Alan Colmes, the liberal half of Hannity and Colmes, is leaving the Fox News show at year's end - so Murdoch and his minions no longer have to pretend to be fair and balanced. Of course, they will anyway. Actually, Colmes has decided to leave the extremely highly rated two-guys-bickering-with-each-other-and-never-listening show, but he isn't leaving Fox. Here's the plan:
Colmes will continue to have a presence on FNC as he will serve as a liberal commentator on a variety of FOX News programming, including Foxnews.com’s The Strategy Room and continue hosting his radio program, The Alan Colmes Show on FOX Talk, a division of FOX News Radio. He will also begin developing a weekend program.
So maybe he just doesn't want to hang with sore loser Hannity any more. Watch the clip of him saying bye-bye and judge for yourself.
