
  Because he intends to smear and besmirch the GOP house into a loss in the next midterm in 2014.
  
  He believes he can keep Harry Reid and a majority in the Senate and overturn the GOP house. Had you asked me before the 2012 Federal election if he could accomplish this I’d have said no…today…after seeing how uninformed and selfish the electorate is that it voted for Obama because of abortions and “he understands us” over the hard reality of us going broke I’d say he can indeed overturn the high number of Republicans and create another supermajority for himself. He will then pass the DREAM act and raise taxes as he pleases and install liberal judges in the Supreme Court.
  
  And don’t kid yourselves for an instant..he knows full well that $250K rich guy tax isn’t going to make a dent in the deficit..he just wants to keep spending until he leaves. He’ll hammer the middle class while blaming the GOP every step of the way.
  
  Stop worrying about Morris and Rove and start worrying about what Obama’s positioning for. He hates what the 2010 midterms did to him and he’s aiming to change that. Wake up and stop being petty and foolish because he’s got a lot more hurt lined up for us.

Relying on one news source for all of your news is quite scary. But everything other than the blaze is mainstream right? People wonder why conservatives are so uninformed. @justanotheropinion is living proof.

  Obviously a lame attempt by Fox News to create a perception they are not a political arm of the republican party. Rather than this non news piece. How about a discussion about the Fox so called political analysts that were being paid by the Romney / Ryan campaign and republican national committee. If Fox News had any credibility or ethics left they are clearly spent.

  While I think that MORRIS did a HUGE disservice to ROMNEY in this election (and the stupid GOP people who didn’t bother to vote…shame on you!!) I too think it’s very hard to discuss an election that was stolen. IF any of these talking heads had real brains they’d be out there proving this theft and providing information so the rank and file could begin a NATIONWIDE effort to revamp the voting system to prevent this again.
  IF ANYONE needs proof …LOOK at OHIO right before the election with tons of people out there for MITT… not at all like the election results the next day. IT STINKS to HIGH HEAVENS.

  @avengerk. I have this great app for my phone called skygrid. How it works is like this. I open it up and it is loaded with news articles. Just for this story alone there were over 20 different articles written about it. From far left news sources to far right. This includes articles from many different sources and countries. You should get it for your phone. It is nice to take in a variety of sources and opinions and information. Very constructive for formulating your own ideas and opinions after reading a variety of views and statistics. But i am willing to bet that those sources are flawed or all msm to you.
  
  Secondly. How is Fox News firing two idiots a distraction by obama? Has he now infiltrated Fox to create a distraction for his continued pursuit to destroy america and jesus? What kind of tin foil do you use to make up your hat collection. What was rove gonna say while raising 300 million, that romney was gonna lose. The sad part is that Fox thought they would get a true presiction from a guy stumping and using super pacs for romney. Are you that thick to not realize that rove got fired for blatantly lying to raise more money for the republican cause that he was helping to pay for and champion? You really thought he was gonna be honest and say that obama was a lock from the outset? He needed the idiot viewers of Fox to put more $$$ in his superpacs.
  
  If you are too dim to see that is why he fot fired and not because obama is creating a distraction.

  “Poor” performance?..really?..how about WRONG, how about the entire network playing up a race that was lost months ago?..Morris has been wrong on almost everything for years…Rove has lost touch and like a athlete who stays a year or so to long..time to go….Fox has almost lost me as a viewer, the lack of news and overload of opinion has crossed the line…the pretend “fair & balanced”, with 2 guests which usually devolves into 1 guest and 1 host beating up the “liberal”…and on Fox a liberal is anyone who disagrees with whatever the slant is on the news that day….Fox had descended into a 24hr news channel that can’t spend more than 3 minutes on any subject…if I hit Drudge and CNN I get more information and pictures…sadly the babes are nowhere near as cute…so I still watch a little bit :)

  By the way CANARYROCKS…is nuance a problem for you?
  
  The story is a distraction because it’s not important going ahead. Please by all means show me where I stated that Obama orchestrated the “firing” of Morris and Rove as a “distraction”. Perhaps less time with your app with twenty sources and more time on reading and comprehension may help you?
  
  I stated why it’s a distraction (broadly speaking..get it?)..because we’re distracted with pettiness while Obama is still campaigning even though he has no reason to campaign. Why is he doing so? Because the midterms are coming up.
  
