It may be a sign that Fox News is under new management: Dana Perino and Chris Stirewalt have been given their own Fox News show. It will air on Sundays, displacing a repeat of Howard Kurtz’ Media Buzz.
From Variety:
Perino, a co-host of the daily afternoon program “The Five,” and Stirewalt, the news outlet’s digital politics editor, will co-host “Perino & Stirewalt: I’ll Tell You What” starting live on Sunday, September 18. The show will run through Sunday, November 13th and air in place of a repeat of the network’s media-critique program “Mediabuzz.” The duo, who host a weekly podcast of the same name, will mix unscripted banter and live reports on the latest from the campaign trail, and interact with a rotating panel of guests.
As Variety also notes, the show is the first to debut since Roger Ailes was ousted from Fox News in the wake of multiple allegations of sexual harassment.
But here’s what’s really noteworthy for NewsHounds: Stirewalt, a regular on The Kelly File is clearly not a Trump slobberer like such Fox hosts as Sean Hannity, Steve Doocy, Harris Faulkner, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eric Bolling and, before she left the network, Greta Van Susteren. Nor is Perino.
Also, this is a bit of a slap in the face of Kurtz who has not only acted as something of a Trump apologist, he has done the same for Ailes.
Watch Perino talk about the blowback she received after she smacked down Trump’s claim that the polls are rigged, from her August 18, 2016 appearance on The O’Reilly Factor, via Media Matters.

That just blows me away. In what possible respect can this wig be thinking? Better to build up the military to be more than have the national budget EVERY FUCKING YEAR? Better to starve the poor and stuff more gold eggs into the nests of the greedy wealthy? Better to unregulated air, water and soil protection and allow corporations to poison what we eat, breathe and drink?
Sweet Jesus, these otherwise relatively normal intelligent people can be so damned block headed ignorant. Their allegiance to a party of greed and ignorance to science and history makes me want to scream!
Please don’t make such typical Trump jump to lumping a whole nationality in the same category with one extremely stupid man.
I’ve always enjoyed your posts but you’re way off base with that one. Just admit it, please.
Italian sailors are currently jumping off ships in order to save desperate men, women and children from drowning. They continued to do so even after they’d been told to stand off and allow the ships of other EU nations to do that job. When those other ships never arrived in sufficient numbers, Italian sailors found it impossible to allow people to drown.
If Perino could remain behind, she could salvage the ship.
BOR and Sean are like those Italian navy cocksuckers who jump ship at the first opportunity.
Assuming it doesn’t conflict with nap time at most nursing homes. 👍
