Author Gabriel Sherman went on with Steve Malzberg on NewsMax TV Thursday.
Sherman wrote The Loudest Voice in the Room in 2014 on FOX News President Roger Ailes. Today he told Malzberg that Megyn Kelly wants to go mainstream and is keeping her options open.
From the interview:
Gabriel Sherman: In the days after the debate all of the emails and messages that FOX News was getting from their viewers were pro-Trump emails. Roger Ailes and his executives at FOX were shocked at the volume of the response. And, they really didnt know what to do because their audience loves Trump. And yet FOX by all measures really hammered him. So they were sort of treating him with kid gloves until this interview when he came forward and questioned her vacation. Thats when they released a statement and compared him to conspiracy theories
Roger Ailes has never really faced an adversary like Donald Trump. Donald Trump doesnt play by his rules so Ailes does not know what to do. This week he decided to come out and hit him
Steve Malzberg: You also talk about in this piece the conspiracy theories that this is all setting up down the road the big Megyn Kelly Donald Trump sit-down. And this is somehow being, if not coordinated, discussed by Ailes and Trump
Why is Megyn Kelly not firing back at this point?
Gabriel Sherman: Well, she, up until this point, was the fastest rising star at FOX News. She was really becoming the face of the network. And, I dont think she wants to get down in the weeds and the gutter and play this kind of hardball politics.
Steve Malzberg: Because shell lose.
Gabriel Sherman: Or, she wants to, part of this is she wants to go mainstream. There was some talk before her most recent contract that she was flirting with CNN to kind of jump from FOX to CNN. And, I think she wants to leave all options on the table. If she gets down in the weeds and slugs it out with Trump that will hurt her brand.

Yeah, CNNI was a channel I watched often while working in Germany near Frankfurt in 1996. I remember liking Katy Haswell, the British newsgirl “anchorette”.

In other ways, she is maturing rapidly. LOL....your post reminded me of the scene in Cousin Vinny....her "biological clock is ticking" - but of course, Megyn's not worried about having babies.....

I have kept my tongue on this whole Megyn Kelly deal, but last night it sure seemed to me that she was siding with, or at the very least was sympathetic to the gun control nut they had on last night. That really opened my eyes to Kelly.

Bret is very pedestrian and vanilla and unimpressive on Special Report to me.

I really hate to see her fall after watching her climb all these years. But she's doubling down on her error. As a God-fearing Christian, I was offended by her snarky hit question on Ted Cruz. If she insists on climbing a broken ladder, she'll find herself at the foot of it eventually. And that would be a shame.

Kelly is now a poison pill. Ailes has to get rid of her before she takes down the entire FOX network. CNN, a network already wallowing in the bottom of the pig pen, is a likely destination for her.

Too late. Phat Roger Arse has placed that FNC wrecking machine into motion and has no idea how to turn it off.
This network will self-destruct in five-four-three...

CNN has Erin Burnett who is an actual journalist. Plus she is not hard on the eyes either.
I am thinking this is old news and that CNN found it's new anchor in Burnett.

She doesn’t want to go mainstream, Trump and Ailes are friends and she is getting booted out. IMHO

CNN has Erin Burnett who is an actual journalist. She is an actual journalist???
While at CNBC, didn't she say that George W. Bush looked like a monkey?
She left CNBC shortly thereafter for CNN who appreciates her "style of journalism."

Earlier this week I was on MSNBC, on Morning Joe, and I made a bad attempt at humor
I said something stupid, I just want to make sure I apologize if I offended anyone. I do have the upmost respect for the President, I hope he has a great weekend, and Chris, I hope you do too, Burnett said.
