FOX NEWS REPORTEDLY ‘DEMOTED’ JEANINE PIRRO, OWN PRODUCER TORCHED HER AS A
‘RECKLESS MANIAC’

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro’s own executive producer reportedly described her as
a “reckless maniac,” according to former CNN chief media correspondent Brian
Stelter’s new book.

A section of Stelter’s upcoming book, Network of Lies: The Epic Saga of Fox
News, Donald Trump, and the Battle for American Democracy , was shared ahead of
publication with the Daily Beast’s Confider newsletter on Monday, detailing
Pirro’s rocky relationship with Fox News management.



According to the book, Pirro’s move to regular co-host on The Five was actually
intended by Fox News management to be a demotion after her now-canceled weekend
show, Justice with Judge Jeanine , was one of the key promoters of the false
claim that the 2020 election was rigged thanks in part to Dominion Voting
Systems. Fox News went on to settle with Dominion for a whopping $787.5 million.

Two unnamed sources told Stelter that “Pirro was a problem” due to her
“stubborn, slavish Trumpiness,” and that she had “clashed with Fox execs who’d
grown tired of her histrionic shenanigans.” Pirro had also allegedly accused
management of “censorship” when they suggested changes to the opening monologues
of her weekend show Justice with Judge Jeanine .

Pirro had become so unmanageable that her own executive producer had called her
a “reckless maniac,” as a filing in the Dominion lawsuit previously indicated.
And according to Stelter, that recklessness led to Fox executives canceling her
show.



As a result, since “nobody wanted to deal with her,” according to one of the
sources, Pirro was moved to The Five , where she could no longer write
monologues or choose her own guests.

While Pirro’s “demotion” to The Five resulted in her gaining a far larger
viewership, Stelter wrote that “it was pointed out to me that The Five is not
the cushiest job for a seventy-something former prosecutor to hold,” and that
the switch up made it easier for “the managers and lawyers.”

A source with knowledge of the matter told Mediaite that demotion is completely
inaccurate noting “you don’t get demoted to the number one show in cable news
that’s on 5 nights a week.”

What a demotion!!! She went from her hour long show once a week on a Saturday
night to 1 hour show 5 days a week. A show that has happens to be #1 for the
past year!!! I'm sure she's crushed!! The now fired Stelter sounds like bitter
Bobby!
