An interesting coincidence perhaps: I don't get much opportunity to listen to or watch Hannity, but I happened to catch a bit of his radio show several days ago, and a caller suggested he form his own network. Hannity mused that he had thought of doing so, someday*. In retrospect, the "mood" of his answer suggests to me that he knew this (Van Susteren's departure) was coming.
*Now, I do not believe Hannity has the ability to pull this off anytime soon, unless he could get a large group from Fox News (and perhaps elsewhere) to form a cooperative effort, with everyone 100% "in" with hearts, minds, and (especially) their wallets. That would be very difficult to do, and even more difficult to manage. But... peons like me can dream and hope for it. :-)
Apply face palm!
Hannity is a solid conservative, but he does own some annoying habits. I fear he will be another Glenn Beck. Strike out to form his own production company, allow ‘success’ to go to his head and fall flat on his face. If more do follow Beck’s pitiful failure, who would remain standing that we would find trustworthy? Fox ruined a good thing and overnight squandered the years’ of work from a dedicated individual. The dedicated individual, apparently helping them do so in his inability to keep his trousers zipped.
