How Megyn Kelly Became the New Star of Fox News
Variety ^ | June 22nd, 2015 | Ramin Setoodeh and Brian Steinberg

Posted on 06/22/2015 11:38:16 PM PDT by Mariner

Megyn Kelly is bucking the conventional wisdom of what it means to be a Fox News anchor. The take-no-prisoners newswoman isn’t afraid to throw hardballs at Republicans. She recently lectured Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul over his penchant for arguing with female reporters. She poked Jeb Bush about whether he would have invaded Iraq in 2003. She cornered Mike Huckabee for saying it was trashy for women to swear in public. Last year, she told Dick Cheney, “History has proven that you got it wrong” on Iraq. On Election Night 2012, she dared to question Karl Rove for claiming that Barack Obama hadn’t won Ohio, and it went viral.

I agree with you. Megyn herself is more Left than she is Right, but she gets a very nice check to deliver an equal opportunity cross examination to Republicans and Democrats.

Megyn could and would work anywhere, because she is NO conservative and because she can argue any side, anytime, rather convincingly. FOX just found her first.

She appears on FOX to have turned a little right, over time, only because that is the niche for FOX— to at least give Republicans a hearing. That’s their brand, as they say, and offering a hearing for Republicans is their bread and butter. Megyn is simply cooperating with the brand who hired her.

Julie Banderas is much better looking.

Modesty is dead. Cleavage and legs delivers the news now, on FOX, because it’s in the job description, except for Van Sustern. (And, see how she is mocked.)

Conservatives and even churches dumped modesty long ago.

If you and I or anyone else sees the no-clothes trend as a bit too much, even as debasing to the role of women, then conservatives will bite back as quickly as any liberal who is for turning social and religious tradition upside down.

Odd isn’t it, coming from so-called conservatives. You get labled as “jealous”, but not labeled as modest. Go figure where our culture went. Our side was in on it.

How did she become the star at Fox News? That’s easy. She started to show her liberal side.

I’ll never forget her skipping across the stage when it was announced Obama had won in 2012. Haven’t watched the skank since.

Like I said: Skank.

I long for the days when women posed for pictures like that they were condemned and called harlots.

I say again: SKANK

All the women on Fox News are whore wannabes. They dress like high dollar call girls. None of them has a pair of flats. All have 5” heels and mini shirts.

Fox used to say “We report. You decide.” Now it’s “We report AND tell you what we think.”

I have mixed feelings on Fox and their "anchorettes". The Fox “fair and balanced” format is really a mechanism to :(a) provide a forum for getting extreme leftist views to the public(b) giving credence to leftist views by the mere fact of publishing them./p>

I can take her or leave her, so much makeup, I would not call her hot, JMHO

I dont believe she is a Conservative, better suited to the View and may be were she is headed?

I doubt highly that she is pro life or pro family, when she speaks of Christians it`s always in the 3rd person

I like Hannity at 9 PM Live, now he is 95% only on tape

I agree, she is extremely professional looking and comes across as a sincere, friendly young lady. I really like Ainsley Earhardt also. Both her and Shannon will be around for a long time.

She is not that busted, must be a push up whatever, she said as much when they did her on SNL, that the girl doing her was bigger in the breasts

Hey very little is real any more, they all mostly have the filler, so not panning her on that.

Don’t really watch Megyn, but I have seen ‘Outnumbered’ in hi-def and it sure seems to me that there is some special filtering used to try to make the women look younger. On standard def tvs it does look like an extra layer of makeup.

She ain’t all that. But then neither is Fox.

But then, what do you have to compare Fox to, other than the criteria of your own. We might not agree wit you about what Fox News is or isn't.

Megyn Kelly is total leftist she just plays center right conservative on TV[.]

You can either supply us with documented facts, or else we can believe your statement is simply another libertarian waste of space. Which is it?

One America News.

Just because YOU don't know what else exists doesn't mean nothing else exists

She is no conservative, but few at Fox are, as they have proved by their generous contributions to Democrat candidates. Ailes pays all of them well, and the owner of the network, Rupert Murdock, doesn’t care how they vote as long as they bring in the ratings. The whole operation is a phony charade.

She is not that knowledgeable about Iraq or Afghanistan, and knows nothing about Vietnam. I was in Nam and Cambodia, my son in Iraq. We sneeze more knowledge about those places than she could ever read.

She is good on the law but sometimes doesn’t go the extra mile to complete an analysis. She totally missed the role and “Who” of outside agitators (mainly communists and black extremists) in Ferguson, NYC, and even Baltimore.

People at FR provided more accurate and timely information on this subject than she has in all her broadcast time.

When she is good, she is very good, but when she is not, she’s just average.

Still, I like her spirit and with a little coaching, she could be “the bomb”. Hopefully she will NOT imitate the bloviating, rude, and often ignorant Bill O’Reilly. I find that Greg Gutfeld is much more knowledgeable than Billy Boy, and more entertaining.

I like Sandra Smith on outnumbered, but the girls dont come across as someone you would meet at a Bible study.

I find the program pretty ridiculous
