The naming of Watters comes two weeks after incendiary comments he made about Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Fox News is turning over a nightly hour to Jesse Watters, an irreverent and controversial co-host of its roundtable show “The Five” who is one of the channel’s most provocative personalities.
When asked by CNN about the violent metaphor, Fauci called for Watters to be fired. But Fox News did not apologize, saying Watters was suggesting only that Fauci needed to be subjected to tougher questioning by the media.Polarizing politics are making topical talk shows a rough ride for contrarian voices.
Watters also did person-in-the-street segments on O’Reilly’s program, some of which drew criticism for being demeaning to their subjects. When interviewing residents ofWatters asked if he was supposed to bow to greet them, if they were selling stolen goods and if they could “take care of North Korea for us.”
Fox News recently lost Chris Wallace, considered its most evenhanded journalist, who is joining CNN’s streaming service. Other analysts and producers have left the Washington bureau over the last year due to the more strident commentary by its opinion hosts such as Tucker Carlson.
