Fox News executive VP suddenly out after writing a non-PC article on the Olympics

Fair, balanced, but be very, very afraid.
No, not Juan Williams - someone else. I vehemently disagreed with Juan's defense of Farrakhan and do not care for many of his other opinions as well, but get so sick of people, left and right, losing their livelihood over statements they make that anger some. But it seems John Moody angered the left, including Media Matters and CNN, which must have been too much for Fox.  TD

. . . "Never a shrinking violet, on February 7, 2018, the day before the start of the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, Moody wrote a column about the Olympics that was published at Fox News's website.  The title was "In Olympics, let's focus on the winner of the race – not the race of the winner.' " . . .
I loved that statement.

"Based on the immediate negative reaction to the article on the part of the left, you would think Moody had written a promotional flyer for the KKK.  Within hours of its appearing online, Fox News's sworn enemy, David Brock's Media Matters for America, took aim in a slanted summary of Moody's article: . . ."

"Interested readers are directed to Moody's original February 7, 2018 article on the Olympics, archived here, for a fuller understanding before weighing in on the question: John Moody – retirement or forced departure?"
