It was obvious that she was so much more than physically attractive. You could tell, by her questions, etc., that she was an incredibly intelligent woman. When I read her bio, it didn't surprise me at all because an interview is always so much better when the interviewer is well-read, well-traveled and well-educated, as she is. She is the type of anchor that we need. I certainly hope FOX hires her back because she was a definite advantage for them. I really miss seeing Linda Vester on Fox News.

I'm betting the Saudi family was no fan of hers when she was on Fox. We need more FNC personalities who can speak Arabic like Linda can.

That aside it is very reasonable and understandable that given a choice between working hard and doing TV News or working even harder to be a mother who is taking care of a young family that you would choose the harder and more important job of being a full time mother. You will always have time to work and never feel a regret but the time that you spend with your family makes every minute precious and time that you will always cherish. At the right time for you when you feel the need to return to journalism the world will be waiting for you. I still say that no matter what you ever do "There is no one bester than Linda Vester!!" Selfishly on my part you are missed! A Huge Fan Mike Toback Your journalist skills are sorely missed at FNC because lately they appear rudderless and drifting aimlessly.

I really miss you on FNC but like Scott, I admire your desire to be a "stay at home mom." I don't even like that description because it sounds as if a mother is merely sitting in the house all day doing nothing - hardly the same. It's nearly insulting. Regardless, I wish you the best and hope to see you on TV again some day. You were/are an intelligent, caring and lovely reporter. Thank you again for your comments.

So many women today do not see that this is the most important thing a mother can do to ensure their children are well rounded citizens instead of dumping them into the nightmare of daycare. Our family sorely misses you on FoxNews as you were the best host they have ever had when it came to straight news reporting. I do not like the recent entertainment hosts that they have hired with the new direction that FoxNews is heading down with entertainment "journalism". I really enjoyed your coverage of Illegal Immigration and the Iraq War. I look forward to seeing your return when your children are old enough to get on their own. Until then, we all will miss your intelligent approach to reporting the news with facts not gossip. Sincerely, Scott Linda:

Sorry to disappoint conspiracy theorists, but I really did choose to walk away from my television career to be a stay-at-home mom. You see, I started working in TV when I was 17 and worked my tail off for many years. I loved every minute of it -- but never settled down. Then in 2000 I met my husband and we started a family. I thought I could work and be a mom at the same time, but truthfully I felt like I was not getting enough of that precious time at home with my little ones. Friends thought I was nuts to walk away from a TV career, but I knew in my heart it was right. My bosses at FNC were very supportive of my decision, and we still stay in touch. I didn't make a big public announcement about all this at the time because it didn't seem important compared to the other pressing issues our country faces. Anyway, someday when my kids are older I'll probably resume my career, but in the meantime I'm here at home and loving it. I've also just produced a movie with (and about) my adopted son from Rwanda. (Yes, I adopted a Rwandan teenager after I covered the genocide there in 1994). If you're curious, the movie is called "Back Home" and you can learn more at the website, www.backhomemovie.com Hope you are all well and feel free to email me through the website! --Linda Hello all,

Granted, she is, or at least was, a personal friend of Kevin's from when both worked for NBC, but unlike Martha MacCallum (another friend of Kevin's who was given her own hour for the same reason), Linda actually has talent and intelligence. A shame, but at least Linda's children will appreciate her even if Fox doesn't. As for the show, Mike Jerrick and Juliet Huddy certainly are good at what they do, and F&F Weekend's loss - and even someone as good as Alisyn Camerota can't cover for Chetry's narcissism and idiocy, never mind Phillips's reflexive leftism - is Dayside's gain. In fact, the other Magee hire who deserved his air time was Mike, though even that hiring wasn't really Kevin's idea. It was the brainchild of Roger Ailes, who'd originally hired Mike for the long-defunct America's Talking network.

It's no secret that TVNewser is a huge fan of the 8 p.m. MSNBC program and its host. He makes an incredible deal out of any of the program's modest ratings increases, even though said program only averages about 400K viewers on any given night. And for Newser to point out that Dayside, which averages about 700K viewers, was the lowest rated program on Fox was just hilarious, albeit mean. Even though that statement was true, calling a program with an audience of 700K "lowly rated" while lauding another program with an audience of 400K makes no sense whatsoever. Cable News Viewer,

I think that Brettfan has the best analysis. Still I would like to see Vester return, perhaps to the weekend slot that has suffered a ratings decline since it was vacated by Geraldo. CableNewsWatcher: I don't know how long you have been reading both TVNewser and ICN but I have noticed a definite change in Stetler's website from when he was only doing cbale news in 2003 and early 2004. About 18 months ago, again as he always does by relying on unchecked "tipsters," Stetler ran what proved to be a phony story about an asbestos scare and scandal in the Fox News Channel building. Roger Ailes was perturbed commented that the TVNewser website is run by "someone who thinks he is a journalist" or something close. Since then, IMO, Brian has shown a bias against FNC. And his recent change of only publishing the 25-54 ratings on the front page (requiring a mouse click to see the overall numbers which usually shows an even more pronounced Fox domination) seems to be another indication of his bias. Spud has been much, much fairer in his coverage of the cable news scene. Spud: First off, congratulations on the Vester scoop.

BUT I guess if Spud dissed FNC, FNC would get pissed off at him like they did TVN. Ya’ll people have issues.

TVN isn’t any more pro MSNBC than I am pro FNC. Or course I don’t expect any of you partisans to believe that since you’ve already made up your closed minds.

They should have given the show to Uma Pemmaraju and/or Donna Fiducia when Linda left. That means more of the tired nonsense with Mike Jerk–uh–Jerrick and Juliet Huddy.

That's the typical attitude of FNC watchers...always hating anyone 'against us'. How bout this blog, so pro FNC and sucks up to the FNC PR people.

Maybe she didn't like what she was going to get or maybe Dayside gets cancelled or maybe they wanted Mike and Juliet to remain. I don't think she was wanting to remain a stay at home mom, not without having at some point made that statement public. Maybe it is coming. But that was long overdue. Linda should have said that say a few months ago. I really doubt that's the case. Linda was telling everyone her plans on her website and then abruptly quit. Maybe her priorities have changed, but it would be nice not to have her last statement on her website be I am coming back in a year when she is not. I am sure her leaving is part of the reason ratings have tumbled further. FNC is drunk to keep a show going that loses ratings.

She was the best and brightest of all the Fox anchors. But I understand her wanting to devote all of her time to her children and husband. Linda has had a wonderful and fulfilling career over the years and deserves the same now with her family.Watching her conducting interviews last year discussing Moms and careers, you could almost sense that she was ready to stay home with her three year old and now eight month old.

And he had to add a dig, stating that Dayside was/is one of FNC's lowest rated programs. Maybe that's true, but it still beat the pants off of every program shown on MSNBC, every program shown on CNN (except for Larry King) and every program on CNBC. And it's on during the day! Does he want people to sit at their desks at work and watch Linda and Mike/Juliet? Anderson Cooper, Olbermann and Matthews would kill for the ratings of this "lowly rated" program.

But seriously, it's too bad. I hardly watch Dayside, but I've read on other sites that people really liked Linda more than M &amp; J, and that the ratings reflected that as well.

She gets pushed out by the M&amp;J show. I guess staying at home is better than getting little or no air time. ahhh… She gets pushed out by the M&J show.
