Popular Fox News nighttime host Sean Hannity may leave the conservative news network as early as after this evening’s broadcast following Monday’s resignation of Fox News co-president Bill Shine, reports the Daily Beast.

According to the Beast, sources at the network state that negotiations between Hannity’s lawyers and an the the network could end this week with Hannity off the air by Friday. Another source said Hannity could say his farewells this evening.

Hannity is known to be very close to Shine, once saying the network ousting him would be the “end of FNC as we know it.”

The loss of head liner Hannity would be another blow to the network that recently dismissed popular host Bill O’Reilly and Megyn Kelly.

[RKP5637]

35. Yeah, like a turd that just won't flush! n/t

[Dream Girl]

2. MSNBC will take him! nt

[YOHABLO]

7. Don't give them any ideas.

[moonscape]

9. Uch, what I was going to say before I saw this. MSOX! Or

he's headed to the WH.

[LibTexan49]

11. God, No don't let it happen.

I surely hope not.

[mopinko]

40. if that happens, imma shoot my teevee.

and post it on twitter.

[Alice11111]

50. They are evidently signing Hugh Hewitt, but he isn't

Nearly as bad as GVS.

Where will DT get his intelligence briefings if all of his friends leave Fox?

[Botany]

3. Rush, Bill O, and Sean Hannity all gone?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

29. Rush is going??!!

[Botany]

30. From what I have read that clear channel is all but belly up and they host Rush.

"The parent company of iHeartCommunications [formerly Clear Channel], which syndicates programs by conservative talk-show hosts Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, appears to be headed toward bankruptcy.

"In a statement filed last week with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the federal agency charged with regulating companies that offer investments to the public, iHeartCommunications’ parent company, iHeartMedia Inc., said that it had 'substantial doubt' that it would be in business by the middle of next year."

[Wounded Bear]

4. Losing his protection, obviously...

[spanone]

5. like lemmings to the sea...

[Botany]

23. lemmings you say?

[spanone]

25. wow...

[cstanleytech]

43. I suspect alot of them will end up working for Breitbart and they will fit right in and have

long games of Twister involving the truth and how far they can stretch it though I recommend they consider the benefits of movie marathons of Disney movies specifically Pinocchio so maybe they could learn something.

[LibTexan49]

6. Hannity

Thank God and Greyhound he is gone! The stupid crew on the morning Show. Fox and Friends next please. Tucker Carlson also.

[monmouth4]

8. A female took Shine's job. Bwahahaha, I think he's scared of girls..n/t

[octoberlib]

10. Maybe he's gonna resign tonight?

Link to tweet

[colsohlibgal]

12. Bye Bye

Now no more Lumpy, awesome!

[Skittles]

13. fuck Fox News, Hannity, Shine, all those fucking perverts

they have perverted journalism too

watch Fox News flounder if they have to actually treat women like human beings

[NightWatcher]

14. So much winning

[gratuitous]

41. And so soon after getting everything they wanted

They have majorities in the House and Senate, and they have the White House. But instead of feasting on the fatted calf, it appears that all the old Fox hands are being turned out to pasture. You have to figure that they're never going to make as much again as they did during the years of their sinecures on Rupert's benevolent plantation. I hope they saved their nickels and dimes.

[Laurian]

15. I can't believe he'd quit. Where else would he go?

I cannot think of any other place where he could spew his vitriol and make the big bucks doing it.

[Boomerproud]

22. There is still his radio show, any job in Trumps' cesspool he cares to hang out it.

n/t

[Lochloosa]

53. iHeart Media is on the verge of going out of business. He may not have a radio show long.

[NastyRiffraff]

33. I bet RT TV would hire him n/t

[oasis]

16. The rats are leaving the stinking shit.

while the head rat in Mar-a-lago struggles to stay afloat.

[packman]

17. Dammit, I want him to keep his promise

of being waterboarded - seems I recall he said he'd do it to prove it was no big deal.

[More_Cowbell]

18. Wny are there negotiations?

If he wants to leave, let him leave. If Fox isn't forcing him out, why would they negotiate? I don't get it. Unless he has a clause requiring Shine to be there forever and ever.

[Miles Archer]

21. My guess is non-disclosure / non-compete agreements he might have signed.

Probably will take a nice check in return for keeping his mouth shut.

[DFW]

19. Sean Vanity leaving Fox Noise?

He must have socked away nine figures by now if he really is considering a move like that.

And HOW I wish people would stop calling Fox Noise a "conservative network." They are bestowing a hijacked term upon themselves that they neither fit nor deserve. Radical right wing, they are. Neo Fascist, they advocate. Conservative? They aren't interested in conserving ANYTHING.

