There is at any given time in the television news business invariably one person more mistrusted and reviled by all the other mistrusted and reviled people in the business. This is whats called the Eve Harrington Syndrome, after the amoral and unscrupulous showbiz heroine in Joseph L. Mankiewiczs 1950 film All About Eve (the syndrome, of course, is not gender specific). At Fox, for star colleagues down to make-up artists and, seemingly, by common agreement throughout the television news business, Megyn Kelly is the eras most hardcore Eve Harrington casesoulless, heartless, shameless, avaricious, etc. When Trump picked a fight with Kelly after the first Republican primary debate in August 2015, he cannily singled out a target who colleagues might hesitate to rally around. Indeed, he succeeded in splitting allegiances at the networkwith many of her colleagues believing she had unfairly grandstanded in that debate. (Youve called women you dont like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals
.)
...For Megyn Kelly, at a price one person familiar with the negotiations put at $17 million-$18 million (practically speaking it would be hard for NBC to let anyone exceed Today show star Matt Lauers recent raise to $20 million), there was a prospective daytime show, with few models of success; a Sunday evening show, typically a loss leader; and a possible move for the hard-news Kelly into the soft hour of Today s 9 a.m. hour. Some observers see her inevitable destination as MSNBCfrom the top-rated news network to the lowest.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! She took a yuuuuge pay cut to possibly end up at MSNBC along with Brian Williams. No wonder Me-Again looked so pained on Election Night when Trump won.

As other have written, had Kelly asked Trump questions about the economy, Obamacare, trade, immigration, terrorism, or national security, she would have elevated herself in the opinion of the public. Instead, she shot herself in her whatever, and lowered herself to the floor slop level of journalism.
Megyn: How come you're mean to women Trump? Nice Megyn, nice. Enjoy your obscurity now.

“When Trump picked a fight with Kelly”
I thought it was the other way around - Me-Again picked a fight with Trump, and he hit back.

I have a different take. I suspect FOX wanted her gone, knows she’s absolute poison, much like Lyn’ Ted, Levin, and Beck, so they helped push up her salarary, dumped her off on MSNBC and now get the last laugh as MSNBC gets buried in a bunch of overpriced prima donnas. And Fox follows up with winner Tucker Carlson. Win-Win.
