Oh, no. I didn’t mean relacing him in the same format. Hume is retiring. Fox has a slot to fill in prime time. They’ll probably move up a long-time Fox regular into Hume’s slot and put Beck somewhere else but still in prime time. Sorry for the confusion.

It’s unfortunate that it wasn’t yesterday, before Faux news died from self inflicted wounds.

i am wondering if Bill Sammon might take over for Brit, he was recently brought on as Brit’s deputy in DC, from the Washington Examiner. I would prefer Bill Sammon to either Brett Baer or Jim Engle.

Thanks for posting ‘Why Brit Hume Will Quit....’

I try not to miss Special Report. imho, Brit is a true professional and one of the most objective anchors on TV.
I generally feel confident that I learn facts on Brit’s show. I especially like when Charles Krauthammer is a panelist.

I will miss Brit A LOT!

I wish FOX would launch a second conservative news outlet with less yelling and screaming, in other words, one without Bill O’R and Hannity. let the FoxDecibelNetwork keep Geraldo, too.

Neil Cavuto is still the BEST guy on TV news, ——unless it’s Chris Wallace.

"Shep is a killer in the ratings.

I'm sure he is funny, all right. I've never seen the kid with a straight face. To me, he's a nine-year-old trapped in a teenager's body.

Crap. I was hoping he'd avoid Fox. I dislike that channel and its tabloid drek.

Guess I'll have to start watching Fox again if I want to see his show.

No worries, I like Beck, and I have a Conservative Media Crush on Britt, I hate the thought that he is hanging up his teleprompter.

Glenn Beck is a incredibly good interviewer, he would be wasted on straight news.

Bill Sammon is good, was he the guy who quit TV news to become LA’s Director of Homeland Security?

Or was that John Miller?

Just noticed he’s on at five. Who is going to be watching at five? Most people aren’t even home yet.

Bill Sammon was WH correspondent for the Washington Times and then went to the Washington Examiner which was a new start-up paper here in DC. He covered the 2000 election, that’s the first i remember of him. So you must be thinking of someone else.

Glenn Beck and I share share a similar degree of brain damage.

I guess that is why I like him so much.

He can connect dots the yapping lap dogs of the Obama Media ignore or won’t cover.

Glad his moving to Fox, that should bring CNN viewing numbers way down.

I agree completely. Get rid the dummy Shep and replace him with Gibson.

Wish they would dump Shep now and get Laura Ingraham to take his spot. Shep is a pure nitwit liberal and lies like he!!.

Good! I can now reprogram my TV to skip CNN. Does CNN have any idea how this is going to effect their viewership numbers?
