Fox News Veteran Accuses Network of 'Malpractice' for Ignoring Guilfoyle Scandal
Former Fox News executive Ken LaCorte publicly criticized his old employer for failing to report on the corruption allegations surrounding U.S. Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle. LaCorte, who led FoxNews.com until 2016, called the silence 'journalistic malpractice' driven by fear, noting that the network had not published a story on Guilfoyle since December 2024. This criticism emerged as President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio considered firing Guilfoyle over allegations that she solicited $100,000 from a donor to cover credit card debt in exchange for political access. While the Wall Street Journal led the initial reporting, other outlets like CNN and the Associated Press have since covered the potential dismissal. LaCorte argued that the lack of coverage harms Fox's reputation among its supporters, though the network did publish a brief update on the firing debate shortly after his post.
