Pneumatic Kelly was chosen specifically to appeal to the misogynists, Gabe.

In the fallout since the first GOP debate, Fox News chairman Roger Ailes has found himself caught between Donald Trump, who has the full backing of Fox’s misogynist audience, and Megyn Kelly, the star anchor whom Ailes has nurtured and sees as the key to reaching younger viewers. For a few days, Ailes didn’t know how to handle Trump’s full-throated attack on Kelly, who accused Trump of sexism during the debate. Eventually, as I reported yesterday, he made the same choice he always does: follow the ratings, and mend fences with Trump. But that process has meant that Fox has had to mute its defense of Kelly, who is now watching uneasily as the Fox audience turns on her: According to one high-level source, Kelly has told Fox producers that she’s been getting death threats from Trump supporters.
While Trump barnstormed rival media outlets over the last few days, dissing Kelly and Fox at virtually every turn, Ailes remained surprisingly restrained in his response, even after Trump told CNN on Friday that Kelly had “blood coming out of her wherever” during the debate. Paralyzed by the volume of pro-Trump emails from Fox’s loyal viewers, Ailes’s only statement, released a day after the debate, said that he was “extremely proud of all of the moderators.” Fox’s famously aggressive PR apparatus has not gone after Trump to defend Kelly, and although Kelly’s executive producer Tom Lowell did send out an email to colleagues thanking them for their support in recent days, that support has been private.

Couldn’t be because Trump knows things that would be the total fall of fox news....could it?
Misoginyst audience? well ex-squeeze me...LOL
Lame stream media and it’s pundits never cease to amaze me.
Freegards
LEX
Leftist propaganda.
Star Anchor? How did she get that billing? Special talents?
Maybe she is taking some time off to get a boob job. That will attract more "younger viewers".
Is this New York Magazine? Oh, for the days of Ed Klein.
Yes, Ailes needs his “misogynist” audience, lol. That’s sorta how tv works.
Kelly is a misanthrope and maybe Dr. Frankenstein Ailes is regretting the monster he created.
People who go through life as an “either/or” type of person are a lot less happy than people who believe in “both/and” wherever possible. The former are fascists. The latter support freedom.
So the consumer deciding is a bad thing?
Yes, first phrase I noticed “Donald Trump, who has the full backing of Fox’s ***misogynist*** audience, ...”, and stopped reading right there.
Stopped reading right there. Why the heck does every article start out with an insult ?
>>> Fox’s misogynist audience
These guys at whatever don’t realize 24 million viewers tuned in just to see the first debate, not just their ordinary audience.
Way to go to describe these viewers with a huge infantile paintbrush.
relax and enjoy the early political theater, it will get serious soon enough.
Donald knows plenty.
Screw the consumer.
They had better take the NEWS WE BRING THEM.
.....AND LIKE IT!!
Or else.
Pneumatic Kelly was chosen specifically to appeal to the misogynists, Gabe.
It now appears that it was Roger Ailes who issued the Fatwah on Donald Trump and the cold shoulder for Ted Cruz.
Nothing at Fox News happens without his say so.
Me Gyn “Crowley” Kelly is just a down dirty HO, just listen to her on the Stern show talking about Sex and her hubby’s
package.
Me Gyn , Wallace and Bear worked over DT like a 3 way tag team from the WWE.
Poor Cruz here he is at the center in the Senate on every issue important to America and he gets asked about his personal conversations with Jesus.
Note to Ailes: Ted and Jesus are too busy to talk one on one. That said Praise Ted for doing the Lord’s work wanting to shut down Planned Infanticide
Aisle can go to hell and take his ratings and 3 stooges with him.
We didn’t get fair and balanced. We got stupid and biased instead all night long. Moderators are supposed to make sure the rules are observed and ask questions we want answers too. Not 10 year old DT answering obnoxious Rosey.
I can answer the question asked of DT. If you keep treating him at every debate unfairly GOPe he will run on the 3rd party ticket. That is for sure.
Because liberals (Marxists) cannot win on the basis of fact.
MegEgo Kelly was quite a show, that’s for sure. I think her discussing her breasts and husband’s penis with Howard Stern in the past kind of made her a bit hypocritical too.
