Rule #1: Use enough gun |
Megyn won't be far behind... http://www.al.com/news/index.s...ml#incart_river_home Former Fox News host Great Van Susteren's tenure at MSBNC is over. Van Susteren tweeted Thursday afternoon she was "out" at the cable network. Vanity Fair reported Thursday Van Susteren is leaving her "For the Record" show as of today. She will be replaced by Ari Melber. Van Susteren was at Fox for 14 years before leaving amid controversy surrounding late Fox chief Roger Ailes. No reasons were given for Van Susteren's departure from Fox but it's believed the host and the network were in financial talks over her contract. She'd been hosting her 6 p.m. nightly show on MSNBC for less than six months. "For the Record" - and its hosts calmer demeanor - had failed to gain traction on the network, even as it picked up viewers eager for anti-Trump rhetoric. Van Susteren will not appear on tonight's show. Melber, the network's chief legal correspondent and host of "The Point" on weekends, will take over the spot next week. Van Susteren's husband John Coale told CNN money she was "let go" from MSNBC, which informed her of the decision earlier today. "We're working out contract issues now," Coale said. In a memo to staffers, MSNBC President Phil Griffin said Van Susteren was a "well-regarded television veteran and one of only a few broadcasters who can say they've hosted shows at all three major cable news networks. "We are grateful to her and wish her the best," he added. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | ||

Another one that can thank O.J. for launching her career and making her millions. I think Greta can make her mortgage payments just fine. "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

I wasn't much of a fan when she was on Fox unless she was discussing a strictly legal issue, but she is way too far to the right for that bunch. Why they hired her in the first place is the question. Maybe just to show they could poach someone from Fox. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

or more insidiously, to thin out the Fox bench strength. I should be tall and rich too; That ain't gonna happen either | |||

Buy out the competition: hire them away, let them languish for a year or two, fire them. It doesn't make good business sense, but it makes perfect propaganda/agenda sense. "Crom is strong!

At least Phil Griffin was polite. Greta is like vanilla ice cream... kinda boring without the chocolate sauce. But she is professional, unlike..... Megyn! "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Morgan pretty much sums it up for me..... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I'd forgotten all about her. I guess I didn't miss her at all, if I'd have given it any thought. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

Me too. I watched her a few times on Fox but she couldn't hold my attention so I stopped watching her show. Same thing with Megyn. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

I read a while ago that Rachel Maddow claimed Roger Ailes, a mentor and good friend of hers, wanted to hire her to go to Fox News and basically do nothing, for full salary, to keep her off air.

I think the "Hammish McBeth" series is far more interesting! -------------------------------- On the inside looking out, but not to the west, it's the PRK and its minions! | |||

She came in right behind Shepard Smith on my least liked FOX commentator list. Maybe now we won't have to hear about her again. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

President Trump accused MSNBC's parent company on Saturday of firing anchor Greta Van Susteren for refusing to go along with the network's negative coverage of him and his administration. "Word is that @Greta Van Susteren was let go by her out of control bosses at @NBC & @Comcast because she refused to go along w/ 'Trump hate!'" Trump wrote on Twitter. Van Susteren abruptly announced that she was "out at MSNBC" on Thursday, less than six months after joining the network. She had previously spent 14 years as a staple of Fox News conservative lineup. When she moved to MSNBC, it was unclear how she would be received by the network's more liberal audience. But Van Susteren's ratings floundered in her first months on the air there, averaging one million viewers per night in June. Trump's accusation on Saturday that she declined to comply with MSNBC's alleged trend of "Trump hate" was the second time in recent days that the president attacked the network. He came under fire on Thursday after leveling a graphic and personal broadside against "Morning Joe" co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, including accusing Brzezinski of having a face lift. Trump sent another tweet about the co-hosts on Saturday, saying they are "not bad people" but "their low rated show is dominated by their NBC bosses." Van Susteren has used her own Twitter platform since the end of her contract to promote her new book, releasing in November, take suggestions on next steps from her followers, and promote a fund for Liberian children. "Don't feel sorry for me, I am fine. Feel sorry for someone who loses a job and has no savings and no options," she tweeted Friday. "My contract was terminated and it was within their right to terminate it." Link Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||
