(Angry Patriot) – During her tenure at Fox News, Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly were constantly at each other’s throats — often over her selfish attitude and need to make everything about her.
So, it makes perfect sense that O’Reilly revealed that her nickname was “Me-Again” Kelly, via Washington Feed.
According to O’Reilly, it was “always about Megyn,” which is not hard to believe. All of the drama surrounding Kelly is coming out in the open after she tore up her contract with Fox News, with some months still remaining on it.
Kelly was on a break from Fox News because of her negative comments about Donald Trump, which led her to talks about moving on to report for NBC instead — where her anti-Trump views and biased reporting would be more acceptable.
Now, she is stuck between a rock and a hard place because her new liberal bosses are already having problems with her, and conservatives have marked her as a traitor because of the disparaging comments she made while transitioning.
On NBC, Kelly is ruffling feathers as one of the anchors, Tamron Hall, is losing her coveted 9 am show time in order to make room for the Fox News defector. And Savannah Guthrie, who was on maternity leave while hearing about Kelly, is now back on the air with Matt Lauer, via Vanity Fair. Kelly thinks she had problems with Fox News, but those liberal folks are some testy people.
Even the American people are responding. A poll by TIPP showed that many Americans think the mainstream media are the main opponents in the policies of President Donald Trump. The liberal media continue to lie and attempt to destroy Trump, no matter what he says or does.
Fifty-five percent of respondents stated to TIPP that they are “weary from the media’s persistently negative coverage of President Trump.” And 54 percent stated that “the media has assumed the role of the opposition party, constantly opposing the president and his policies at every turn.”
Investor’s Business Daily is the sponsor of the TIPP poll, a group that is supportive of President Trump and against the mainstream media. According to the group’s findings, the only thing seen as lower than the media, in the public’s opinion, is the Democrat party.
To make things worse for “Me-Again” Kelly, Tucker Carlson’s show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, has completely replaced The Kelly File, and his ratings have gone through the roof. It’s currently rated as one of the top 10 shows of all television broadcasts.
Carlson is up 31 percent of total viewers, and he has an average of 3.28 million viewers. He has been raised up to 55 percent in the 25-54 age range with 695,000 viewers. Looks like O’Reilly was right: not too many people are missing “Me-Again” Kelly. I say good riddance!

For sure. But, then, it is obvious that hacks like O’Blowhard come to FR for their show prep.
I always thought it was naggin’ Kelly.
Guess in the case of O’Reilly, it takes one to know one.
Not so sure; Shep’s patron at Fox (Roger Ailes) is gone; he lost his 7 pm newscast, and anchors breaking news only outside prime time. He’s hardly an “A lister” at FNC these days.
But here’s the biggest reason Shep’s days at Fox are numbered. His last contract pays him $8 million a year, but that was based on him anchoring two shows a day and handling breaking news in prime time as well. Unfortunately for him, the anchors on air between 8 and 11 pm eastern have clauses in their contracts that allow them to handle breaking news during their shifts, so that makes Shep every less necessary as a talent.
So, Fox is paying $8 million a year for a 3 pm anchor. Won’t last; FNC has too much talent and there are plenty of anchors who could handle that time slot—and improve ratings—at a fraction of Shep’s salary.
And she left Fox News and has essentially not been heard from again. Good riddance.
Not a big fan of any of them, but I’m pretty sure that O’Reilly, Smith, and Kelly all suffer from the same strain of insufferability. So for O’Reilly to take offense is ironic in and of itself.
The difference is that if Me-agin was ever self deprecating, I must have missed it.
NBC has kept her on Ice so far and has not put her on the air. Maybe they’ll just keep her there.
FR was WAY ahead of the curve on that one...
TIPP poll bmk
Did she mean to post “unless it comes from me when I’m on my period”?
Her new hairstyle since the Trump dust up makes her look like a praying mantis about to devour her mate.
Yeah, clearly BOR borrowed her nick from FR.
I’m concerned for the welfare of MK.
She’s addicted to the limelight, and it has faded.
She should be on suicide watch.
her show was a regurgitation of earlier news... and non informative...
her husband said he wanted a wife ... and so did megyn
She started out on O’Reilly’s show in a segment called ‘The Kelly File’ which was carried on as the title of her own show. I think O’Reilly began resenting her when she was the chosen one to sit with Bret Baier for election coverage and not him. Bret was doing fine solo, without her. Often wondered if he liked having to co-report with her, thinking he didn’t.
Who?
I read here every morning and several times throughout the day.
One morning I read an article here and in the comments was the phrase “tinkers dam”.
Later that day a I heard the exact phrase from a conservative talk show host. Nearly drove off the road laughing.
