New York’s Gabriel Sherman is reporting that in addition to being a ratings and financial failure, Megyn Kelly’s interview with Donald Trump has resulted in her losing most of the leverage she had in her upcoming contract negotiations. Fox executives were willing to consider 9 million viewers a success, but Kelly’s supposedly mainstream appeal didn’t translate to the parent network, and she only netted 4.8 million viewers. It was, as one Fox insider told Sherman, “not good for her at all.” In fact, her boss Roger Ailes was apparently so tickled by the fact that he would not have to...

Because the local Miami Fox TV station, a station that regularly promotes Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, barely mentioned the interview! All of the local media in Miami search and cling and amplify any negative connotation they can put up on Donald Trump's candidacy.
