Fox News suspends Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum

Fox News has suspended contributors Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum effective immediately until they decide whether to run for president.

Anchor Bret Baier announced on air late Wednesday morning that the network “has suspended its contributor arrangements” with Gingrich and Santorum for the next 60 days.


Both, Baier said, “have signaled possible runs for the presidency” and it “is Fox policy” for them to be suspended.

With the suspensions, the network has taken its first big step to address mounting concerns that it could run afoul of campaign finance laws and journalistic ethics by continuing to keep on its payroll people who are maneuvering to run for president. But the suspensions of two contributors also leads to questions about three others — Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin and John Bolton — who are also weighing their own White House bids.

Rep. Gingrich was being investigated by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct. Rep. Boehner was chairman of the House Republican Conference. The participants discussed strategy regarding an expected Ethics Subcommittee announcement of Rep. Gingrich’s agreement to accept a reprimand and to pay a fine in exchange for the committee’s promise not to hold a hearing.
