Bad times for the NeverTrump bunch over at Fox News

 Monica Showalter   "News organizations are bound by shareholders to be forward-looking. So what does it say about Fox News, whose popularity took a hit over its election night coverage, that all of a sudden, it's moving its obvious #NeverTrumpers away from the broadcast action as it seeks to regain market share?

"Here's a tweet from NewsMax's Emerald Robinson, outlining a rough pattern:

Donna Brazile is out at Fox. Juan Williams has been minimized. Jedediah Bila

  was cut last week. Martha McCallum minimized. Melissa Francis gone.

      Bill Sammon gone. Chris Stirewalt gone. 

The Never Trumpers are paying the price for hitting the iceberg on election night.

Almost forgot to mention: Leland Vittert and Kristin Fisher were let go at Fox News the same week in May. That’s quite the body count. Marie Harf and Chris Wallace are probably sleeping with one eye open these days. . . .

. . . "Yet there does seem to be a pattern of #NeverTrumps now losing dominance, even as Tucker Carlson continues to go strong, " . . .
