Geraldo Rivera, the veteran host of Fox News, has recently had his appearances on the Fox News program The Five abruptly canceled, sparking concerns that he may be the next victim to be axed from the conservative news network.
This development comes just days after Tucker Carlson was fired from Fox News, leaving viewers wondering what the future holds for Rivera.
In a tweet, Rivera announced that his scheduled appearances on The Five for both Thursday and Friday had been canceled, stating that he was unsure of the reason.
However, he did reassure his followers that he would be back on the show the following week. Rivera has not appeared on The Five since Friday, April 21, which also happened to be the last day Carlson’s program, Tucker Carlson Tonight, aired on the network before his firing that following Monday.
Rivera is known for sharing the “liberal” seat on The Five alongside Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov and former Democratic House Rep. Harold Ford Jr. He is regularly one of the most “outspoken left-leaning voices” on the otherwise conservative network. Rivera has been critical of Tucker Carlson in the past, and in a tweet following Carlson’s firing, he criticized Carlson’s “perverse January 6 conspiracy theory bulls–t.”
The sudden departure of Carlson from the network, as well as Rivera’s mysterious disappearance from The Five, came shortly after Fox News agreed to a $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems. Dominion sued the Rupert Murdoch-owned network for $1.6 billion over allegations Fox News and its hosts helped promote former President Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against him. As part of the defamation lawsuit, a cache of text messages, emails, and other exchanges from various Fox News hosts were released.
It remains unclear whether Rivera’s canceled appearances on The Five are related to the settlement with Dominion or whether there are other factors at play. Rivera’s absence from the program has raised concerns among his fans, who are wondering whether he will return to the show or face the same fate as Carlson.
Fox News has been under intense scrutiny in recent years for its perceived bias and promotion of conservative viewpoints. The network has also faced criticism for its coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 presidential election. With the departure of Tucker Carlson and the cancellation of Geraldo Rivera’s appearances on The Five, it remains to be seen how Fox News will continue to evolve in the coming months and years.
