Greta Van Susteren’s Surprise Exit From Fox News Triggers “Who’s Next” Talk
Deadline Hollywood ^ | September 6, 2016 | Lisa de Moraes

Posted on 09/06/2016 5:53:24 PM PDT by monkapotamus

In the wake of today’s surprise news that Greta Van Susteren had exited Fox News Channel effective immediately, chatter turned to whether it might be the start of a “key man” exodus.

Like Van Susteren, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Bret Baier have “key man” clauses in their contracts that allow them to leave if Fox News chief Roger Ailes departed.

Van Susteren very publicly expressed her support for Ailes after Carlson filed her suit, for which Van Susteren took heat in some quarters.

But other Key Man club members did as well. Hannity, for instance, wondered, via Twitter: “So why did u stay after such ‘harassment’ asking for more airtime? If u had a new contract would u sue? I doubt it.” Hannity also tweeted, “Why did GC send handwritten notes with smiley faces asking for more airtime after the “alleged’ traumatic incident?”

Greta may be mad that Ailes didn’t hit on her. I don’t watch her anyway, so no biggie to me.

I liked Greta - she was very good at actually investigative journalism...and I think she did very good at honest interviews of the Trump family. Must have pissed off the wrong people.

She’s a big $cientologist.

Glad to see her go.

I also liked Greta. I am sad to here that Brit Hume will cover for her until November 8. I have really grown to despise him.

She has been under the influence of Franklin Graham and Samaritans Purse activist for some time. After spending time with the Palins in Alaska she found faith

Oh good grief! It’s America, she can choose her own “religion”. It’s not like she’s Muslim. Scientologists don’t want to kill us, Mormon’s don’t want to kill us, Catholics don’t want to kill us. She has a right to choose.

Really? I hope so.

$cientology is a dangerous cult.

$cientology is a murderous cult. It’s not a religion by any reasonable definition.
Do some reading on the subject.

“She’s a big $cientologist”

She always seemed a little bit creepy to me.

I liked Greta too but well, if that’s what she wants to do, so be it.

I do wonder if she will do better anywhere else though. I have read Fox paid quite high.

According to Breitbart in 2015, she’s a cult member:

I hope she got out as it’s a murderous brain-washing cult that destroys families.

People don’t normally quit a job one day with no notice.

People don’t normally quit a prominent job at her pay grade without a landing pad.

So, where is it?
