Days after a massacre of Muslims at prayer in New Zealand, President Trump complains about efforts to "silence" Jeanine Pirro for her bigoted Islamophobic comments.
Fox News has no standards for its top hosts, a reality enforced by its most powerful viewer. mediamatters.org/blog/2019/03/1… 
Here Fox criticizing Pirro’s bigoted comments and quietly keeping her offair for a week but taking no other public action and not forcing her to apologize becomes “working soooo hard on being politically correct.”
Reporters asking Trump if he agrees with Pirro about American Muslim women who wear the hijab is now legitimate, arguably necessary — and likely to rend the social fabric because the president is a bigot.
Trump’s comments should also serve as a warning to Fox’s advertisers: When you get caught up in the crossfire of the network’s bigoted commentary, the president is going to get involved and make everything worse for you.
