Dan Bongino, one of the most right-leaning hosts in the Fox News stable, is no longer with the network after he and Fox Corp.-backed outlet could not come to terms on a new contract. Bongino, who joined Fox News as a contributor in 2019, began hosting the Saturday-night program “Unfiltered With Dan Bongino” on Fox News in 2021. His departure comes just days after Fox Corp. agreed to pay $787.5 million in a settlement to Dominion Voting Systems after being accused of defaming the ballot-technology company by passing along specious conspiracy theories about its role in the 2020 presidential election. Bongino said on his podcast that his departure was not some big conspiracy and that there was no acrimony. He also mentioned that he was given the chance to do a last show this weekend, but he decided against it. Fox News said in a statement that they thank Dan for his contributions and wish him success in his future endeavors.
