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.

It sounds more like a bad negotiating posture. I don’t do job negotiations very often, but if i don’t like my gig, i don’t tell the boss. I look for another gig. get hired and then tell the boss i don’t like the gig. if he likes me he counters the offer if not bye bye.

Greta was very disinterested and didn’t even want to be there. It showed on the air. She was tilting very left and her viewers were leaving.

Brit Hume will get the viewership up and will hold the fort until they find the right person.

Newsmax owner Christopher Ruddy is a Hillary Clinton fanboy!

If you are willing to do streaming services, then Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire all carry OANN. Verizon FIOS carries it in NY, but not sure if that is true in all markets.

“How long before Hannity hears the knock on his door?”

I’ve been wondering why he hasn’t already tendered his resignation. FNC has become just another subsidiary of the DNC/Uniparty elite.

Did a bit more searching and came across this service - KlowdTV. You can stream this service on a PC or Mac (can do tablets and smartphones with an app), as well as via an app on a TV. Their base package includes OANN, Newsmax, and TheBlaze (yeah, I know, Beck is a loon, but his network is probably still better than the lamestream network news). This appears to be a fledgling operation, so it seems as though they are offering a trial period through the end of 2016 for their base package which includes the above networks. From what I can tell, they seem to be presenting themselves as a family-friendly option. Given that they are in beta, I'm sure there will be bugs, but I think I may try it out.

He certainly is. What does Greta know that he doesn’t want out in the public ?
Kelly has Hume on her show and was congratulating him. Made me Il. She should have been the one who was dismissed

You’ve got to be kidding. Hume is Kelly’s flame. Will NEVER watch the adulterer

Your scorn of today’s Lamestream Media is also mine. They are demonic and have no concern for the outcome to America their toxic sewage will create.
