Imagine that. Until now, both networks grabbed has-beens on their way down hill.
Guess Bannon is just too crazy for even Fox.
Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon will not be signed by Fox News or by CNN following his ouster from Breitbart News on Tuesday, according to the networks.
Fox News will not be hiring Steve Bannon, a network spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.
A CNN spokesman also confirmed to The Hill that they are not interested in hiring Bannon.
The decision by the networks comes after SiriusXM also said Tuesday that the former White House chief strategist will no longer host a radio show after it was announced he was stepping down.
"Breitbart News has decided to end its relationship with Stephen K. Bannon, therefore he will no longer host on SiriusXM since our programming agreement is with Breitbart News," SiriusXM said in a statement.

critical of trump and told the truth and what everyone who isn't a fucking dumbass can see clearly that they turned against him.

He talks a good game but has been mainly a 2nd tier performer, usually is found out and then has to seek another position.

(16,386 posts)8. Wonder if he'll create and a new media outlet?
Although I suspect he's not a terribly wealthy person. It would be entertaining to watch him continue to fail.
