Politico is reporting that Fox News called Rudy Giuliani to scrub him from their September 11 shows and tell him to go ahead and not expect any future calls in the process. Alas poor Rudy, now exclusively on Cameo!
Cutting ties with a figure so popular with their core audience of shut-ins, white supremacists, and shut-in white supremacists must have hurt, but someone — almost assuredly in the legal department — convinced higher-ups that losing Rudy’s stylings would probably hurt a lot less than making zero mitigation efforts in response to the gargantuan lawsuit the network’s facing from Dominion Voting Systems.

Remember, Rudy is a member of the Algonquin Roundtable of loons with PillowHead Mike Lindell and Krakenator Sidney Powell getting sued based on making up stuff about the company stealing the election on behalf of dead dictators and stuff. Meanwhile, Fox is staring down a Dominion suit (EDIT: worth noting that Fox is trying to get it dismissed! So keep up on how that’s going.) for their role in making the editorial decision to keep putting folks like this in front of a camera and finally someone with the network’s best interests at heart may have made this call to stanch the bleeding.
From The Hill:
A spokesperson for Fox denied Politico’s report that Giulani had been scheduled to appear on “Fox & Friends” on Sept. 11, but that person declined to comment on whether there was a ban for the former New York City mayor.

The news outlet reported that the Giulianis were told that the ban had come from the top of the network.
Don’t worry Rudy, there’s always Fox News Total Landscaping. Or as the rest of us call it, OAN.
