Heres Why Elisabeth Hasselbeck Is Really Leaving Fox Elisabeth Hasselbeck caused major waves this week when she announced that she would be leaving Fox Friends after two successful years on the show. I am, as I said, taking a new position as CBO, Chief Breakfast Officer, at our house with the kids, Hasselback told reporters. And that does mean that in about a month, Ill be leaving my Fox News family. According to some sources, however, there is more to the story. Rumors are circulating that the decision could have been made after a pay dispute. This has been a common thread with Fox News. It is rumored that when anchors ask for more money from the network, they are often criticized and sometimes let go for doing so. Of course, these are always reported as mutual decisions, so its hard to point to a single cause. What do you think? Is there something Hasselbeck isnt telling us.
