THE TRUTH BEHIND MEGYN KELLY’S NBC DEAL (Compared to "All About Eve" Harrington)
Newsweek ^ | January 10, 2017 | MICHAEL WOLFF

Posted on 01/13/2017 10:12:27 AM PST by PJ-Comix

The Megyn Kelly story is about best laid plans going awry—ironically awry.

She bargained to be the biggest voice of the dominant news channel in America — and, as well, the best paid on-air personality in the history of television news. Instead, she’s become merely a contender among the knives-out egos in the contested (and ever dwindling) territory of network news—and at a steep discount to the brass-ring salary she might have had.

The Murdochs, father and sons, thought Kelly was going to be their way of cleansing Fox of Roger Ailes and his brand of diss-the-elites conservatism—and of letting them, after 20 years of Ailes’s control, set their powerful network’s agenda. Instead, the network, even without Ailes, now seems ever-more in the Ailes mold.

You are correct. Trump did not start the fight.

She came out to attack him and remove him from the field.

It didn’t work for her then, and she will become a has been.

I remember our pearl clutchers crying moaning after Trump leveled her, that he had lost the primary because of his rudeness.

They were wrong then and are still wrong, when they snipe at him.

Who cares? She’s gone to MSNBCDEFG and won’t be seen anymore - out of sight, out of mind.

“Who cares? She’s gone to MSNBCDEFG and won’t be seen anymore - out of sight, out of mind.”

You are absolutely correct!

The long knives at MSNBCDEFG will slice her into little meagains.

What does the DEFG stand for.

Thanks and have a great day!

I personally don’t like what you did here. I may have to redeem and defend myself in public.

I suggest ‘bo’.

Capitalized, BO, is the dog.

I just looked but couldn’t find a picture of her crying. My elderly aunt says “She looks like she’s a call girl in Las Vegas”. Lol

Williams is definitely an idiot. I think Beckel is back on the sauce.

Megyn: How come you're mean to women Trump? Nice Megyn, nice. Enjoy your obscurity now.

I think what was subtle and missed by many, was Trump's retort at the end of that back and forth with Megyn at the debate. Trump more or less said we need less political correctness in America, and we need... brains. That may have been an additional slap-down on the b*tch. She is an overpaid idiot.

Howard Kurtz on Fox News Media Buzz show said that Megyn Kelly turned down a $100 million contract with Fox because her regular show was too time intensive.

Too time intensive? Meanwhile for LESS money at NBC she is going to do a daytime interview show, a Sunday News show, and some soft Today Show stuff.

"Wish I had a picture to post of Megyn starting to cry when Trump won :) Winning is the greatest revenge ;)"

I love the look on her face in this clip. The moment she realizes Donald J. Trump is the next President of the United States of America and her career just went down the toilet.

MEGYN KELLY’S PRICELESS LOOKS OF HORROR AS TRUMP WIN BECOMES INEVITABLE

New is not news it is a business. At one time locals did the news as a public service not anymore.

How does a news show attract enough audience to pay these insane salaries when there is nothing interesting to report? Hmmnnn?

Bret said they had a plan for Trump on that first debate.

Yes he did, they hoped to bring Trump to a point that he would blowup on stage and they had security standing by to restrain and remove him on camera. His first question was a gotcha planned to box Trump into promising not to run third party, all that did was show all the rest as dishonorable liars.

You may be correct with regard to Kelly but, on the other
hand, you can’t possibly believe that questions about
Trump’s alleged attacks on women were not going to be
introduced by some debate moderator at some point. I
know if I were a candidate with dubious charges against
me hanging out there I would welcome the opportunity to
defend myself in a debate. The trouble with Kelly was
her accusatory method brought out the mad in Trump.
That’s my opinion, anyway.

Bingo!
That was the moment Kelly lost any credibility. It now has become all about her. During interviews you start to notice interjections about her importance. Lose-lose

One evening during the GOP Convention, she looked like she was wearing a Speedo—low cut, thin straps!
