Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner addressed an awkward on-air conversation that occurred one day prior with Newt Gingrich on Thursday, when several co-hosts of "Outnumbered" said George Soros should not be part of a conversation around the cost of riot damage across the U.S.
"So, we had a little incident on the show yesterday that was not smooth. And while I was leading that segment, we had interruptions, and I sat silently while all of that played out. Also not ideal," Faulkner explained on "Outnumbered" on Thursday.

Ja, das is verboten, mein herr Gingrich.
Hey, girls, where your swastika pins, next time, in honor of that great Nazi Jew-Baiter, Soros.

How many times have we had to put up with negative comments about the "richness" of oil companies, insurance companies etc. Democrats have never hesitated in speaking their mind about the vast wealth of an entity. They have even demonized some of them. Yet, one person opines about George Soros and all bets are off. I am disgusted with their double standards.

Okay, Fox does not censor...right. Then make George Soros open for discussion on Outnumbered and any other program on Fox. Soros does fund these radical groups. That is a known fact. It is out there in the public square. So why does he not deserve scrutiny? When our cities are being destroyed by well organized anarchist groups we should know the source off their funding, all of it. George Soros has said his goal is to destroy the United States. That is not hyperbole. It is truth. We stand as affront to the his philosophy of government. This old man has done more damage to the world than should be allowed. He skirts the law through multiple NGO’s and other organizations but his goal is clear, he and his host of fellow comrades want to rule the world. These people are evil. They are an existential threat to freedom and this country stands in the way of their goal. This country must be destroyed in order for them to succeed on the level they desire. Soros has bought every aspect of our country that is actively working against our founding principles. He owns much of the political class, academia, corporate elites, and, of course, the media. This President and his supporters are standing in his way and he means to destroy us. Shine the light of truth on this brutally evil man and his organizations. No one deserves it more. Out Soros for conspiring to commit insurrection. Then jail him. The world would be a much better place with him behind bars. Gitmo the traitor!

Faulkner "addressed" the fact that they cut Newt off, but didn't explain the cutoff. She just dismissed it as bad manners, blaming herself for not monitoring the panel's decorum or something.
This smells.

Okay, now I'm angry. It will be a cold day in h#ll when I watch the Outnumbered show. That looney Maria Harf basically saying we are not going to go there with the Soros comment. Soros is the god of the democrat party. The dems sold their souls for Soros support and money.

Fox news res[ponded "We don't censor on this show" because there has been a fire storm throughout the Internet. She's correct that "Outnumbered" almost never sensors, but Newt WAS censored!. The relevant question is WHY?! Did FOX's management bark instructions via ear piece?

On Thurs' show, Tucker's guest mentioned Soros. Carlson didn't admonish or cut him off. In fact, he concurred with the man's point. Interesting sign. Glad to see it.

Those of us who were watching that show wondered why Marie was allowed to decide who could talk and who should shut up! She isn't in charge! Everyone watching was stunned that they shut down one of their Premier Guests. I can imagine how Newt felt, being chastised by these Ladies who haven't been in politics near as long as he has and who don't have near the knowledge he does. I don't think this is going to blow over just because Harris said a few words. There HAS to be some kind of explanation as to why Newt was shut down. Then maybe we will let it go!

Just exactly why doesn't George Soros need to be brought into the conversation? Nobody seems to want to talk about this guy, this guy who has donated millions upon millions to subvert our laws, our government and our way of life. There are stories after stories published about how he funds this left wing anti-American group after group, after group. George Soros should be investigated, put on trial if for no other reason . . . sedition!

Faulkner looked and sounded pathetic... She would have been better served keeping her mouth shut! Now we KNOW Soros has Marie Harpf on a puppet string and very likely Juan Williams and the rest of the Leftist/Fascists on Fox. Sad!

For a long time Harris Faulkner was the only woman on Fox who didn't have a law degree. (She was a "communications" major as well as an equal opportunity hire, and every once in a while it shows.)
I don't watch anything with Marie Harffff. She is so blatantly progressive, a bully and not too bright.

Also we notice that Harris, in her "explanation", never mentioned the name Soros so many people didn't know what she was talking about. She left a really bad smell around all of this. I suggest that this is a case of "we don't talk about the investors."

Soros by public account, is a Hungarian Jew who survived the Holocaust, and became a US citizen.
Out of his own mouth, he bragged about outing hidden Jews to the Nazis, then looking the houses while the Gestapo and their men hauled the betrayed off to places like Auschwitz.
While Wikipedia notes he's a hedge fund shark, they don't really say where he got his seed capital, to have enough capital to eventually "break the bank of England". He's currently worth over $8 billion, having dumped $32million into his open society foundations. He could "technically" claim he does not control these.
His aim has always been to destroy others.
I've speculated that he was a Nazi banker, set up to funnel their stolen cash to South America, who then betrayed them, and used his stolen money to help his new friends, the Soviets. Im fairly certain Putin has the goods on him, and is ruthless enough to actually scare the old buzzard.

spellchecker., considering how many secret files got out of the USSR when it colapsed, I'm fairly certain our "friends" in the CIA are aware of his leanings and fully approve of his plans to hurt "Orange Man Bad". That means the Democrats know. Which helps to explain why Hillary was so happy to help Put in steal 1/3rd of the US uranium stockpiles.

