| WTF's happening? |
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.
Yanking her off the air without a chance to say goodbye was "a bit immature," Coale remarked.
It was also a message from Rupert Murdoch.
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.
The messy breakup is the latest sign of tension -- "chaos," according to Coale -- behind the scenes at Fox News.
Apparently Greta's attempt to renegotiate her contract pissed Murdoch off. Big time.
Get this:
The network announced her departure less than an hour after the courier arrived. Van Susteren was not quoted in the press release.
Fox then deleted the "On the Record" web site, Van Susteren's biography, and her pioneering Gretawire blog -- essentially erasing her from FoxNews.com.
Ouch!
Van Susteren then went on Facebook to try and spin the story:
Last Thursday night, I made my decision and informed Fox News of my decision at that time that I was leaving Fox News Channel per my contract.
Fox has not felt like home to me for a few years and I took advantage of the clause in my contract which allows me to leave now. The clause had a time limitation, meaning I could not wait.
Yeah, that's all bullshit.
Murdoch shot her in the back as she walked out the door.
ReplyDeleteThat's not being fired, that's a temper tantrum.
I wonder if Murdock will just rip off the side of Sarah's house with her studio in there!? Bwhhahaaa! I fucking hope so!
DeleteGreta a turncoat, boofukin hoo she got canned.
She will prob just go to Trump new network.
As stupid sarah will, that is if he isn't in jail!

3:04.. There hasn't been a studio at Sarah's for a long time.
DeleteShe can always go up there and work in the Fox studio in Wasilla.
ReplyDeleteOoooh. As a high ranking scientologist, she "pulled this in" (did it to herself) and is "downstat" (a loser).
ReplyDeleteGuess she might have to spend time and money auditing more body thetans out (get harshly interrogated and spend thousands to get rid of the things that are holding her back).
Greta, he's so pretty ;-)
ReplyDeleteNot to worry. Greta and Sarah will be headliners on the Trump Network. Of course, they'll have to flash a lot of leg and cleavage so no one pays attention to the crap coming out of their mouths.
ReplyDeleteAin't no one in this world wanna see those two old tranny-looking middle aged chicks "flash a lot of leg".
DeleteThere is no way in hell that Trump would hire those two old dried up hags.
Greta is 61; $arah's over 50. not any eg most people would want to see. Besides, they'd have to do a face shot once in a while and eeeeuuuuuuuuw change the channel.
DeleteI totally agree with you 2:58 PM
DeleteTrump will not hire either Greta or Sarah and for two entirely different reasons!
I have never cared for ms. Perfect (oj trial). Long before she was hand holding the skank and the "first dudette"!
ReplyDeleteSoftball lobber to stinky skanky Sarah Palin.
My guess is that she was well aware of ailes fetish's!!!
She was sacked! Another total faux POS!
She is one broad that didn't need to worry about advances from Ailes due to her physical appearance.
DeleteShe was a zero match to her highly sexual counterparts with whom she worked at FOX!
Plus, she was just mentally and socially non appealing!
You are correct! However you are more eloquent and gracious, then myself.I
Deletethink she is a fucking dog!!!! Put a bag over her head!!!!
She has been a Scientologist working at the Fox propaganda channel for 14 years and befriended Sarah Palin. I have absolutely no respect for this peawit. You can get a law degree and still be an overall cretin and mindless cultist. She is a case in point.
ReplyDeleteLet's see how this purge plays out. It is entertaining. What arises from the ashes will probably be as nasty and dishonest as the old Fox, just with different players.
ReplyDeleteAgree and it will be fun to watch.
DeleteI'm envisioning all the women departing, leaving Rupert with a bunch of cranky men. Have fun, Fox.
DeleteAll young, blonde and in short skirts.
DeleteSame old white guys, though.
If you work at Fox, the "truth" is twisted until it becomes non-existent.
ReplyDeleteWhy did her husband tell the courier story and she said the opposite on her FB page??? Couldn't this married couple get the story straight?
ReplyDeleteHe's a shark. He was connected to Palin for a good while.
DeleteI bet fox is terrified of her husband. Good man. But someone fox would be wary of. Because they're both smart.
ReplyDeleteGood man is he? He was Palin's lawyer for a while...he knows the family secrets.

I wonder what it was that Fox didn't like about her all of a sudden.
ReplyDeleteOr what it was that they liked about her 14 years ago.
Aside from vigorously defending Roger Ailes, at 61 she was probably way past her due date. They like their blondes young and attractive.
DeleteThe Palin Curse strikes again
ReplyDeleteWho cares, these people are overpaid for spreading lies anyway. Next we will find out she is collecting unemployment.
ReplyDeleteTrump won't even have to hire illegal aliens or "models" for his new network.
I bet Sarah is going to think twice about signing a contract for her judge show until after the election.
There is no judge show. No network was even interested. No, she's hoping for a Trump loss and a new endeavor. I suspect she tried to get on "The Apprentice" and was turned down.
DeleteHer judge show? No one but NO one would watch it. If, god forbid, dRumpf wins this thing, expect her not to have a place anywhere near his Cabinet. She's a dumb shit, and he knows it. Courted her for her base.
DeleteShe is rather 'base' as in the definition "being of comparatively low value and having relatively inferior properties".
DeleteShe roots around trying to dig up a ride to greater infamy with a passion greater than those truffle pigs. She had her hooks in cruz until she did the math and figured trumpy was a more lucrative target. Now that trumpy benched her she's going after franky the christianist cause he has more planes than trumpy. Plus, he grades his '10s' on a curve unlike donny who wants his surrogates to be attractive and shapely. The poor dear is hopelessly addicted to her fantasy of being someone.
Too bad she has no brain. She could be a legend in her own mind. Imbecile!
DeleteStoopid skank aka Sarah Palin!!!
What lie?
ReplyDeleteCan't believe how much has changed in the past 8 years. Fox News, Tea Party, and GOP presidential campaign all going down down down.
ReplyDeleteHow's that Donnie hopey-changey thing working out, Sarah?
So there's no mystery about why she was madly defending Roger Ailes against allegations she had no knowledge of... she and Ailes were negotiating her contract.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine who is going to want to employ her.
It's a crying shame that Sarah can't employ Van Suckeren on her very own TV network, the one that she assumed she'd build from that hilarious little blog she was too bone lazy to maintain.
ReplyDeleteIf you mean OANN, it's not hers. They just invited her to be a commentator on their RNC coverage, even advertised that she had accepted, and guess who wasn't.
DeleteI pity Sarah Palin and her dreadful BrisBull.
DeleteI don't, fuck those stupid Bitches. Enjoy your future irrelevance. It's funny though she could have had the world if Sarah was smarter.
DeleteHA HA HA! She thinks the world is as dumb as the typical fox viewer. Where ever she ends up, I hope it's radio, she's got the face for it. She doesn't seem to measure up to Pervert Aile's low standards, and she's just pissed that everyone else knows she was fired. Who else got her plug pulled without warning..... rhymes with arah heath alin, the quitter extraordinaire.
ReplyDeleteI didn't read all the comments yet but this could be the Palin curse striking again, perhaps a little late but nevertheless still working.
ReplyDeleteHer first public response was "I quit". No, hon, you was done fired.

LOL This Fox Lady kissed Alis and Palin ass. Goodbye you deserve it.
ReplyDeleteEvery idiot at Fox will fall.
Oh yeah!! I'm loving this news! After all the times she kissed up to the Wasilla gypsy grifter, her lies and right wing spin - all for naught! The implosion of Fox News is just too damn funny! ByeBye Greta - seems like the door slammed on your ass! Lol
