FNC spokesman Brian Lewis confirmed his signing with the network to David Bauder. "Novak said the switch to Fox had nothing to do with finding a more comfortable home for his views."

"I don't think that's a factor," Novak said. "In 25 years I was never censored by CNN and I said some fairly outrageous things and some very conservative things. I don't want to give the impression that they were muzzling me and I had to go to a place that wouldn't muzzle me."

3. That would be classic if he left a set on Faux News!
I mean even more so than his meltdown on CNN... if he said the word "bullshit" on Faux, imagine all the neocons and religious nuts who watch that network 24/7 will be in comlpete outrage!

4. Cool! They're putting all the whores on 1 network that I ignore already!
No more hitting the mute-to-hurl button on Novak's big, ugly, sociopathic leer.
