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.

Murdock discriminated against this woman!! He push a woman out for a prune faced RINO male. Murdock will soon be served with process and HE WILL BE DEPOSED FOR DAYS!! I hated the SOB since he sand bagged Trump in the first debate with his minion and maybe more? — MyGyn Kelly.

Isn’t it amazing how Trump has exposed these cockroaches. Everyone of those are in a state of CYA, scurry, hide, and blame others.

“she made numerous comments which were anti-Trump.”

Don’t watch her show and don’t really like her.

I doubt her departure has anything to do with Trump.

I’ve pretty much been boycotting Fox News, since Meh-again went crazy-witch, against Trump, at the first debate.

I’d actually stopped watching before that, when she was so giddy after 0zika’s re-*election*, in 2012.

I only watch when Trump will be on (like BOR, cough, tonight)...or, Hannity, or Judge Jeanine.

I’m like you....wondering how long before Murdock goes after Judge Jeanine. He’s on an anti-Trump rampage, it seems.

Also pray for Lou Dobbs....on Fox Biz....that Rupert doesn’t deliver a courier message to his house, too.

Who were the 3 FOX News personalities that had their contracts tied together that if one, or more of them were fired/forced out they could all go?

If I’m not mistaken it was Gretchen, Hannity and O’Reilly.

FNC is dead to me.

Also...wish Breitbart would buy OANN and have a REAL conservative network. Forget this Fair and Balanced cr@p (looks like Faux News already forgot about that)...and hit hard from the right.

We need at least one outlet/channel to stand up against all of the lefty ones.

The market is ripe for this.

Okay, here it is.

http://lawnewz.com/uncategorized/contracts-let-fox-anchors-leave-if-ailes-gets-the-boot/

Gretchen, Hannity and O’Reilly could all leave if Ailes was forced out.

So Gretchen is the first to go at gunpoint. Let’s see if the other two have the balls to walk before their offered a final cigarette and blindfold.

“More to the story.
Something else beside contracts and sex scandal is happening”

I agree. IMHO Gretta was one of the better hosts. It seems to me that the more Conservative people have been getting the shaft lately. I would love to see a Sheppard Smith go for one but that does not look likely to happen.

I’m on the same page. Caught Fox News lying way too many times. Don’t trust anything they say.

Their talking heads are always wrong and listening to them is a waste of time. I only watch interviews.
