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.

Really?
That is real torture.
He just married Jerry Hall - that speaks volumes as to his mental state, IMHO.
I stopped watching them in 2012. Have never tuned back in. In a hotel lobby right now, Fox is on the lobby TV. That’s surprising public places usually have CNN or the other horrid channel on. Anyway, caught a few minutes of Fox News this morning.....cemented my decision.
Very sad. Greta was one of the few I would still watch on FOXNews. I pretty much quit them after Megyn Kelly made such an ass of herself trying to take out Donald Trump in that debate. I am through with FOX. That $20mill settlement was a shocker. Guess it’s true.
I have it on DIRECT TV...
I can’t get OANN either. Am thinking about getting Roku....wonder if Chromecast would work too?
Newsmax is dead to me after what they did to Dennis Michael Lynch (DML report). They took him off the air as he was on live TV. He is very pro Trump.
All the pro Trump people seem to be getting fired....wonder if Obama or Clinton (Clinton Death Network) are giving orders???
Something very strange is going on.
My town supervisor was on F&Friends this morning. Did you catch it, about the 9/11 memorial. Am curious as to how he did.
Apparently she was going to do a segment on Hillary’s health...
Yes to all you said.....Something strange is going on.
Starting with Newsmax and the DML report (Dennis Michael Lynch), who was taken off air while live. Pulled the plug, just like that.
All Pro Trump people. Orders from Obama????
Ruddy and the Clintons are buddies now...
Really???
Deeply sad.
I miss her.
I have directv and cannot find it. What is the channel number?
He was the only thing worth watching. Newsmax sucks. Tried watching several times. Very amateurish and low quality.
Kelly has Hume on her show and was congratulating him.
Makes me sick, too. Especially considering the rumored history of these two (barf).
Damn!!!!!! I just went through the channels and BOTH OANN and NEWSMAX have been taken off my DIRECT TV!!!!!!!
Maybe One America News is the first step in America taking back its airwaves.
Who owns OAN?
Well, I’d sure like to be part of it. I’ve got a little unfinished website https://sonsofconstitutionalliberty.com that someone is helping me build and I have a fire in my gut to spread liberty and freedom across America. America needs to re-learn and re-possess THEIR freedom IMO, in all its four forms: personal/spiritual, political, individual, and economic.
Didn’t Arthur Godfrey fire the recently deceased Julius LaRosa on air too way back in 1953?
