Charles Krauthammer, the beloved and brilliant Fox News Channel personality who gave up a pioneering career in psychiatry to become a Pulitzer Prize-winning political analyst, on Friday revealed the heartbreaking news that he is in the final stages of a losing battle with cancer.
The 68-year-old’s incisive takes on politics of the day have been missing from Fox News Channel’s “Special Report” for nearly a year as he battled an abdominal tumor and subsequent complications, but colleagues and viewers alike had held out hope that he would return to the evening show he helped establish as must-viewing. But in an eloquent, yet unblinking letter to co-workers, friends and Fox News Channel viewers, Krauthammer disclosed that he has just weeks to live.
“I have been uncharacteristically silent these past ten months,” the letter began. “I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end, but I’m afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided on a different course for me.”

So sad to hear. He didn’t use a lot of words on TV, but they were all well thought out and to the point. Will be missed.
Shocking.
We’re all fated to die when we’re born.
The only sure fact about the human condition is death.
Prayers for his final days draw him nearer to his God and savior.
Yes, very sad. I have not always agreed with him, but he is a brilliant man who has overcome more in his life than most of us could ever conceive of doing.
Prayers for him and his wife and son.
Didn’t always agree with him but he’s a class act and I will miss him when he’s gone.
“Yes, very sad. I have not always agreed with him, but he is a brilliant man who has overcome more in his life than most of us could ever conceive of doing.”
Amen
I don’t watch FOX too often these days and didn’t realize that had not been on. Many prayers for you, Mr. Krauthammer and wishing peace and comfort to your loved ones and friends.
Sad news, yes. Must-viewing no. I gave up watching after the current host took it upon himself to parrot New York Times and Washington Post anti trump fake news headlines and polls.
Yes. A class act all the way to the end.
Prayer Bump
‘he is a brilliant man who has overcome more in his life than most of us could ever conceive of doing.’
indeed; excellent sentiment...
How we live is more important than how we die.
Our lives count no matter how short or how long they are.
How very sad. My heart breaks for him and his family. Charles will be missed.
Didn’t always agree with him, but had great respect for him and always was interested in his take on current events.
Well said.
Prayers for his wife and son and that he finds peace in passing.
Just watched this letter being read on Fox News.
