Fox Business bans guest after comment

Fox Business Network will no longer book a guest who blamed the latest migrant caravan on the “Soros-occupied State Department,” reports Avery Anapol of The Hill.

Anapol writes, “‘We condemn the rhetoric by the guest on Lou Dobbs Tonight,’ Gary Schreier, senior vice president of programming for Fox Business, said in a statement, according to CNN. ‘This episode was a repeat which has now been pulled from all future airings.’

“A Fox News spokesperson told CNN that the guest, Judicial Watch head Chris Farrell, will no longer be booked on Fox Business Network or Fox News.

“Farrell made the comments on Dobbs’s show while discussing the caravan of migrants making their way through Central America toward the U.S.-Mexico border. Farrell has contributed to The Hill.”