  It’s no mystery Obama resents what happened to his supermajority in 2010 when the GOP took the house with their biggest victory in 70 years. It stalled Obama’s plans. If not for Harry Reid and the democrat senate blocking budgets and legislation Obama would be even more frustrated. He’s already expressed his frustration with the constraints congress places on him (read: that the constitution places on him).
  
  Obama doesn’t care if a “fiscal cliff” deal is passed or not. If it is passed it will contain his tax hikes. If it doesn’t get passed taxes go up for everyone. He’ll pillory the GOP regardless because he wants the democrats to control the house. In fact..he’d love taxes to go up across the board and Obamacare already starts that ball rolling. See if you can get your app with 20 sources to educate you better than it seems to have. Idiot.

  @CanadaRocks,
  
  Your liberalism is showing. First off, every media type, big corporation, unions, schools, etc are behind Obalmo. My goodness, they worship him like other countries do a dictator. Also, to speak bad of Oblamo all of the sudden is deemed intolerant racism. So let me ask you this…what did you think of George Bush? You do know Obama is doing everything Bush did, but 10X faster and bigger. Why is that okay?
  
  After you answer the above question please explain what you mean by “extreme right and extreme left” in this country. There is no such thing in America and what you speak of is in every other culture but not here. Our country was established on limited government which means extreme right is an Anarchist, extreme left is Communist or simply put a Statist. However, contrary to your delusional belief, the Tea party, Libertarians,Conservatives and the like are actually Centrists believing and preserving what made this country so great…. A limited government.

  Trying to say that i am not informed is ludicrus.

A LOT!! it opens you up to a broader view or you can keep your narrow minded opinions and be angry all the time and hate the left for what your uneducated and biased mind set is. Because i read a lot and consider myself a political junkie, i do my best to get as many angles as i can. Its called educating yourself. You should try it.
  
  So apparently you read your news from a site (the blaze) that is also running an article on this story adding to the distraction. Hmmmm. Interesting. I believe it was mitch mcconnell john boehner and lamar alexander that have already had fundraising dinners for their campaigns for 2014. See what happens when you read. You learn things. Trying to discredit me because i have an app for my phone that allows access to a variety of news sources is quite relling of who you are and where your intelligence level is.

  See there you go again CANDYROCKS….you’re so worried about defending your little app and how informed you believe to be from it that you keep missing what my use of the word “distraction” alludes to. And even sadder for you..you keep bringing it up in the wrong context.
  
  Let me dumb it down even further for you since you still can’t grasp my use of the word…all this “stuff” about whether Morris and Rove aren’t welcome on Fox is just distraction..it’s fluff, it’s prestidigation (look it up with your little app there CANARY)…it’s meaningless, it’s DISTRACTION. I’m speaking in broad terms you dimwit not specifically that’s it’s tailored to distract. Get your nose out of your little app you’re so proud of and understand nuance.
  
  Once again..it doesn’t matter about Morris and Rove..it matters what Obama’s doing right now and that’s the fact that he’s still campaigning. Why? Again…because he wants to change the make up of the house because it’s all that’s standing in his way and he’s working towards staining and besmirching the GOP in order to affect that change. This “fiscal cliff” kabuki dance is irrelevant as is Morris and Rove..GET IT NOW? What’s important is making sure Obama can’t get away with it..not Morris and Rove or Fox and their feud…is this draining in yet clownshoes?

  CANARYRIOTS…you really are quite dim aren’t you champ? I’m not surprised though.
  
  Do you really believe your pettifogging is going to distract from what Obama’s attempting?
  
  Did your magic app that you can’t pull yourself away from tell you what Timmy Geithner did last week little fella? Timmy said Obama’s plan is $50 billion new stimulus money (yeah..because the first few were roaring successes right?), raise taxes and then we’ll talk about spending cuts maybe a year from now. Did any of the 20 wonderfully informative sites your sparkly little app make you look at tell you that little nugget by chance? Idiot.
  
  Now..with a deficit heading for $20 trillion before Obama finishes this term..why would he offer “maybe look at spending cuts a year from now”? Because this whole “fiscal cliff” debate is irrelevant to him. He wants higher taxes anyway, now or later is not important but the middle class will get hit, Obamacare has started it. He’s playing politics so as to corner the GOP and pillory them into the 2014 midterms and get the house to change hands while retaining the senate. Did your little magic app teach you how to process this information tiger?
  
  Don’t insult my intelligence with your distractions and idiocy..”hey..Boehner had a fundraiser why don’t you attack him?”..”well …you’re one of those conservatives that’s mean and doesn’t like birpartisanship and you’re paranoid too”. You mewling cretin.

