Megyn Kellys big move to NBC caused a stir on Twitter as people expressed concerns over her history of making offensive and controversial statements.
Following the announcement that anchor Megyn Kelly would be leaving Fox News to work for NBC, social media exploded with various reactions to the surprising decision.
As a Fox News reporter, Kelly has made some controversial statements in alignment with very conservative views, particularly on the subject of race.

However, many people on Twitter including some fellow journalists expressed concerns about her joining the NBC team.
Kelly has been at the center of a few controversies lately, starting with her heated feuds with President-elect Donald Trump during his campaign, followed by her sexual harassment accusations against former Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes, who was also accused by other female colleagues.
It seems that separating herself from the network is an appropriate move professionally and personally, however, moving to NBC which is largely considered a more moderate to left-leaning network appears to be making people question the ethics of mainstream media.
In addition to those who believe Kelly is racist, others also voiced concerns about victim-blaming comments she made about a 15-year-old who was assaulted by a cop.
Whether or not Kelly will shift gears to be more moderate while on NBC is yet to be seen, but it seems her Fox News reputation has already preceded her. She has much to prove to viewers who dont believe her ideologies align with the network or its audience.

I want to get this off my chest. There in no way, Kelly’s style is going to resonate with Americans. She’s a turn off. Why? Because she’s mean spirited.
Look at the interviews by Barbara Walters, Greta, Judge Janeen and others. You can interview the person to make them look bad, or you can interview them so we learn about them.
Trump would be stupid to ever allow another interview of him by her? Why? Because we’ll learn nothing about the man.
I want an interview of our president to learn, where he grew up. Where he played. Where he went out for fun etc.
I want to know what is inside a man who has built an empire, and handily defeated a full field of formidable foes.
I see her as the biggest flop of all time. Fox got rid of her at the right time.
LOL. I would be so very amused if we have a couple weeks the Far Left crucifying liberal NBC as racist for bringing self-promoter Kelly on board at a stratospheric salary.
Well said.
Ouch! lol

NBC - No Brains Commentary.
HAHAHAHA!!!!
Mind your language, please; there are ladies present.
Fox had to find a way to dump her. Her ratings were still pretty good...albeit, Hannity’s was even higher than hers and O’Reilly’s were. That should have told them something. She was going downhill, and the ball kept rolling faster and faster the closer it got to the inauguration.
Fox and MeGyn, both, really had no choice but to make some changes. She was hated by her co-workers and by most of her audience. The writing was on the wall.
I have a feeling Fox is the one that ended up saying NO to the deal in the end.
She will fit right in at NBC. Chuck Todd is mean-spirited and biased, and he seems to draw an audience.
Yes, I agree Trump should never allow another interview by Megyn. I was never much of a fan of hers, but the crap she pulled on Trump in late summer, etc., was very far over the line of responsible “journalism”, IMHO.
I am glad she is gone from FOX. She may have worked her way into a fluffy escape job at NBC; if so, she’ll probably be very ticked off that NO ONE will ever take her seriously again.
If I don’t quit laughing within 4 hours, am I supposed to call a doctor?
Maybe she should go transgender.
She is such a joke; everyone hates her.
Oh but it DOES exist - runs rampant, even - in anti-American leftist liberal fantasy land! That's gotta be a really dark place to live, by the way, what with all the women too stupid to buy their own contraceptives, white guilt over slavery and the racism that exudes itself from the American soci-political structure, the number of gay people being placed in prisons, etc.
Glad I don't live there!
lol. You win!
I wonder if Kelly is starting understand how Trump felt with some of her false accusations?
Very perceptive post.
IMHO Megyn Kelly is a truly beautiful woman, sadly, her beauty is only skin deep. Her facial expressions are always so angry/ugly and I think your comments illustrate that.
I’m not a big fan of Kelly, but what are her “racist” comments?
