New Fox News boss orders a crackdown on inflamatory and offensive statements

Politico

CEO Suzanne Scott ordered the cable news network's top producers to a meeting last and told them to be in control of their hosts and panelists, according to Politico. "Scott told the producers that they would be held accountable for anything said on their air, and that it was their job to head off any inappropriate remarks, according to two people with knowledge of the meeting," Politico reports. "Appearing via video conference from Washington, D.C., to the group in New York, which also included programming executives, Scott read from a prepared script, explaining that she wanted to make sure she communicated her message precisely." News of Scott's warning comes days after Fox News suspended a panelist, former Trump deputy campaign manager David Bossie, for telling black panelist Joel Payne, "You’re out of your cotton-picking mind.”
