Some sort of shake-up at Fox? First Colmes, now Hume.

They are unrelated. The announcement about Brit was made a few months ago, and the article I posted was from a couple weeks ago.
Brit's contract is expiring at the end of 2008. It's possible that Brit would not have retired if Fox had offered a mega-number on a new contract. Seems a lot of media outlets have been cost cutting the last few years, so perhaps Fox figured that Special Report would be just as profitable with a younger, cheaper host. News is, after all, a business.