[nolabear]

20. Are these people headed for actual state-run TV?

They certainly seem to be the superstars to that man and his followers.

[Gothmog]

24. Bye bye

Where will Hannity go?

[Angry Dragon]

26. Shine and Hannity secret lovers??

[kimbutgar]

27. I'm sure chump will find a job for him in his adminstration

Now if we can go after those idiot morning show hosts chump takes his talking points from. Poor chumpie will be lost!

[melman]

28. He was hinting last week that he'd leave if Shine was fired

I have to say it's impressive in a way if he's really following through on that. Surprising anyway.

[Demsrule86]

32. So he is being fired?

[underpants]

34. Where's he going to go? I doubt this. Fox News made him.

He was tending bar when they picked him up. Literally they just needed SOMEONE to be on screen.

He radio gig is in serious jeopardy - iHeartradio is on life support.

[bora13]

36. ladies and gentlemen

we have the new press sec.
spicey must be jubilant!

[BigBearJohn]

37. Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you

[C_U_L8R]

38. I hear he already has a new bit...

Who's on First.... with Bill O'Reilly

[hibbing]

39. He's the worst of the whole basket

A total tool and the half-truth king when he's not 100% lying.

Peace

[Enoki33]

42. Agree. Apart from knowing how to push the right buttons on

his listeners, he is basically stupid.

[John1956PA]

45. In 2004, Hannity mislead his radio listeners into believing US forces had found WMD in Iraq.

Hannity cited a New York Times article, perhaps the one at the link below, to make the point that the 2003 invasion of Iraq was justified for the reason that Saddam Hussein had indeed been pursuing a nuclear weapons program as evidenced by the U. S. invasion forces' discovery of stockpiled uranium. In fact, the particular stockpile of uranium discussed in the NYT article was addressed in the post-Persian Gulf War accord of 1991, and from 1991 through 2004 it lay dormant pursuant to Hussein's adherence thereto.

I agree with you that Hannity is a liar and purveyor of half-truths.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/07/world/reach-war-atomic-inspection-radioactive-material-seized-nuclear-plant-iraq.html?_r=0

The material came from Tuwaitha, an important location in Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons development program until it was largely shut down after the Persian Gulf war of 1991.

[BigmanPigman]

44. If MSNBC hires him I'll...

I don't know what I'll do since I have already exploded a zillion times since the election. What verb is there beyond "explode"?

[zentrum]

46. I don't think it really matters.

The audience will follow Hannity, O'Reilly and Limbaugh where ever they go.

They'll pop up on some new outlet or venue. Like vampires, they cannot be killed off.

They'll be unleashed since no longer under broadcast rules, and be as rabid and popular as ever.

I think us liberal science-lovers always underestimate how well liked these freaks are. They operate like a rage drug for them.

The only thing that will suffer is FOX News. And Murderdoch may have one less billion in his cache of mega-billions.

[elmac]

47. GOP TV has already accomplished its goal

of a total fascist controlled government run by a useful idiot. It can now shut the doors, turn off the lights.

[BumRushDaShow]

49. THIS. Mission Accomplished. nt

[yuiyoshida]

48. I hate this dork...

I will be happy to never hear from him again, but you know he will pop up somewhere.Even if its with Alex Jones.

[mr_lebowski]

51. Ailes, Bill-O, and Sean are going to start their own SUPER REICH WING outlet ...

They've got the bucks to do it and the name recognition. Probably give Rush, Savage, Ingraham, Coulter and Alex Jones all their own shows, maybe lure back Beck (is he still a thing?) ...

If Hannity indeed leaves, then that is exactly the kind of thing I predict is going on. Faux just isn't extreme enough, they've gotten too PC ... letting Shepard Smith occasionally criticize their heroes ... not burning Megyn Kelly at the stake for witchcraft ... oh, and getting rid of Ailes and O'Really ... just for groping a couple of girls once or twice, I mean ... what's the world coming to?!?

The Wingnuts need them a REAL propaganda channel that won't 'cave' to stupid things like 'advertisers' ... Ailes, Billo and Sean will bring it to 'em.

This time, they won't even bother with teh facade of being a 'news' station either, it'll be like a RW radio station, with the blatherers spewing lies and venom about the evil Dems and Libs and Welfare Queens and Muslims and the Lamestream Media and ALL DAY LONG one show after another. It'll likely by funded mostly by billionaires, not advertisers (other than maybe gun/bullet makers, military contractors, 'buy gold' hucksters, and dick-pill makers), so they'll be free to catapult their fascist propaganda, 24/7 ... and Faux watchers will leave for it in droves ...

[no_hypocrisy]

52. I wouldn't put it past Trump to start that Alt Right "News" Network while he' in the WH

and hire O'Reilly, Ailes, and Hannity.
