The article’s by Major Garrett. I wonder why he left Fox. I thought he was pretty good.

I like him too. He left Fox for two reasons. First, he wanted to be home at dinner time with his children. (They're young.) Second, he wanted to return to his roots. He loves to write - and he's quite good at it, IMO.

Although Major never implied it, I wondered when he resigned if he was also tired of dealing with the sarcastic replies to his questions by Gates, who was pretty adversarial toward Major. When Major was the Sr. WH correspondent for Fox, the rest of the WH Press Corp was even more adoring of Obama than they are now. (Jake Tapper had not yet begun to ask the type of questions he does now.) I imagine it was a very frustrating environment in which to work.
