It seems like every time that someone in hot water at Fox News went on “vacation”, CNN media critic Oliver Darcy would hint that the “pre-planned vacation” was really a suspension.

Well, now Darcy is head on a “pre-planned vacation” just days after he called out his own network for kowtowing to Donald Trump in a town hall that was more like a long Trump commercial.

Darcy, took to his newsletter to try and tell us that he was not suspended and that this really Is a vacation.

This is what he wrote:

“I am heading off on a pre-planned vacation. Yes, I know what you're thinking. I've covered many "pre-planned" vacations before. But I can assure you, this is *not* that. It's my wife's 30th birthday and we are headed off for a few days somewhere special. Rest assured, I'll be back in your inbox on Wednesday. This newsletter will be on a mini-break until then.”
