Report: Megyn Kelly’s Primetime Flop Wipes Out Leverage in Fox Contract Negotiatons
Breitbart - Big Journalism ^ | 5-20-2016 | Breitbart News

Posted on 05/20/2016 6:27:02 PM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Gabriel Sherman writes that the poor reaction to Megyn Kelly’s primetime FOX special, Megyn Kelly Presents, has spooked the news anchor as she positions herself for negotiations at the end of her Fox News contract–so much so that a phone call to her publicist led to an immediate hang-up.

From New York Magazine:

Megyn Kelly’s much-publicized broadcast special with Donald Trump was supposed to launch the Fox News star into the stratosphere of television anchordom. Instead, the widely panned show seems to have achieved the opposite result: It exposed the extent of her limited mainstream appeal. Kelly drew just 4.8 million viewers on Tuesday night, a number television executives say is a disappointment by any measure. Three senior executives I spoke with say an audience of 9 million would have been a success. “Not good for her at all,” was how one insider put it.

Another bimbo posing as a faux journalist bites the dust.

But 'bimbo's' too good a word for you, babe,
so I'll just bid fare-thee-well...

Move it over one channel to Fox Business. They do all the news, plus everything that matters in the filthy lucre dept.

Plus, Fox Business has Bartiromo, Varney, Dobbs, E-Mac, D-Mac, and Liz Klaman. Hard to beat that lineup.

She thought her hoo-hoo decided who became President.

She thought wrong.

I don’t watch the skank any more. In fact I only watch the Five and I’m getting to the end of my tether with them. All that they cover is news that I’ve already read on FR so why bother?

Ahh..Paula Z of Anna Nicole Smith fame. Meagain will more than likely end up like Alisyn Camerota. The days of her hosting an 'informative, creditable 'news' show are past her. In fact, both Alisyn and Meagain are very much sisters. Never understood the marriage of either. Both spouses seemed to be those of the 'pajama boy' variety. She goes, but they still have one of the best on board. Greta VS. She, IMHO, is one of the best, if not the best. That woman is working and when her show airs it is not one to be missed. If the afternoon show would be given to another, should MK leave, do hope that Harris Falkner is considered as a sharp shooting replacement. She rates up there with Greta. There will be no tears shed for MK abrupt departure. We might even hand out balloons and party favors. :-) Ya' don't mess around with Big Bad TRiUMPh and she attempted to do so. FAIL! BIG fail.

It was on the Fox network, not FNC. 9 million in prime time is Ok. But the margin on those “interview” shows are huge.

She did not deliver and I am sure there are some sales guys who’se first quarter commission checks are going to be light.

Yeppers. I was curious, but was too stubborn to watch. I despise that woman after all of her dishonest agenda.

I think megyn is breathtakingly gorgeous in that picture.

Nonetheless, I subscribe to that Shakespearean caution: The devil hath power to assume the most pleasing shape.

-—In fact I only watch the Five

I used to watch the Five, but Gutfeld became too snarky and think’s he’s as clever as Dennis Miller.

Plus, his anti-Trump rants are ridiculous, he claims Trump’s not a conservative, but he used to host all sorts of his homo buddies on RedEye. Now he’s just full of unfunny snark and concern trolling over Trump. Plus he was a constant pusher for Ryan and a hand wringer over how the TEA party was destroying the R party. P*ss on him.

I’m convinced he and Dana P are paid agitators for either the butt-hurt Bush’s or Clinton.

But at least with Juan (and Bob Beckel) you know they are dem’s (so I can stand them, and Beckel used to make me laugh at some of the goofy stuff he would say, he was comedy gold). DP and GG are just anti-Trump for the sake of being anti-Trump and I won’t cotton to that.

I went to Fox Business and only turn on Fox if Eric Bolling is sitting in for O’Reilly.

I can only hope they replace Smegma Keely with Mark Steyn.

LOL! You are quite right.

I had forgotten about Paula Zahn. She was a pretty girl, but what happened to her I wonder, at CNN.
