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!

Sally Kohn, one of the Fox News Channel’s most visible liberal pundits, parted ways with the network this week and turned up almost immediately on one of its rivals — MSNBC.
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.”
