Trish Regan, Fox Business host who dismissed virus concerns, will depart
The network said Friday that it “has parted ways” with Regan.
Fox Business anchor Trish Regan has departed the cable news network, two weeks after she was benched following an on-air monologue in which she dismissed concerns about the coronavirus as a “scam” fueled by enemies of President Donald Trump.
The network said Friday that it “has parted ways” with Regan, whose prime-time program was abruptly yanked from the channel’s schedule earlier this month.
The abrupt removal of Regan — a reliably pro-Trump personality who has twice interviewed the president — came as right-wing media stars have faced growing scrutiny for commentary that played down fears about the coronavirus and suggested that the illness had been overhyped by Trump’s critics.
