Van Susteren to Media: Why the Fuss?
Lawyer and TV personality Greta Van Susteren has a question about the news coverage over her upcoming job change: What’s all the fuss?
“It’s been everything from the New York Times, USA Today, the New York Post, the Washington Post, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, we’ve had every newspaper call,” she told the Post-Crescent of Appleton, her hometown, in a telephone interview.
“In some ways it’s sort of silly. I’m changing jobs, and I’ve got the entire media looking at it as though there’s something sinister or bizarre about it. I’m just changing jobs.”
Van Susteren, a CNN legal analyst during the O.J. Simpson trials, had until recently been host of “The Point,” a weeknight show created for her, and co-host of the daytime legal program “Burden of Proof.”
With her move to Fox News Channel, plans call for her to be host of a nightly talk show starting sometime after Feb. 1, depending on when CNN decides to release her from her contract.
