According to new reports, Greta Van Susteren did not leave her show on Fox News willingly but was abruptly forced out by CEO Murdoch.
Money.cnn.com reported: A sharp knock on the door signaled that Greta Van Susteren's time on Fox News Channel was over.
A courier arrived at Van Susteren's Washington, D.C. home at 9 a.m. Tuesday, hand-delivering two letters that said that Van Susteren "was being taken off the air" immediately, according to her husband, John Coale, who is a high-profile Washington lawyer.
Van Susteren was already planning to leave, but she thought she would be hosting her 7 p.m. program "On the Record" for a few more weeks.
It was also a message from Rupert Murdoch. Van Susteren has been one of the top anchors at Fox News for the past 14 years.
Murdoch, the patriarch of Fox's parent company 21st Century Fox, disliked her recent attempt to renegotiate her contract, and the unusual courier visit was a result of that, said one of the sources interviewed for this story.

FNC is turning into a cluster blank.
Breitbart News Network
More to the story.
Something else beside contracts and sex scandal is happening
I couldn’t care less about any of Fox new’s time slots anymore. Lots of other people are joining me it seems.
How long before Hannity hears the knock on his door?
When will the Right and Lovers of America and the Constitution get a hold of the airwaves and wench it out of the hands of these traitors?
Not a surprise.......she’s not anti Trump
Ratings drive advertising dollars.
No viewers equals no advertisers spending huge bucks.
The mask is completely off.
From the CNN Money article....
The messy breakup is the latest sign of tension — “chaos,” according to Coale — behind the scenes at Fox News.
Coale said Tuesday afternoon that there’s “possible litigation in the future” between Van Susteren and Fox. He declined to elaborate.
Fox News declined to comment on Coale’s remarks.
The network announced her departure less than an hour after the courier arrived. Van Susteren was not quoted in the press release.
Fox then deleted the “On the Record” web site, Van Susteren’s biography, and her pioneering Gretawire blog — essentially erasing her from FoxNews.com.
So Van Susteren took to Facebook to explain her exit.

What a cr@ppy way to let someone who’s been an anchor/employee....and, a high rating anchor....for 14 years.
Rupert is a d@mned, mean, old fool.
“Not a surprise.......she’s not anti Trump...”
Yep, and she probably told Murdoch what he could do with his orders to trash Trump. The games are just getting started.
Murdoch is losing his grip
Both mentally and operationally at the Fox Network
Fair and balanced is out and his kids are taking over and turning fox into a Leftist agenda driven net
Evidently, there has been a lot of “wenching” on Fox News already!
Last times I watched her, she made numerous comments whcih were anti-Trump.
She was too Trump!! Murdock is going to reap the whirl wind now. Prune faced rino Hume was pathetic tonight. This was part of the cave in to gretchen ( who ever she is) . 20 million? what a damned joke. Where are the lawyers?
Greta was fired as part of that weak capitulation to that old woman, gretchen ( whoever) !! OUT DAMNED RAGEOUS. The key now is to slaughter the ratings for Hume. TURN IT OFF.Tthis is RINO vs Conservative!!
Hannity is the only one left worth watching and he likes Trump. He must not be long for this world.
Yup. Faux was a tad better than the rest of the MSM but now it will be just like the other networks.
Let me say this also. Greta is going to sue the dog crap out of FOX!!! She has been defamed!!!!
FNC can shove it. Murdoch can shove it up his old smelly ass too. What a rake. I’m not even going to their website anymore. What a way to treat someone.
