After Rush passed, Steyn just seemed to disappear from the guest host rotation. Did anyone ever hear an explanation why?
No. He was on just a few times, then he started doing more shows on Fox news, it seemed, and wasn’t on again.
Maybe he was contracted for more pay than the others would take? Maybe if he knew he wasn’t going to be replacing El Rushbo he didn’t want any part of it then?
The EIB gave him a strong, national voice. I haven’t watched Fox in over a decade, and I won’t. I read his newsletter and visit his website but it’s not the same.
In any case, best of luck to Dan.
I remember reading in a FR thread that he declined to be a guest host/guide. There was no reason given by the poster.
My personal hope then was that he would become the permanent “replacement” for Rush and that the EIB would not dissolve like it has done.
