The Daily Beast reports:
Fox News has cut ties with MAGA vlogging superstars Diamond & Silk, who had contributed original content to the network’s streaming service Fox Nation since shortly after its late 2018 launch.
The sudden split comes after the Trump-boosting siblings have come under fire for promoting conspiracy theories and disinformation about the coronavirus. “After what they’ve said and tweeted you won’t be seeing them on Fox Nation or Fox News anytime soon,” a source with knowledge of the matter told The Daily Beast.
No new episodes of their online program have been uploaded since April 7, as CNN senior media reporter Oliver Darcy first noted over the weekend. Prior to this month, the duo never missed a week posting episodes since December 2018.

1/ Fox News fires with Diamond & Silk illustrates two things:
First, the wild double standards at Fox News. They acknowledge what they said was sanction worthy. Yet, Hannity and others just as bad and they embrace not fire them.
But, there’s something else interesting here…

2/ Second, this also shows the precarious and vulnerable position that Fox News is in. Advertisers have already rejected them.
But something more important than advertisers to Fox. Fox is renegotiating 65% of their cable fees this year. (More here: https://t.co/rNWY1wZOwJ)

3/ The destruction and death their covid-19 coverage created has left Fox News in a uniquely vulnerable situation. So, much like Trish Regan, they will very quickly toss aside from figures to help let a little pressure out out.
This only proves Fox is as bad as everyone thinks.
