Sally Kohn A Liberal Parts Ways With Fox News

 
Oped: Well I for one am glad...Sally was annoying to say the least...Sally's attire of the masculine bent and her silly snarky smiley quirks and diatribes reminded me of Sponge Bob...sorry folks but Sally never impressed me as a contributor of any discussion...she just pushed her LGBT agenda and that was awfully boring and annoying! She will fit in  well at MSNBC Obamas mouth peace for his LGBT agenda which is 80 % of his focus as POTUS..Asta la Vista baby...enjoy your new sand box! 

MSNBC wasted no time booking her Tuesday evening to discuss a commentary she had written for the FoxNews.com site, “I was an ObamaCare Guinea Pig.” The article praised the new health care insurance program for saving her family money in the coming year and drew a favorable Twitter post on Tuesday from President Obama’s account.
Ms. Kohn, 36, declined to comment. A Fox News spokeswoman called it “a gracious and amicable parting,” and said Ms. Kohn’s one-year contract with the network expired at the end of 2012. Even so, Ms. Kohn had continued to appear exclusively on the channel until Tuesday, when she dropped the words “Fox News Contributor” from the biography on her personal Web site. 

This month, Ms. Kohn gave a talk about how to bridge the country’s political divide at the Ted@NYC conference. Conference organizers described it online afterward as “fiercely personal,” sharing “what she’s learned from her three years working as a liberal lesbian pundit on conservative Fox News.”
Although Ms. Kohn was paid only for appearances on the cable network and not for writing for FoxNews.com, her commentaries have been a major draw for the Web site. Her Sept. 30 article, “Five reasons Americans already love ObamaCare — plus one reason why they’re gonna love it even more, soon” has received more than 226,000 Facebook “likes,” and has drawn nearly 1,200 comments, according to measurements on the site.
Dave Weigel, a political reporter for Slate, noted as much on Oct. 1, when he wrote on Twitter that Ms. Kohn “must be great for Fox News on social media. Constantly see her columns shared as ‘whoa, Fox News ran this????’ ” 

Rachel Sklar, a frequent news media commentator and co-founder of TheLi.st, an e-mail and Web community for women, of which Ms. Kohn is a member, said she did not know why Ms. Kohn and Fox had parted ways, but called Ms. Kohn’s departure from Fox “a surprise, because she has clearly been so well received.”
Ms. Sklar attributed Ms. Kohn’s popularity to her style: “She deals with people as people and respects their viewpoint even if she disagrees with them.”
