Brian Stelter of the New York Times is reporting that Brit Hume, the longtime anchor of Fox News' 6 PM show, Special Report, will be relinquishing that role after the conclusion of the current presidential election.

Citing a number of sources close to Mr. Hume, the Times reports that, at 65, Mr. Hume is seeking to reduce his role at the cable news network where he has worked since the channel launched in 1996.

More from the post:

Mr. Hume’s departure from "Special Report" would represent one of the most dramatic changes to Fox's powerhouse schedule since the channel’s inception nearly 12 years ago.

Mr. Hume did not respond to requests for comment. A Fox News spokeswoman would not discuss contractual talks.

May he rot in hell for destroying America, a nation that was once great before the NeoCons and their media empire Fox News destroyed it.

You blackhearted viper. What an abominable pronouncement. You need a constructive outlet to temper your vile pathos.
