Megyn Kelly, superstar: Her new show on Fox News Channel has become a major hit
American Thinker ^ | 12/12/2013 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 12/12/2013 8:45:58 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The liberal media starts to take the measure of a media figure they must be afraid of. Make that very, very afraid. Dan Zak of the Washington Post has a long and interesting article on Megyn Kelly, whose new show on Fox News Channel has become a major hit:

It debuted just over two months ago, and so far its ratings among 25-to-54-year-olds have exceeded those of "The O'Reilly Factor" six times. In November, her first full month in prime time after years in daytime, Kelly was second only to O'Reilly in the overall ratings, which means she's the No. 2 person on cable news's No. 1 channel.

I have spent more time than I expected watching her show, which was given the best slot FNC has to offer, following O'Reilly's top-rated show. She offers compelling accept-no-BS interviews and hard-edged analysis in the style of the high powered lawyer she used to be before dumping that career in favor of something more rewarding: TV journalism. And, to be completely honest, it doesn't hurt one bit that she is stunningly beautiful.

Considering the politics of the WaPo, Zak's piece is very fair indeed. It is obvious that he is impressed with Kelly and sees that superstardom lies ahead for her. Bill O'Reilly is nowhere near retiring, but it is quite obvious that Roger Ailes, the guiding hand that built FNC from nothing into the most important news provider in America, has found the answer to the question, "What comes after O'Reilly?"

Zak provides behind-the-scenes views of the TV show, and also a glimpse of Kelly's family life and a review of her background. For Kelly fans (who are legion and whose number is growing by the day) this is must reading.

Dan Zak is writing like the drugged out gays, who live in mortal fear of a real woman like Kelly or Sarah.

Why do the gay mediots hate women like Kelly or Sarah?

It isn't just that Megyn is eye candy, it is that she is just as witty as the Leprechaun without being anywhere near as annoying and self-obsessed.

Code for: “Lets start digging up dirt on her and her family”
This is how they took out Glen Beck when he showed everyone about Acorn and Van Jones.
Glen hasn’t been the same since.

Meg will find it increasingly difficult to get the libs on her show. She cuts through the crap in a New York second.

ED Hill was starting to show her age. Megyn’s that younger-looking face they needed for the timeslot.

I vowed to never watch her show. But my husband puts it on. I gotta say, it’s pretty good.

I will never watch her show. After seeing a picture of her and other Fox News hosts at a homosexual event I am done with Fox News, and especially her.

Megyn is okay. She definitely is fearless and has good guests. Importantly she’s refreshingly humble and self-deprecating. My wife watches her religiously, so I’m guessing Fox got it right if they’re seeking the female viewership.

Thanks for the photo.

A younger male relative, who is 12, fell in love with Megyn, when she first came to Fox.

His dad and I have told his mother that her son has shown excellent taste and selection re women at an early age.

As expected

Megyn has greater intellect than O’Reilly and more balls. IO used to think O’Reilly just said stupid things and talked over people whom he disagreed to be “balanced”. It turns out he just isn’t that tuned in.

It would be great if women left “The View” for Megan K’s show - but I have a strange suspicion that her days are numbered...

I really like the fact that she actually lets her guests speak, which I think is a foreign concept to the Leprechaun.
