Any rumor she's going to co-host a show with Anthony Weiner which will expose our elites' most closely guarded secrets?

Conservative talk show host Mark Levin on Thursday tore into Fox News’s Megyn Kelly over her contentious interview this week with Newt Gingrich.
Levin, who railed against GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump for months before grudgingly endorsing him in September, said on his radio show that Kelly was trying to impress executives at other networks because her contract is up next year.
"She is auditioning, in my opinion, for a bigger forum. That’s not exactly a state secret. ... Fine. But please don’t pretend you’re a journalist,” said Levin, who worked in Ronald Reagan’s administration.
Levin also blamed Kelly for "lighting the fuse" for Trump to be attacked over his behavior toward women.
During the first GOP presidential primary debate in August 2015, Kelly asked Trump about derogatory comments about women he made before his campaign. Trump responded by joking that they were all directed toward comedian Rosie O’Donnell.
“[Kelly] was so obsessed with Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump and things that were said back and forth, she set the stage for what became month after month of vicious personal, nasty attacks, and she’s doing it again,” Levin said.
Trump harshly attacked Kelly in the aftermath of the debate. They reached a truce in 2016, with Kelly even interviewing Trump for a Fox TV network special in May.
Kelly’s contentious interview with Gingrich on Wednesday night went viral after the former Speaker accused Kelly of being "fascinated with sex” regarding her coverage of Trump.
Kelly retorted that her show covered Hillary Clinton
scandals and substantive issues surrounding the election as well. Indeed, the segment after Gingrich’s interview featured Kelly exploring the latest WikiLeaks releases of emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.
“There was no news. There was regurgitation — 14 days before an election," Levin said of the interview.
"If this is the future of Fox, then Fox will be dead. Because this kind of National Enquirer stuff dressed up as journalism doesn’t fly.”
Kelly's representatives are seeking an annual salary of $20 million in negotiations with Fox, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The 45-year-old former attorney is reportedly making $15 million in the final year of her contract, which expires next July.
21st Century Fox and Fox News Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch told the Journal he is hopeful to nail down a new contract with Kelly "very soon."
Mark who?
She’s going to be on the Dr. Phil show soon, to talk (at least in part) about how she was harassed by Ailes, and possibly Trump as well. I saw the promo for this particular show a few days ago, but I’ll be damn’d if I can find any mention of it anywhere on the ‘net.
Will this harpy be hosting on election night again?
To Fox executives.
Please be aware I used to watch your channel. For many years, I was a complete fan.
I have stopped completely. If you get rid of that bimbo, I will try again.
I don’t know what in the world happened, over there.
Hat check girl at one of Trump’s hotels?
And here I thought Me-Again’s auditions only required her to spread her legs.
F Mark Levin and Megyn Kelly, two Esablishment hacks who deserve each other.
Wonder how her bosses at FNC will appreciate her tank in ratings? She’s a legend in her own bleached blonde mind.
I’ll drink to that ( and probably any other opinion you wish to express tonight)!!
same, but get rid of Geraldo, Perino, Hume, and a few others.
Kelly is not worth a dime a year. Her ego is so inflated I have no idea how that woman can get into the limo anymore for work.
She talks about Trump , maybe she needs to look at herself.
I think so, I will be watching a non-me-me-me-again channel.

I’ve given up the notion decades ago that news people are “journalists.” They are merely talk show hosts who have the luxury of no one talking back.
I don’t care if she’s got an opinion, hell look at who comes on after her. Hannity makes no secret of not being a news program. Nor does O’Reilly although he panders to make people think he’s obejctive when he’s really just another yakker. But what is Kelly? It’s called the “Kelly File” after all, which suggests it’s an opinion show, just like the others.
THe problem is, they won’t draw a hard and fast line and the hosts want to shoot off their mouths as they please, but still expect to be treated as “journalists”.
She’s making $15 million and wants more? She’d be a fine fit at CNN. FOX should offer her a new contract at minimum wage.
Dump the cu**.
“21st Century Fox and Fox News Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch told the Journal he is hopeful to nail down a new contract with Kelly “very soon.”
So Murdoch is as out of touch as the rest of the liberal elites.
FYI, Mark.
