Report: Megyn Kelly’s Primetime Flop Wipes Out Leverage in Fox Contract Negotiatons

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.

Only a fool would tangle with Mr. TRiUMPh

What we see is the awakening of America, persons realizing they have courage, ideas, and opinions which demand a voice. He is the catalyst to throw America's apathy aside and once again show American's exactly who they are and from where they have come. He is truly OF the American Revolution era...when passions rode high, courage ran deep, and a new Nation was beginning to emerge. Even though we've experienced heartache and hardship in the past, what an honor and privilege to be experiencing this time in the dawn of a new chapter of history. To be living in this lifetime is filled with wonder and an experience in learning. Never before have we seen an election such as this. We are up close and personal, watching history unfold during OUR lifetime. How many of US feel as they, too, might be on the battlefields fighting the American Revolution once again? What an exciting time to be ALIVE! Each and every one of us is experiencing history in the making.

You know, there are a lot of FReepers who like Trump and are willing to go to bat for him.

But I love the way you two, V K, and HL27, are out there as vocal, eloquent, and super-enthusiatic fans of Mr. Trump.   Your words inspire us to love the man and to be very thankful that he's stepped forward to save America from corruption and heal our decaying society.

Every champion needs cheerleaders to stir the heart to greatness.  Thanks for being that for Trump.

Well thank you!!! I think we both feed off of each other, it seems we are in lock step with Trump from A to Z...

Thank you...

GO.TRUMP.GO!!! ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!

"I think Megyn is breathtakingly gorgeous in the picture (her book cover, upthread)...."

Yep, she looks very professional, business-like and journalistic, doesn't she.....

In the interest of "fair and balanced", I look forward to the next book by Juan Williams or Geraldo Rivera where they're posed on the covers with their manly attributes bulging out all over.

Sorry, I can't take her "tough ace reporter" fake gravitas at all.

As HL states, thank you as well. It truly seems as if prayers being said for years have proven fruitful. Strange, but the first time he ran no sincere thought was given the man. Now, whether it be a last resort, or realizing prayers have been heard and answered, he was to be accepted immediately as the man who would cause lightening to strike and immediate improvement over what had been seen for decades. And, having no experience like you in the image department...words are are the only tools available! :) Go TRiUMPh

MAKE AMERICA GREAT, AGAIN WTP would enjoy seeing US win again. It's been a long, long time.

United we stand; divided we fall and fail. One reason BO'B insists on dividing this Nation. The devil's workshop plays hoops.
