I suspect Michael Haz is right, she saw where things were going, figured she made enough, and decided to call it day with Fox. <br /><br />She will come back eventually to TV. Evi L.

The FNC contracts have a provision that prohibits resignations within XX days of a presidential election; that allegedly forced her timing. <br /><br />But why?<br /><br />It's known that she cannot stand O'Reilly and Kelly, and that she admires Ailes. But Ailes is 76, and is he really going to start a new network at that age? Probably not.<br /><br />Unknown is whether she wants to change careers. Virtually all of her vacation time has been spent working with Franklin Graham's organization Samaritan's Purse in some of the poorest parts of the world. She and her husband built and fully fund a boarding school for orphans in Haiti. And she regularly speaks on-air about the conditins in Sudan and elsewhere. She has a heart for working with the poor, and perhaps the canonization of Mother Teresa last week spoke to her.<br /><br />She also talks about wanting to return to teaching law. Or maybe move home to Appleton so the commute to Lambeau (she's a season ticket holder) is only about 30 minutes.<br /><br />Whatever the reason, FOX lost its best on-air reporter/analyst.
