I wonder what she’s talking about?
Fox News host Greta Van Susteren has abruptly left Fox News after 14 years at the network.
Brit Hume will take over as the anchor for “On the Record” effective on Tuesday.
Fox News announced the departure of the long-time host in a statement released shortly after news broke of a settlement between the network and former anchor Gretchen Carlson, who had filed a $20 million lawsuit over allegations of sexual harassment from former Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes.
A network spokesman told USA Today that Van Susteren’s departure had nothing to do with the settlement.
Ailes departed the network over the summer in a move that shook up the cable news landscape.
The timing of Van Susteren’s exit raised eyebrows because of the Ailes news, and because it is unusual for a political anchor to leave just months before a presidential election.
In a statement, Van Susteren said that Fox “has not felt like home to me for a few years.”
I don’t know what the issues were of course. But you can imagine what they might be.
