A New York Magazine writer and author of the 2014 book about Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, "The Loudest Voice in the Room," said in a recent televised interview the cable station's biggest star, Megyn Kelly, may not be re-engaging in public disputes with presidential hopeful Donald Trump because she doesn't want to hurt her chances to move to a more mainstream network, like CNN.
Kelly, on the heels of widespread criticism of her debate night questioning of Trump after which the billionaire businessman called her a "bimbo" in a tweet went on what she and Fox officials said was a long-planned vacation. Trump, on the other hand, claimed her vacation was due to the fireworks she faced from her presidential debate questions about his previous treatment of women. As soon as she returned, he retweeted messages from Twitter posters that once again, called her a "bimbo." Various Fox personalities called Trump wrong for reigniting the dispute with Kelly, while Ailes came out and called for the presidential contender to apologize.

She’s hardly taking the high road.
Then Tomi Lahren can have the time slot.I hope not, FAUX will ruin her. She's WAY better than anything FAUX ever had.
Call her what you will ...... I think I’d hit that !
;o)
Snooter55, have you quit beating your wife yet?
That's a laugher.
A couple years ago I might actually have cared, but I don't watch Megs or Fox anymore, and I never watched CNN.
She will be the highest paid news host in history if she makes a move to CNN. Huge $$$$$. It would be a coup for the competition.
Who cares, she had her “Dixie Chicks” moment and she will fade into obscurity just like the chicks. She should have known better but she’s a narcissistic bimbo that thought she would rock DT’s world and she EPIC failed. She had such promise.\s
It’s not called “World Nut Daily” for nothin. No way Megyn leaves higher rated Fox for CNN...
And actual ratings say Fox is more mainstream than CNN
I was wrong, Kelly’s ratings actually are higher than anyone’s this past week.
