Andrea Tantaros Booted From Fox News – At Least For Now (Video)
If you’ve already been growing increasingly annoyed with Fox News over their far from “Fair and Balanced” news coverage lately, or over Megyn Kelly’s not so occasional slipping her own opinion into stories and reporting them as fact, then when you hear that Andrea Tantaros appears to have been booted from Fox News – at least for now, that might be the last straw. It is for me.
The article below suggests it might have something to do with Tantaros’ open support for Donald Trump, but on a station that salivates over his every move, there would have to be more to it than just her supporting Trump. Back in February, Andrea Tantaros herself said on the show Outnumbered that she has been harassed by Republicans for supporting Trump, some from National Review allegedly even telling her to quit working and give her job to someone else.

Whether the decision turns out to be final remains to be seen, but it might be worth recalling when people first heard the news another Fox bombshell, Elisabeth Hasselbeck was departing Fox News. Though she claimed she was leaving to spend more time with her family, rumors were circulating that she was actually let go for a very different reason. The rumor was they would not give her a raise and decided to let her go. Could the same be happening with Tantaros now? Come on… who could fire someone who wore the shirt below???
Seen by many as the veritable pin-up girl for every conservative, red blooded, American male, the Fox News Channel (FNC) has at least for the time being dropped one of the more popular on air personalities. As reported by Josh Feldman of the Mediaite news portal, and also by Chris Ariens of TVNewser, both on Apr. 27, 2016, fan favorite Andrea Tantaros has at least for now been taken off the network’s schedule.
Born Andreana Kostantina Tantaros to a Greek immigrant father and an Italian-American mother, the girl who was raised with a strong work ethic and even a stronger love of country was no stranger to controversy during her six years at Fox News. Yet as cited, FNC has released the following rather terse announcement to TVNewser, “Issues have arisen regarding Andrea’s contract, and Fox News Channel has determined it best that she take some time off. She is still under contract with the network.”
Initially hired as a political contributor in 2010, Tantaros’ quick wit and keen intellect saw her as a frequent guest on Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld and The Five. Eventually, she was a full time panelist on the everything politics noontime show Outnumbered. Tantaros had quite the reputation as a hard core conservative, and wasn’t afraid to voice her opinion.
While not cited by FNC as a reason for her extended vacation, Tantaros recently claimed during a taping of Outnumbered that certain GOP Establishment-types were coming down hard on her for supporting Donald Trump; “They have been doing this. Specifically, Charles Cooke, who is a writer for National Review, he tweeted out that I should give my job to somebody else. Also, I saw a tweet, it was a meme by Kevin Williamson of National Review trying to make me seem stupid. There’s a girl talking about biorhythms, or something. So I’ve gotten my fair share as well from folks on the right and the left and in the media calling me stupid and Trump supporters as well… Exactly I should give up my job according to men in the Republican Party.”
In the midst of the Obama Administration’s less-than-kosher investigations of certain journalists, Tantaros held little back. As cited by the NewsHounds.us weblog, while on the air, the woman who grew-up working at the family restaurant stated quite plainly, “This is Obama’s America. It’s like the Soviet Union. He said he’d change the country. He said it, he said it, he said it, and a lot of people voted for him. And if you see any of those people today, do me a favor, punch ‘em in the face. We’ll be right back.”
Often citing her father as her inspiration both personally and professionally, Headline and Global News reported in May of 2015, that upon his death at age 65, Konstantinos Tantaros was not only the patriarch of a close-knit family, but also the man behind “12 restaurants, strip malls, real estate development and community banks. He was also the founding director of East Penn Bank.” When he first arrived in America at the age of 16, Konstantinos Tantaros had only $30 tucked away in the clothes he was wearing, which happened to be all he owned in the world.

She will probably have MANY jobs waiting for her. MSM is for the birds. I listen to music,READ and watch History Channels Alien World…lol.
i like how they talk about reason…there is no rhyme nor reason to the diabolical take over of our country ..it is what it is…treasonous individuals out to destroy America for greed and power. Those that stand up for their rights are cast aside like trash…we mean nothing to them…but in reality…without us THEY would be nothing. Thus, we rise.
Thus we rise” If only….
It’s just some boring contract conflict with her new book. They will hammer it out and she’ll be back soon.
That’s just what Fox did to Carmen Segarra. Segarra was a fed appointed regulator investigating Goldman Sachs. She was also a regular on the Fox news circuit. Until she did her job!
Segarra taped Fed officials, telling her to change her report on continuing illegal activity at Goldman Sachs. When she refused to cover up the truth the Fed fired her and Fox dropped her. Fox suppresses news when they aren’t creating it out of thin air.