  So let me get this straight. I am an indoctrinated idiot who is participating in the distraction of the marxist communist muslim who wants to destroy america. Eventhough i actually read about things in depth and educate myself? Ok. Obama is campaigning for his party genius. To win the house. Is that not democracy? Is the potus not allowed to advocate for his party? Is he not allowed to try to help his party bring forth laws and bills to further their ideas and plans? Get real buddy. All the whining and scare tactics you choose is not going to change anything. You lost. Your platforms and issues lost. Got beat down actually. Everyone knew the outcome of this race months ahead. Was it even really that close? Fraud? No proof of that. So why did you guys lose. How about america trusts obama. You may not but the majority has spoken. You can say that he won for this reason or that, but the majority of america voted for his ideas and values. Not the right side of the aisle.
  
  Do you in all honesty think that what obama is going to do is done to purposely hurt america? That he is taxing the rich for what? Just pure evil vindictiveness. Give your head a shake. You can say i am indoctrinated all you want but the fact of the matter is unless you are actually going to start a civil war, you and your ilk are sunk. Ignore it if you like but it is the truth. But i dont want to distract you from your paranoia.
  
  In all of your obama conspiracy babbling i still dont know where you do resea

  AvengerK, CanadaRocks makes a good point on not getting your news from one source. I used to get all my news from Fox, was an avid fan of Glenn, until my eyes were opened by The Daily Paul. I now search all over the web for my news. When I see a story anywhere, I put it in a search engine and then start reading articles from all over. My mother used to tell me that everyone has their side of the story, you have to listen to both sides and then look in the middle to get the truth. I find that to be true on many levels. All you did is rant and throw out what you believe or heard or read and you never answered the question, where do you get all your news? Try researching everything yourself and not take any one sources words as the gospel? It is always what Glenn has told you to do.

Praise the Lord. Keep them off forever as far as I’m concerned. Their predictions, or lack of predictions, goes back to Obama I. Go back to slithering in the swamps of incompetence.

  I agree completely — I NEVER EVER want to see their faces on FOX News again. They are total bags of hot air — all of the time FOX News wasted listen to them bloviate and write on chalkboards, and it was all garbage. Get some new fresh blood from now on; they are 20th century relics — and not very useful ones.

  Bring back Judge Napolitano. Give John “the ‘stache’ Stossel a prime-time slot.
  
  And don’t just get rid of Rove and Morris, get rid of the HOSTS that had them on, the producers that wanted them, the whole rotten bunch; Kristol, Krauthammer, Barnes; Hannity, O’Reilly, Shep, all of them.
  
  Give us some real conservatives, some libertarians, for a change. In stead of always having the big-government, pro-state, warmongerers preaching on FOX.

these guys were just doing their jobs. they had to keep an upbeat message to keep the money rolling in so they would even stand a chance. if they said two months out, “this race is a lock for obama” the money would stop coming in.

  “these guys were just doing their jobs.”
  
  Then they were doing it POORLY. It’s called INCOMPETENCE and it shouldn’t be rewarded. This is a very good thing FOX is doing because it shows they are actually concerned about putting up people who know what they hell they’re talking about.
  
  Someone else mentioned how Palin, Morris, Rove, and the rest of the usual subjects got it COMPLETELY WRONG! Whenever I find out someone’s an idiot, I stop listening to them!
  
  Is it really any more complicated than that?

  I think they were just doing their jobs. But, Rove needs to go away he is nothing more than a progressive POS and his ideas did not help conservatives. Morris was right except that he did not count on so many people not voting which allowed the Marxist to win, and the fraud.
  
  Morris does know what he is doing.

  Rove was one of the most vocal anti-Ron Paul voices out there. Then his guy lost.
  
  If we were going to lose anyway, why did these schmucks force Romney on us? Why not let the good doc have a shot? Are they that dead set on never letting Americans hear about liberty?

Fox News is appearing more like MSNBC everyday. I couldnt believe my beloved Martha McCallum would sound like a liberal hounding a republican congressman on his unwilling stance to raise taxes.
Bill O’reilly proved to me that he and Bernie Goldberg are anti-second amendment. and they still employ shepard smith. I barely watch it anymore except to catch the five to check out Dana Perrino and laugh at Greg Gutfelds commentaries,hes a funny little guy.

I for one wanted Romney to win so bad and to hear these 2 saying there was no doubt he would was very disappointing. I would not miss either of them. Also, would like to see Geraldo and some to the other liberals off. I don’t watch Fox like I used to. Without Glenn the network is not so good.

