Politics Megyn Kelly Is Leaving Fox News for NBC

Megyn Kelly, who arrived at Fox News 12 years ago as a television news neophyte but rose to become one of its two biggest stars, has decided to leave the network to take on a broad new role at NBC News for an undisclosed salary, NBC announced Tuesday afternoon.

The NBC News chairman, Andrew Lack, wooed Ms. Kelly away from Fox News by offering her a triple role in which she will host her own daytime news and discussion program, anchor an in-depth Sunday night news show and take regular part in the network’s special political programming and other big-event coverage.

The move will herald a seismic shift in the cable news landscape, where Ms. Kelly had become the second-most watched host — after Bill O’Reilly of Fox News — and often helped define the national political debate, especially over the last year as Donald J. Trump regularly attacked her, at times in viciously personal terms.

Ms. Kelly’s exit will upend Fox News’s vaunted prime-time lineup and inject a new dose of tumult just a few months after the departure of the network’s powerful founding chairman, Roger Ailes, who was ousted after several women made allegations that he sexually harassed them.

They're going to make her narrate the Apprentice.

I welcome the change. Cant stand to watch her. Only tine I tune in to her show is if there is another host for the day.

Dang Linc! You been reading my mail.

Chip Kelly should cohost with her. Then they could have the Kelly & Kelly Files.

Fuck yes, I am sick of Megyn f'n Kelly, she sucked so bad.
Put on Judge Jeannie Pierro! That woman is awesome.

The problem would be that who could tell who was the primadona and who was the bitch

That would be hilarious. Highly inappropriate and unlikely, but hilarious.

I think she is terrific.

 

[MarAzul]

Shit, they lied to us. She was on tonight!

Friday is her last day.

Thanks.

You watch Fox news?

 

[Stevenson]

You watch Fox news?

Sure, sometimes. Like I said, I think she's terrific. How do they say it? She's fair and balanced - but for real! And it's good to get the other perspective, right?
I also once appeared on O'Reilly's show, so it's got that going for it too.

Raising eyebrows among some critics, former CBS anchor Dan Rather is now teaching an online course focused on ethics in journalism.

I used the Kelly time to watch RT or China news for another view.
Use to tune in MSNBC but just can't do it anymore.

Meanwhile, Brian Williams is terribly disappointed he won't be "President" Clinton's press secretary.

I really appreciated Greta's work in getting that Marine out of the Mexican jail a couple years back. Obama might have had a hand in that but he didn't. Trump did his part to make the kid whole again. He deserves credit for that, at least I think so.
