Now, to be honest, Megyn Kelly would have been the hottest star on the planet - demanding, and getting easily 100 million per year from anybody whom who asked! - IF (but only IF) she had taken down Donald Trump with her interviews, her "debate" tricks and attacks, or her follow-on interviews and continued media effects. (Megyn's replies and assaults on Trump were repeated thousands of times later by all other "news" anchors and pundits as they used those words to establish Hillary's agenda and themes. )

We are reminded in thousands of articles about how the first debate back in 1960 took out Nixon and crowned JFK as king. The national news media has been trying to repeat that power for 56 years in every election since.

You give Kelly way to much credit. Your claim of her
being able to demand and “easily” secure $100 million per
year MAY have worked from an the “after election” perspective.
Nobody would have given her $100M/ yr worth of credit
for taking out Trump at any time up until the general
election. She opened a door that someone else would
have opened at some point because she was the first
to have such a debate opportunity to do so. I
am not saying that she would not have liked to
have played a major role in taking Trump down
but nobody on the other side gave him a
chance from the jump, anyway. Isn’t it possible
that the biggest deal as far as the MSM was
concerned was that it was a FOX woman that
went after Trump? They would never admit it but
I’m sure that it was there to some degree.
