The liberal media is buzzing today with speculation on the future of Fox News star Greta Van Susteren.

Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Greta Van Susteren make up the most powerful evening lineup on all of cable news.

Greta goes head to head with Anderson Cooper each week night and no matter what CNN’s deceptive ads claim, Greta blows Coop out of the water every night.

As a result, the liberal media like to take swipes at Greta and frequently accuse her of having ulterior motives behind her interviews with Gov. Sarah Palin.

According to the NY Times, Greta’s husband helped Palin setup her political action committee SarahPAC and assisted her in setting up a legal defense fund to pay for the erroneous ethics charges lodged against her.

The truth is that Greta Van Susteren is probably the fairest interviewer and most non-partisan journalist on the air today. Her multi-part interview with Sarah Palin was one the most interesting and enlightening interviews of the year.

Of course, since Greta’s intention was to learn substantive information about the governor rather than trying to destroy her she lost out on the Walter Cronkite Award.

At any rate, the NY Times is speculating that Fox News may not renew Greta’s contract next year.

Ms. Van Susteren’s contract will end next year, if it is not renewed. Megyn Kelly, a morning co-host who is considered a rising star at Fox, is the leading candidate to replace Ms. Van Susteren at 10 p.m., according to three people with knowledge of the deliberations, which were intended to be private.

Like Ms. Van Susteren, Ms. Kelly has a legal background and Washington reporting experience. Mr. Shine said the depiction of Ms. Kelly as Ms. Van Susteren’s replacement was “100 percent inaccurate.”

I know Fox News can be ruthless when it comes to replacing on-air talent, but I just don’t see them letting go of Greta Van Susteren. I cannot imagine them allowing her to get snatched by another network.
