Megyn Kelly: Secret of her success
Politico ^ | August 5,2014 | HADAS GOLD |

Posted on 08/05/2014 12:26:32 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Glenn Greenwald wants to make this perfectly clear: He finds Megyn Kelly’s views “viscerally repellent.”

But the crusading privacy journalist has plenty of complimentary things to say about how the Fox prime-time host conducts herself on air.

“She has a lower tolerance for being fed incoherent tripe from her own side than the average cable news TV host,” Greenwald said in an email. “Most Fox and MSNBC hosts treat even

Recognition has come from viewers — she often comes in a close second to ratings king Bill O’Reilly — and from the press, too. Kelly, 43, was the only woman in media to be included in Time magazine’s 100 most influential people list this year.

Watch just a few of Kelly’s faceoffs and it’s not hard to figure out she was a lawyer before becoming a television journalist.

“She’s a very good questioner, and you can tell she’s an attorney,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), a former federal prosecutor who is now leading the House inquiry into Benghazi, said in an interview. “I think you always bolster your credibility when you show objectivity and when you are an equal opportunity questioner … No one is your client, you’re not protecting anyone. Obviously, when you’re attractive, you can get away with things that ugly people like me can’t get away with.”

Hmmm...I don’t know. She’s pretty in that FOX way and talks fast in that media way but I still don’t particularly want to watch her show. Weirdly, that ex-CNN lady, Greta, is more to my liking. Just my opinion.

Using her sexuality to get ahead and then be the first one to sue you if you gawk at her for more than 5 seconds?

.........I enjoy watching Megyn and truly have cut off Oreilly completely and just watch the clock until 8 pm when Megyn comes on.

All that said, anybody that doesn’t think her looks are part of her rating’s is smokin! If it were possible to quantify “how much” of her ratings were because of her exceptional good lucks and then subtract it from her total ratings the number you arrive at might not sustain her show.

I’m sure Glenn Greenwald would be her BFF if she was a lesbo or killed a couple of her offspring or burned an American Flag or protested against W...then she would be a hoot and Glenn would rave about her.

You say that based on what? I've never heard her say anything to support that. She's certainly smart enough to know her looks are an asset, and seems not to be one to protest someone paying attention.

Summary execution for sodomy was once upon a time the law of this planet.

Her looks probably helped her get in the door. After a short period of time looks are not enough for a company to keep you around, much less get promoted to a prime gig on FNC.
