Fox News’ host Howard Kurtz on Sunday urged the network to drop contributors if they are considering a run for office.

Fox dropped Dr. Ben Carson as a contributor, which Kurtz said was a good call.

“This was a smart move by Fox because a guy who’s more or less running for president shouldn’t be on a network payroll,” he said. “Which means Fox also faces a decision about former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who is openly weighing a White House bid as well.”

  2. They’ll hire 'em back once they lose.

  3. OT, but has anyone heard a peep about Ebola since the election?

  4. Except for GW in Dallas giving a hug to one of the nurses…

  5. I’m sorry, did he say “Which means Fox also faces a decision about former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who is openly gay…”?
