"Well, we will find out soon enough if Kim and Brit start a New Conservative network."

I think that Brit will take a network anchor job... and he does have history at ABC.

"Fox is still 100 percent better than all the others,just not fair and balanced as in the past."

While I do agree, it becomes less and less so with every passing week.

"If you are let go,that is being terminated,fired for whatever reason,you are history. If she did not leave on her own she was fired."

Let me draw an analogy.. Ford and GM just had to lay off a huge number of workers. Some of these workers were offered an early termination deal. For Cash and Benefits, these people were persuaded to take a deal and leave their job early. They were not "fired", but with certainty they were "let go". There is a difference.

"Since I have never been fired in my working life, it is foreign to me."

I own three businesses, one which has been successful for 31 years. I have tried to fire myself on many occasions, but it just never works out! ;-)

Apples and oranges. Kim Hume's job is not being done away with,but the GM factory workers jobs are because they cannot sell enough cars to keep all those employees working,and still pay their high cost of Retirement and benefits for GM employees. Furloughing employees is a natural order for Companies that do not get a handle on their debit and credit ledgers. Kim Hume's position will have a replacement person because she was not furloughed,her job is still there unlike the GM workers someone will replace her in January,so she was either fired or Quit/retired. GM gave in to the Union Thug negotiators for Decades,and they cannot possibly sell enough Vehicles to make up for all the money they have to put out to retired or retiring employees. Baby boomers are ready,and GM is not.
