Less than half a year after coming back on air after leaving Fox News, Greta Van Susteren is parting ways with MSNBC.

Vanity Fair first reported Van Susteren’s departure on Thursday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the situation, and Van Susteren confirmed the news in a tweet.

According to Vanity Fair, Van Susteren will not appear during her former Thursday night time slot and will be permanently replaced with NBC News legal correspondent and host Ari Melber.

  1. It’s already been too long. Buh Bye, Greta.

  2. I’d rather have Ari Melber any day of the week.

  3. Agree 100%
    Never watched Greta

  5. Is she gonna be Chiselin’ Trump’s next spokesperson?
