In one newly revealed email, Suzanne Scott said she couldn’t “keep defending” reporters who did their due diligence because Fox’s bottom line was taking a hit from pissed-off MAGA voters.

In a different email exchange with Briganti and Fox News President Jay Wallace on Nov. 19, Scott seemed infuriated by White House correspondent Kristin Fisher’sof an unhinged press conference held by Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell.

“I’m getting major incoming on her editorializing at the top of Dana’s now and her dismissive tone and indifference to the audience,” Scott declared. “We need to manage this. I saw she just did a hit in Cavuto. I hope she didn’t double down I can’t keep defending these reporters who don’t understand our viewers and how to handle stories.”

The Fox News boss then bemoaned how the network’s bottom line had been impacted by the election. “The audience feels we crapped on [them] and we have damaged their trust and belief in us. We lost 25k subs from FOX NATION. We can fix this but we can’t smirk at our viewers any longer,” Scott added., testified that she felt “punished” by her superiors over her reporting on Giuliani’s presser, alleging she was denied hosting opportunities and reporting assignments.

Finally, in a Dec. 2 email to Meade Cooper, the executive VP of primetime programming, Scott made clear that anchor Eric Shawn’s habit of debunking false claims from Trump—and“I’m going to address this with you and Jay and [Managing Editor of News Tom] Lowell tomorrow,” she wrote. “This is bad business and there clearly is a lack of understanding what is happening in these shows.
