You get on the phone to NBC and you tell them we want the good plane! The Ted Danson plane!

Hey, let's get something to eat while they're fixing the plane.....they can reach us on this pager.....

Robert Downey Jr. wears "blackface," gets an Oscar nomination and gets hailed as having a career comeback.

Megyn Kelly says it's okay to wear "blackface," gets fired and has her career sent into freefall.

No matter what you think of Megyn, she isn't the story here. The story is the most incredible act of hypocrisy by the left I have ever seen.

HER 3 year price tag (reportedly $69 million) is already “sunk costs”.... so if everyone else is being re-assigned within NBC then they are saving little or nothing, in fact the re-org is probably costing them money. I have no use for her, but to sideline her while they are still paying out her guaranteed contract seems like spite, not an act of business cost savings. I seriously doubt they will get any better ratings in that hour. This is simply Leftard NBC execs posturing and venting.

One way to open a slot on the schedule is to dump that unwatchable bore Cucker.

She should have never apologized! NBC is made up of a bunch of weenies.

If only Megyn had thought to mail a fake bomb to herself, she might have been able to weather this storm.

[Most gold diggers probably just wish they were this much of a failure]


She’s a failure from a ratings standpoint, but her show is probably competently done. The real problem is that people don’t watch liberal channels for conservative content. That’s what Fox News is for. And at NBC, Kelly was probably handcuffed by her employers with respect to how conservative she could be. It’s not an accident that conservatives hired by liberal media companies immediately become less conservative. Some credit a kind of liberal mind meld. I’m inclined to think its job preservation at work. And I’m not saying this to criticize them. In the media world, it’s feast or famine. An engineer can get a job anywhere. A media personality is either a star or unemployed.

Whoopie? What about Ted?

He stars in a current NBC show called The Good Place. It is on TONIGHT.

They’re not weenies, like typical leftists, they’re cutthroats. If you’re not a fellow kool-aid drinker, you’re evil and you will be persecuted on every flimsy pretext they can concoct. If you are one of them, then sexual harassment, adultery, humor aimed at protected groups, etc. aren’t actual sins anymore. Just like being a Christian in a Muslim country. You aren’t afforded the same human rights as the majority because you’re considered less than human.

I tend to agree with you. I am not a fan of Kelly, nor of NBC and its slanted agendas.

But I become more disturbed every day that the MSM and social media have decided it is their job to tell us what we are allowed to think.

I think Megyn was trying to have a legitimate conversation about “dressing up” and “costumes”, etc., and that she was shot down for even questioning the whole “cultural appropriation” theme.

But I also cannot understand, if she walks away with $50,000,000 or more, WHY work? Why not stay home and be with your kids and family? She really has nothing to prove any more, as far as her “career” goes, IMHO.

I despise Megyn, but those who are howling about a comment wondering whether blackface is racist should bark in Hell for eternity.

Some employees have a lower threshold of termination than others. If she’d been getting big ratings, NBC would have let her apologize.

Actual blackface is one thing, but simply changing your skin color with makeup to resemble a character is not remotely the same thing as “blackface.” Ted Danson actually was doing blackface there.

Just hilarious how if you say a man SHOULDN’T dress up as a woman, you’re a bigot. But if you say a white person SHOULD dress up as a black person, you’re a bigot then too. There is zero intellectual consistency on the left. The idea that nothing but how they “feel” at any given moment matters is absolutely stomach-churning.

Fox & Friends would be stupid to add smelly Kelly. It's the Donald's favorite show. I think she's done. Another one of the Donald's enemies is ruined.
