He is the nicest guy and really didn't deserve this. MSNBC, get this guy a contract ASAP. I always enjoyed the media critiques on his show. I didn't always agree, but it was thoughtful without being nasty which is more than you can say for most of the Fox News shows. And I bet they wished him well as they slammed the door shut.

Why be nasty about it? "We didn’t feel the current talent would be capable of handling the new direction,” the spokeswoman told the Times. But Fox really can't blame Burns for pining for them. After all, they are kind of great. Probably the best Burns will ever have. It must be hard for him, you know? The spokeswoman added. “Not having a contributor agreement renewed is something that’s very difficult to accept.” The guy obviously likes working at FNC and feels hurt being dumped. On the other hand, WTF do you want Fox to do? Have employment at Fox for life? Give the guy an explanation and that's it. Move on. He's had a good 10+ year run at FNC.
