Fox News has declined to renew contributor contracts for longtime political commentator George Will, Republican strategist Ed Rollins and actress Stacey Dash, according to a network spokesperson.

>

Veteran journalist Marvin Kalb, 86, and syndicated columnist and radio commentator Cal Thomas, 74, also did not have their contracts renewed by the network.

On Friday, Fox announced the signing of former U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage as a contributor.

OT, just for a sec - don't you live in Michigan?

Jerry Rivers is so fake, poor Juan is just not so bright but Bob Beckle is one of Sean's boyfriends. He slobbers all over fat boy even worse than he does Trump. FOX News needs to do a lot better.

Meh!    Fox no longer has to pretend to be fair and balanced.  Maybe the network can see if Keith Olbermann is available  :yawn2:

I actuly like Nigel and unlike Donny... I respect him. His political efforts where Brexit is concerned deserve all kinds of praise. IMHO he did England  huge favor.

These things go in cycles. Much like Sarah Palin, some of these names might continue to show up on the network.

Speculation at this point. His latest contract is about to be up and he's put his condo in NYC up for sale to the tune of $4.5 mil.

I was surprised to hear about Ed Rollins, the others not so much.

George Will said he was leaving the Republican party over Trump, then got into a nasty exchange with Bill O'Reilly over his book Killing Reagan.  So I can see how Fox wouldn't be too enamored with him these days.  He didn't kiss the ring.

I almost never watch Bill O'Reilly but occasionally spot Krauthammer on his show when zipping through channels.  I'll stop and see how Krauthammer decides to deal with O'Reilly's bullying and inane comments.  He handles it very well which I find interesting since it must stretch his patience to the absolute limits. 

We'll see how they all do as we inch closer and closer to a Constitutional crisis, which I'm assuming is looming on the horizon in one form or another.

Agree.  Will is 75 and Rollins is 74.
