(CNN) - Fox News has suspended the contributor contracts of both former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and will terminate the contracts on May 1 if both possible GOP presidential hopefuls choose to run for president.

Brett Baier, the anchor of Fox News' Special Report, announced on-air Wednesday that the suspension was effective immediately and for 60 days "unless they notify Fox that they are not running for president."

But then I realized that this was Fox News, and lying is actually encouraged.
