Report: Toxic Megyn Kelly Dragging Down NBC’s Ratings
Breitbart ^ | Oct. 13, 2017 | Tony Lee

Posted on 10/13/2017 7:55:12 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Megyn Kelly is so toxic that she is reportedly dragging down NBC’s lucrative Today franchise as viewers are just tuning out NBC because of the vapid former Fox News talent.

According to a report in the New York Post’s Page Six, “Kelly’s hour of ‘Today’ is down 32 percent compared to a year ago. And ‘Kathie Lee & Hoda’ is down 26 percent.”

“Not only are ratings plummeting since Megyn Kelly joined the ‘Today’ franchise, but the numbers show Kelly’s lead-in has also affected Kathie Lee [Gifford] and Hoda Kotb’s show, which follows straight afterwards,” a source told the outlet. “They’ve taken a huge hit with Megyn as their lead-in.”

Another fake conservative believes the libs will love and support her if she moves to their side when all they really wanted to do was take her down. But she took herself down.

The Rinos best pay attention. She tried to destroy Trump and got destroyed. Mitch McConnell needs to look in the mirror and tell himself “The beautiful woman went after Trump and lost. And I’m ugly. What chance could I possibly have.”

Scapegoat for NBC, the purveyor of fake news.

You definitely are on to something.

NBC doesn’t realize that many of us adults are no longer interested in morning “fluffery” TV.

The demographic the advertisers want are either working or want to catch up on serious news before heading out for work.The kiddos are watching cartoon channels or getting ready for school, and many seniors are just not that interested in pop culture. They prefer cable news or reruns of old movies.

NBC is just way behind in figuring out that technology has changed our viewing habits forever. They are still functioning on the housewife-daily soap opera model, and that time is over, never to return.

I’m in no way defending Meygan, but it is quite possible that NBC is also losing viewers due to the “Fake News” attention given to them by the President.

She bought into all the praise the lefties gave her when she bashed Trump.

Megyn Kelly might be the biggest example of the power of Trump. She went after him in the first debate, and after that - he came out swinging publicly against her. Up until that August 2015 GOP debate, she was basically killing in the cable news ratings. She almost owned cable news. Once Trump started his defense of himself against her obvious attempt to take him out right then (with the blessing of the Fox News Brass), she has become radioactive. I’m sure nobody in the media would have ever believed that a guy like Trump could destroy a career like the one Kelly had. They probably thought it would all blow over. But, no. Those steady stream of Trump tweets about her - forcing Ailes to call him and demand he stop it - shows just what kind of power Trump has.

That’s probably why there’s such an urgency to take him out.She’s never been the same since going on her attack of him. And neither have many of the GOP who try to thwart him. Just look at the seething feedback given to people liek McConnell, Ryan, McCain and all the other swamp rats once they start attacking Trump. It’s incredible. And I submit the greatest example of Trump’s power to isolate and destroy is the total ruination of the career of Megyn Kelly.

Nah, she killed her own career. Trump just drew attention to the reality that she was no talent.

Yes, does the ratings drop have anything to do with NBC protecting serial women abuser Weinstein by thrown up road blocks and killing any stories exposing him?

Actually, Megyn ticked off her conservative fans, and Liberals never embraced her because she came from the “Evil” Fox News.

How NBC Execs didn’t understand this is beyond me.

NBC sucks anyway. To quote their idol, “what difference does it make”?

She’ll be crying all the way to the bank.

But there are going to be a few NBC Execs who are going to be feeling the pain very soon.

She should start up a show with Glenn Beck. They have a few things in common.

“How NBC Execs didn’t understand this is beyond me.”

They probably consulted Roger Goodell for advice.

“Although I became a YUGE MK anti-fan during the election cycle, I do believe she is being used as a scapegoat by the network. You’d think she would see it”

For 25 million a year, use me as a scapegoat.
