Bizpac Review ^ | 1/14/2017 | Frieda Powers

Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson left his competition in the dust.

The network’s decision to move Carlson’s show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” into its primetime slot at 9 p.m. replacing Megyn Kelly after her departure, paid off in a big way.

"The sad thing is that she didn’t used to be that way. She was one of those people who are “changed” (and not in a good way) by success."

I agree. I liked her at first because she didn't talk over her guests like Hannity and O'Reilly. Then, when Trump came along, she decided she wanted to be part of the story, and it all went downhill.

I’d thought for two or three years that Meagain was auditioning for a spot on one of the legacy networks. When Trump came along, she saw her big chance during that first debate. Now Fox with regain the audience Meagain lost for them during the campaign and gain even more with Tucker in her old spot. Fox will make even more money, even if the owners don’t deserve it.

And, I’ve thought the same thing about Shep Smith. Maybe he’ll get his big chance soon and also depart Fox News. A further improvement if that happens.

Yes...they were hoping. Aside from Hannity & a few others FOX was no friend of Trump.

She and her flunkies were so smug and self-satisfied that night. They really thought they were taking Trump down and become the heroes of the establishment.

"Migraine Kelly has entered the Witness Witless Protection Program, also known as NBC."

Nothing But Communism viewers won't watch her.

Kelly was an average performer, but a pretty thing to look at.

Maybe because they seem to be so ubiquitous in the media these days, but I’m a bit sick of the blondes. Didn’t like Megan and don’t like that young gal that’s on all the time now either...name has slipped my mind. She is so annoying.

Yeah, too often he has an astonished look on his face. Megan’s face never bothered me.

Megyn Kelly is going the way of Karie Couric. Kelly is going to wipe out. Her career started to deteriorate when she went after Trump.In the next 8 years she will not get much media access and her colleagues at NBC will eat her alive.

Perhaps she'll wind up doing the outside weather report in Philly

“She destroyed herself with that one event.”


True, but in her mind, not so. She was auditioning for a MSM gig. She succeeded, but in reality destroyed herself and her career. She just couldn’t help herself.

That's probably true, she was setting herself up for a Clinton administration in a mainstream media outlet, rather than be cut out of access to Clinton at Fox. She guessed wrong.

Carlson was up 27 percent in total viewers for the same day last year, according to Accuracy in Media, and in the key 25-54 demographic, there was an amazing 45 percent increase.

The people have spoken. Loudly.

I like Carlson. He sets a good trap with his questioning, lets the liberal loons talk, while he sits there with an incredulous look on his face, followed by his fits of open laughter. Somehow he pulls it all off without coming off as smug, sneering, or self-satisfied.

I disliked her long ago when she did election night coverage in 2008. As the night wore on and it became obvious that Obozo would win, she was so giddy, giggling and juvenile one could easily assume she was either drunk, or she was a liberal lunatic in sheep’s clothing. I concluded the latter.

FNC owners still partly Non American. They are just shifting gears for the moment to boost ratings and income thru inauguration. You know lean the way that is best for their interests of the moment.

We need to support OANN and other truly news reporters. I used to have ability to watch OANN not so much these days but hope to again soon. I hope they expand into more ways of watching soon.

Benedict Arnold didn’t receive a very warm reception when he ran off to England - she won’t be loved and accepted on the dark side.
