Former Fox News Exec Blasts Network’s Lacking Kimberly Guilfoyle Coverage as ‘Journalistic Malpractice’

Ken LaCorte, a former executive at Fox News, has criticized the network for what he calls "journalistic malpractice" in its handling of allegations against former host Kimberly Guilfoyle. LaCorte, who ran FoxNews.com for a decade, accused the network of ignoring a major story involving Guilfoyle, now serving as U.S. ambassador to Greece.

The Wall Street Journal and other major news organizations have reported on the allegations, claiming that Guilfoyle allegedly offered to help a Trump donor gain access to senior administration officials in exchange for personal legal and tax assistance. However, Guilfoyle's attorney disputed the authenticity of the messages, stating that the money represented unpaid compensation for speaking engagements and appearances.

The controversy has raised questions about Guilfoyle's future in the administration, with President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio considering removing her from her post. Fox News had reported on the allegations on "Special Report With Bret Baier" earlier in the week, but LaCorte argued that the network's response was inadequate.

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson also challenged LaCorte's explanation, suggesting that the omission of the story from Fox's programming rundowns came from senior leadership rather than middle management.
