Megyn Kelly’s big move to NBC caused a stir on Twitter as people expressed concerns over her history of making offensive and controversial statements.
Following the announcement that anchor Megyn Kelly would be leaving Fox News to work for NBC, social media exploded with various reactions to the surprising decision.
As a Fox News reporter, Kelly has made some controversial statements in alignment with very conservative views, particularly on the subject of race.

However, many people on Twitter — including some fellow journalists — expressed concerns about her joining the NBC team.
Kelly has been at the center of a few controversies lately, starting with her heated feuds with President-elect Donald Trump during his campaign, followed by her sexual harassment accusations against former Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes, who was also accused by other female colleagues.
It seems that separating herself from the network is an appropriate move professionally and personally, however, moving to NBC — which is largely considered a more moderate to left-leaning network — appears to be making people question the ethics of mainstream media.
In addition to those who believe Kelly is racist, others also voiced concerns about victim-blaming comments she made about a 15-year-old who was assaulted by a cop.
Whether or not Kelly will shift gears to be more moderate while on NBC is yet to be seen, but it seems her Fox News reputation has already preceded her. She has much to prove to viewers who don’t believe her ideologies align with the network or its audience.

“EVERTHING’S RACISSSSSSSSSS”
I think NBC just pulled a “Katie Couric.”
Megan is disliked by people on both sides.
Negative ROI.
There truly is no such thing as racism. It doesn’t exist anymore as a distinguishing characteristic.
Since I don’t watch NBC (Nothing But Crap) News, I am glad to be rid of Me-Gyn from Fox.
Maybe Tomi Lahren can take her place and do better the Me-Gyn did.
NBC — which is largely considered a more moderate to left-leaning network — ...
ROFLMAO!!!!!!
THANKS DREW!!!
Pucker up Me-Again.
Al and Jesse are dropping their drawers and expecting a big sloppy kiss on their backside before you can pass “GO” and collect your $200 (X 100,000)
everyone is racist, santa is white!
I’m having trouble feeling bad about this.
Fox News would like to thank NBC for taking the shitstorm that is Megyn Kelly off its back.
Oh my, now her precious tolerant people don’t like her.
IIRC, Jesus was Jewish and St Nicholas was Greek.
Neither seems to be Anglo-Saxon.
I’ve always liked her better than most here did, just because I have the same kind of flippant attitude and smart mouth (I only hope it’s gotten her into as much trouble!) - but she isn’t well liked by either side. I think women envy or don’t like her for their own reasons, and she has shown her primary interest to be self-promotion which wears no better on her than it did on Ted Cruz. These same issues will dog her on the NBC network,especially the broadcast network where you find the “masses” rather than those who seek out cable news. But how many months does one have to work for multi=millions per year to be set for life? Which she already is, for that matter.
Poor Me-Again will find tolerance a hard virtue from the left, and viewers from FNC non-existent.
I hope NBC agreed to the 20mil.
Wait till they find out that without Bill OReilley in front of her, no one is tuning in.
Waste of NBC money.
Never saw that coming...lmao.
She’ll be 2017’s Brock Osweiler.
Instead of being an unbiased talking-head with a successful career, she decided to throw all her eggs in one basket and bet on hilLIARy winning.
If hiLIARy won, Megan would be a hero to the democrats and could have written her own news media ticket.
Now, everyone is bashing her- and rightly so.
