Rather amazing; amid all the furor about sexual harassment at Fox News, the affair between Hume and Kelly barely registered a ripple. Meanwhile, the network paid Gretchen Carlson $20 million after she claimed that Roger Ailes said he “wished” they’d had an affair, and O’Reilly’s shenanigans rose only to the level of phone sex and lewd comments—but Fox still wrote seven-figure checks.
From Megyn’s perspective, I guess it wasn’t harassment when Hume was helping her climb the ladder, only when Ailes hugged her “inappropriately.” And I guess the next question is what dirt does Hume have on the Murdochs?
And FWIW, I’ll go out on a very short limb and predict that Megyn’s NBC career will be very short-lived. That interview with Vlad was a disaster, and remember: It Was Edited. If Putin played her like a drum in the exchanges they decided to use, you can imagine how bad she looked in the outtakes.
A broadcast network news division is very different than cable. Only so much air time, and lots of colossal egos competing for a shot. It’s been reported that Kelly has already riled many of her co-workers at NBC, and they won’t do anything to help her. Two years from now, her shows will be history and she’ll be a full-time mommy or back in cable news.
I think you mailed it. Me-again went after Hume for her career. It’s probably all she knows about how to get ahead, whoops, pun.
She probably seduced him and then whipped him into getting her a better job. So she wasn’t going to scream harassment.
However, what BOR did was straight up harassment. Inappropriate UNWANTED sex with subordinates. Clearly offering a quid pro quo for getting hired.
There is absolutely no proof of an affair between them, just rumors. In fact, it was probably Hume spreading them.

Secondly, Kelly just divorced her husband with whom she had two kids? This alone tells me she’s squirrely.
Thirdly, I agree, she is such a light weight that she will flop. For one thing, why would anyone agree to be interviewed by her, when she’s a cheap shot artist?
Trump will never be interviewed again by her.
