Megyn Kelly, who arrived at Fox News 12 years ago as a television news neophyte but rose to become one of its two biggest stars, has decided to leave the network to take on a broad new role at NBC News for an undisclosed amount, people briefed on the negotiations said on Tuesday.
The NBC News chairman, Andrew Lack, wooed Ms. Kelly away from Fox News by offering her a triple role in which she will host her own daytime news and discussion program, anchor an in-depth Sunday night news show and take regular part in the network’s special political programming and other big-event coverage.
The move will herald a seismic shift in the cable news landscape, where Ms. Kelly had become the second-most watched host — after Bill O’Reilly of Fox News — and often helped define the national political debate, especially over the last year as Donald J. Trump regularly attacked her, at times in viciously personal terms.

An in-depth Sunday night news show anchored by Kelly sounds like a must view!

Great news! Now, with Tucker Carlson in the lineup, if they’ll put a decent conservative in Meagain’s place, Fox could have a useful and watchable evening lineup again.

She can go do a Dyke Photo Spread for GQ this time for all I care. I’ve not looked at her for quite a while. She’s not important in the scheme of anything, really.

The Liberals will watch her just as they support the Moslems: a common enemy.
Moslems and Liberals hate Christians
Kelly and Liberals hate Trump

Kelly has fallen to fourth in the Fox ratings, as I understand it—behind BO’R, SH, and TC.

The $15 Million a year she made at Fox is probably small change compared to what she will now get to try to create respectable image for the hundreds of viewers at NBC.
She will also get to dish on Trump with no push back.
