Beyond Fox’s guests, Fox executives and other insiders also referred to Fox’s own hosts as inherently unreliable when discussing their reporting about the 2020 election:
Fox executive Gary Schreier, on Maria Bartiromo: “The problem is she has gop conspiracy theorists in her ear and they use her for their message sometimes.”
Fox President Jay Wallace: “the North Koreans do a more nuanced show” than Lou Dobbs.
Fox President Jay Wallace, when Bret Baier suggested Fox buy Parler: “we can barely contain Dobbs—imagine all the crazy we’d be responsible for.”
Fox executive Porter Berry: “he’s not crazy like Dobbs.”
Fox producer Jeff Field: Dobbs “turned a blind eye” because he was “so committed” to Donald Trump, and the fact that he “was ultra MAGA [] would be guiding editorial.”
Tucker Carlson: “Lou was reckless.”
Jerry Andrews: “Jeanine is just as nuts.”
Justin Wells (executive producer for Carlson): “
Brian Farley on Carlson and Hannity: “crazy Tucker and crazier Hannity.”
Fox Corporation Senior Vice President Raj Shah on Hannity: “Hannity is
a little out there.”
