Bill Sammon is a former managing editor and vice president for Fox News , as well as an author and newspaper columnist. These books have been largely derided as overtly favorable to President George W. Bush and his administration. Vanity Fair critic James Wolcott listed Strategery among other related books on Bush written by "faithful holdouts in Bush's pep squad [who] are happy to have endowed him with superpowers" as "hagiography mash notes whose toothy gleam of triumphalism was almost blinding".

On February 27, , Sammon was promoted to vice president of Fox News and Washington managing editor. In January , Sammon announced he was retiring at the end of the month, with his position to be assumed by editorial staff members. On the night of the United States presidential election , Sammon had supervised the network's Decision Desk HQ, which had controversially declared Arizona for then-Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

Sammon's departure, along with that of Chris Stirewalt , was seen as retaliatory in light of President Donald Trump 's criticism of the network and subsequent decline in viewership. Media watchdog group Media Matters for America published memos allegedly written by Sammon while he was Washington managing editor at Fox News where he reminded recipients not to refer to the public option proposal in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act by name, but instead use terms like "government-run health insurance" or to use various qualifiers.

Another leaked memo showed Sammon had given orders for Fox News to characterize then- Senator Barack Obama as a socialist.
