Fox News announced on Wednesday that it has rewarded Judge Jeanine Pirro with a permanent co-hosting gig on its ratings juggernaut The Five —even though the longtime weekend host has been directly responsible for what is arguably the network’s biggest legal headache in years. Pirro, who has been with the network since 2006, was named last year in voting software company Smartmatic’s $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News, several hosts, and associates of former President Donald Trump.

Watters, who rose to fame at Fox News for his ambush interviews on disgraced ex-host Bill O’Reilly’s nightly show, has seen his star rise at the network in recent years. Not only has he become one of the regular co-hosts of the top-rated late-afternoon roundtable show The Five but he has also anchored his own weekend show, Watters’ World, over the past few … [Read more...] about Fox News Names Jesse Watters as Permanent Host of ‘Fox News Primetime’