It's become far overused but fits too well: You know you are over the target when you start to take flack. The truth, Soros is funding the violence that is burning our country down and tearing at our unity. Soros is funding district attorneys all over the country and those DA's are refusing to prosecute the arsonists, murderers, rapists while enthusiastically prosecuting innocent victims for legally defending themselves. Furthermore some of the financing is coming from Red China. That is the real story, this is war my friends.

The truth most likely is that the Fox suits came down on Faulkner for not immediately shutting old Newt down as soon as he said the word Soros. Chances are Faulkner was told to go back out and issue a statement getting her show and Fox out of the controversy. Thus we see this article.

How many times have we heard about the vile Koch brothers funding 'radical' rightwingers? Some financiers are OK to mention, apparently. As for Harf, I'd watch Juan before I'd watch her, and I change channels or shut off the TV when Juan comes on the screen.

I've lost a lot of respect for Harris over this. She didnt explain it, she just acknowledged it. Sounds a lot like the non-explanations that come out of China lately.
Does China own Fox nowadays? Or is it still just American communists?

The comment by Harris was poorly composed and delivered and the tone lacked sincerity. Even though I expected better from her, I realize she did not write the comment and was reading it from a teleprompter.

Ha ha ha. Madam, you are only winning on the east coast. Regular people, sit at home waiting for their jobs to magically reappear and they use your air time to go to the bathroom, start the dishwasher or fold laundry. You still have a job, apparently that includes spouting accolades for America's sworn enemies. FYI Gingrich is NOT the enemy.

Sorry, Harris, not good enough. You don't let your little coven attempt to censor Gingrich and then claim that you don't censor. Harf is of the same cloth as Juan Williams, Donna Brazille, Meghan McCain and what Dick Morris used to be, token "balancers" that say stupid stuff to placate the liberals who may watch the show.
Besides padding the country with bought and paid-for attorneys, Soros has been paying and supplying BLM and Antifa to act as mercenaries fighting against this country. He has financed large groups of illegal immigrants from South America. Ads placed by his organizations prove it. It doesn't matter where he now lives, he could and should be taken out, yes, I do mean removed by sniper.

Harris really disappointed me. I thought she was as straight a shooter as one would find on a show like this, but her trained monkey approach to reading the teleprompter blew it for me on this one. She joins in as another Fox member who has me reaching for the channel selector.
Another bright light turns into a dim bulb.

Harf is, no doubt, getting money from Soros via one or more of his many evil 'foundations', so she found it extremely important to cut off any discussion of the FACT that Soros is funding these anachists and Marxist terrorists.

FTA:
"Our guest, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who is beloved and needed to be allowed to speak with the openness and respect that this show is all about, was interrupted," she said.
"Do we debate with fire here? Yes," Faulkner continued. "But we must also give each other the space to express ourselves. As the only original member of the six-year-old amazing daytime ride known as 'Outnumbered,' I especially want to rock 'n' roll with every voice and perspective at the table.
"We don't censor on this show," she said. "And that's why we are winning weekdays at noon.”
Faulkner was initially blamed for censoring Newt. She did not do so. It was Melissa Francis who butted in with her comment on Soros, and she was seconded by Marie Harf. Faulkner was blindsided. She runs a pretty fair program. I have never seen her censor anyone.
Melissa Francis has shown herself to be ignorant when it comes to current politics. She doesn’t seem to be a Trump fan either. Harf is a Dem propagandist.

Some of us appear to believe that Fox anchors like Harris should be confirming our position. I believe they are intended to be neutral. To present all sides fairly. It often doesn’t work. In this case she was blindsided and her job as moderator taken away from her by rude Melissa Francis and Marie Harf.

Newt was the one treated badly by Melissa Francis and Marie Harf. Here is his take on what happened.
It seems there is suddenly a movement in media to silence anyone who speaks out against George Soros—and, specifically, his funding of radical prosecutors seeking to change the criminal justice system by simply ignoring certain crimes. This happened to me personally this week while I was being interviewed on Fox’s Outnumbered. When I brought up Soros’s plan to get pro-criminal, anti-police prosecutors elected across the country, two of the show’s participants interrupted me and forcefully asserted that Soros was not involved. Host Harris Faulkner, it seemed, was stunned by the interruptions, and did her part to move the show forward after some awkward silence. The next day, she addressed the strange moment during the show and condemned censorship. Immediately after the show, Twitter and other social media went crazy. People were alleging that any criticism of Soros’s political involvement is automatically false, anti-Semitic, or both.

By the way Harris we even have means of taping so we can play back the incident and show how you are lying. Sad that you and your producers are this stupid. I used to think you were worth the time.
