1. JESUS!

2. Notice he said he wants to go beyond "politics", not the news. He is telling everyone, I hope

that Fox has nothing to do with news.

3. Or not.

4. He got his.

Zero praise. I'm sure the stench in that place is horrendous.

5. He's a little too sane and decent for Fox.

I have to wonder if he's leaving by choice.

6. "had enough" - uh, no. He's no altruistic dude. - not sane/decent, either.

ON EDIT: To explain, "not sane/decent" - being decent connotes "doing the right thing" and he spent 18 years at Faux, giving it a tiny bit of sort-of credibility for cover. And despite the cover given to HIM as supposedly being equally hard on both political sides, there is NO doubt about his wingnut *slant*.

7. He was closer to decent than most Fox personalities IMO but...

..let a lot of propaganda slide on by. There was a footnote somewhere that he and Baier were both crossways with Tucker Carlson's outrageousness which might have had some weight in his decision.

And there are some people, regardless their political persuasions, with enough sanity, who accept the country is presently in the midst of a constitutional crisis and have accepted the pseudo-GOP party is not going to make an effort to abate it.

The question is whether or not Wallace will get around to saying he was simply sick of the Fox culture. Shepard Smith was more vocal with his departure.

But, for departures from Fox to suggest a political statement, they'd all have to leave...en masse.
