They are really getting nervous over at Fox News. As their ratings continue to tank, fall behind MSNBC and are now basically tied with CNN, Fox News doesn’t want any of their “guests” going on their new chief rival Newsmax. In fact, it appears that not only is Fox News monitoring their guests to see if they are going on Newsmax, but they are also telling these same people to stay off Newsmax. As if Fox News can dictate where a freelance guest can appear.

Fox News is taking action to stave off newfound competition from Newsmax TV.
Producers on some Fox programs have been told to monitor Newsmax’s guest bookings and throw some sand in Newsmax’s gears by encouraging guests who appear on both channels to stop saying yes to the upstart.
According to Fox sources, producers were told to avoid some regular guests if they kept showing up on Newsmax after being encouraged to stop. Management’s goal: to remind guests who’s boss in the right-wing media world.