  If you recall, Beck started realizing the last couple of days before the election that Romney was in real trouble. This election didn’t make sense because for a president to have failed at every turn like Obama, he should have lost by a landslide, but the polls kept saying he was leading. Well, the polls were right and the Democrats/Media (can’t actually tell the difference anymore) stole any elections that were too close like Allen West’s.

  Glenn Beck came in first place with five others (Morris, George Will, Kudlow) as the Worst Election Predictions at PunditTracking. In fact, his prediction (Romney with 321) tied with the second-whackiest.

I still think Morris has some stuff to say. Yeah, he’s a whore, but he’s usually on with his insights.

  I am more than happy to usher in demise of the Republican Party. They are simply Democrat Lite….if I had wanted higher taxes, inflation and high unemployment, I would have voted for Obama. While the RINOs are absorbed and assimilated by the DNC, I am standing with the Conservatives, the people who stand against pedophilia, institutionalized murder, theft and lies….all tenets embraced fully by Democrats.

I contend that our political process is a mess because of the “operatives” and the “staffs” of the politicians more so than the politicians themselves. What happens when your local congress person is elected….their staff is ‘provided’. This is working well, don’t you think? I don’t hear anyone….not even Glenn. :(

Ailes is trying to turn Foxnews into all the other msm news. He is slowly using excuses to get rid of as many conservatives as possible, starting with the ones people think are different, and picking up one leftist after another. These leftists are really creepy people and Ailes is no different. Once Murdoch hired him I knew that Foxnews as a separate news entity from the rest of the msm was over. Leftists always blame those who they don’t like,”conservatives” for everything. It is in their DNA. Leftism is a mental illness, and people who are leftist should be treated as mentally ill. Not given important jobs in our society. Too bad, just another reason not to watch foxnews as part of the msm. And I do not like Rove or Morris.

  I’m sorry, but how can you call those two conservatives? I’ve actively observed Morris since about ’93 and know that he is not. He’s just a political whore who needs to be in front of the TV cameras to be happy. Rove, okay, thought maybe he was more conservative in the very early 2000s. He later exposed himself as a RINO at best. Typical entrenched progressive in the Republican Party.

I did pick up on Rove very early on, but figured him out in a short time. I’ve never cared that much for Bush either and have expressed that sentiment here numerous times. You are simply telling lies because you can type.

Fraud or not, Morris was just plain wrong. He, like many, incorrectly assumed that there were many Romney voters that kept to themselves and didn’t respond to polls, or weren’t contacted by pollsters at all.
I admit that i thought this was the case as well. Turns out the silent majority didn’t really exist.

During this last election every time he would say “its going to be a land slide for Romney” I would cringe and tell my wife “this is not going to go well”. I dont even think Morris can guess his own weight. As for Rove he’s as much of a hack as Hanity.

For anybody who remembers Dick Morris back in the Mid ’90s when he was working for Clinton should know exactly what kind of political whore he really is. There was the time in ’94-’95 time frame when he stayed shacked up with a particular prostitute sucking her toes. I’ve no use for him not because he did work for Clinton, but rather he has always been one to toss out the wildest stories and predictions to just see which might stick.
I found Rove interesting in the beginning, but lost any trust with him either a short time afterwards. I say good riddance to both.

  Agreed RJJ… when you think of the word “weasel” and a human-like portrayal of one… Morris comes pretty close. The only reason they (Fox) gave Morris air time IMO was because he previously worked for the Clintons and they thought he could entertainingly dish some dirt.

  Hey RJJ..
  
  I remember Morris well back then. I mowed his next door neighbor’s lawn in Redding, CT in the early- to mid 90′s. Morris was relatively unknown until then and used to say hello to us…. then the scandal broke… and news trucks would be parked outside his house.. Weird stuff. I actually still have a phone book with Morris’ old number in it. Never called it though.

  EASTINFECTION, LOL, okay at least you weren’t mowing his lawn. I had recently returned stateside from another tour in Europe and paying close attention to what the Clintons were doing. Morris was in the news only occasionally mainly quoted regarding his advice. Hillary was holding those closed door meetings for Hillarycare, then Whitewater popped out for public consumption. Of course Vince Foster was already dead and Waco, Tx assault was over. Weren’t those some really wild times? You guys should have watched Waco in the European press!

  The other 1/2 were children of various Arab diplomats..
  
  The Arabs were happier than the Americans when BBC announced the winner….
  i should have put 2+2 together then….. ahhh… to be young and naive (and drunk) again…
