"Kurtz spent the final few minutes of the media criticism show he created by thanking his loyal audience, his family, and Fox News, which he said had given him extraordinary independence and allowed him to be critical of both the right and the left during his time hosting the program. The show begins right here in the brain area each week, Kurtz said while pointing to his temple. I don't have to clear it with anyone."
"Kurtz, who first hosted the show on Sept. 7, 2013, said he was proud the show would speak to anyone, from The Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro on the conservative side to director Rob Reiner on the liberal side. So much television today is about picking a team and denigrating anyone with opposing opinions, Kurtz said painting his show as an alternative to that. Kurtz said he also enjoyed that he was called both pro-President Donald Trump and anti-Trump, often for the same comments."
Howard Kurtz signed off from MediaBuzz after a 12-year run on Fox News. He thanked his loyal audience, his wife and four daughters, and Fox News for granting him extraordinary editorial independence. He emphasized that the show sought input across the political spectrum, citing guests from Ben Shapiro to Rob Reiner, and framed the program as an alternative to partisan television. He noted being labeled both pro-Trump and anti-Trump for the same remarks and cited recent critiques of President Trump's actions. The show finished as the top-rated program in its Sunday time slot and its slot will be filled by The Sunday Briefing.
