Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) has made no public announcement about what he plans to do after finishing out his final term in Congress, but he has been telling Capitol Hill colleagues he may soon head to Fox News, the Washingtonian reported Saturday.
Two Republican lawmakers who have spoken to Chaffetz, as well as four House Republican aides, told the newspaper that he said he plans to take on a substantial on-air position for the conservative news channel.
This move may come as early as July, according to the reportover a year and a half before his term in Congress would end.

(129,235 posts)they freed up some $$$ to spend on replacements. Chaffetz would get a fraction of what O'Liely was paid, but more than what he would make as a Congressman.

(54,417 posts)There is nothing "conservative" about them (except for the hijacked label), and they do not broadcast news. They broadcast propaganda and a few lies (OK, more than a few) when they feel they can get away with it. There is nothing they seek to conserve. Not our economy, not our currency, not our environment, not our constitutional rights, not our natural wonders, and certainly not our former good standing in the international community. Chaffetz should feel right at home there.
