Megyn Kelly Is Leaving Fox News for NBC
NT Times ^ | Jan 3,2017 | Jim Rutinburg

Posted on 01/03/2017 12:20:24 PM PST by Hojczyk

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 salary, NBC announced Tuesday afternoon.

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.

Ms. Kelly’s exit will upend Fox News’s vaunted prime-time lineup and inject a new dose of tumult just a few months after the departure of the network’s powerful founding chairman, Roger Ailes, who was ousted after several women made allegations that he sexually harassed them.

Does her 5 year old daughter still ask her what a bimbo is? What did she tell her daughter; I never heard the response to this alleged news watching inquisitive little girl.

Buh-bye, and no one cares. (Pssst. btw, your new coworkers at NBC might say they care about your feelings.... but I’ll let you in on a little secret. They Don’t.)

She needs to go from Fox immediately. If she stays until the summer when her contract is up the atmosphere there is going to get toxic as hell!
