A New York Magazine writer and author of the 2014 book about Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, "The Loudest Voice in the Room," said in a recent televised interview the cable station's biggest star, Megyn Kelly, may not be re-engaging in public disputes with presidential hopeful Donald Trump because she doesn't want to hurt her chances to move to a more mainstream network, like CNN.
Kelly, on the heels of widespread criticism of her debate night questioning of Trump after which the billionaire businessman called her a "bimbo" in a tweet went on what she and Fox officials said was a long-planned vacation. Trump, on the other hand, claimed her vacation was due to the fireworks she faced from her presidential debate questions about his previous treatment of women. As soon as she returned, he retweeted messages from Twitter posters that once again, called her a "bimbo." Various Fox personalities called Trump wrong for reigniting the dispute with Kelly, while Ailes came out and called for the presidential contender to apologize.
Kelly, meanwhile, took the high road and didn't directly respond to Trump's latest attacks. And Newsmax TV host Steve Malzberg wanted author Gabriel Sherman to explain why. "I think she, up until this point, was kind of the fastest rising star at Fox," Sherman said. "She was really becoming the face of the network. ... I don't think she wants to get down in the weeds and in the gutter...

“...a more mainstream network, like CNN.”
LOL
Since when is CNN more “mainstream”? They have a tiny fraction of Fox’s audience. Maybe the author meant to say “more liberal”.
Id prefer it if she instead were to kill herself..?
Breitbart TV, ASAP, please.
Al Jazeera? Russia Today? OFA?
No way she is leaving... The continual obsession with Kelly is moving into the creepy.
She’s “taking the high road”? Maybe she knows she got herself into a contest she cannot win. Having your own show makes you think you’re invincible after a while. Suddenly she finds she can’t have the last word.
Yep, once they leave Fox, they show their true liberal colors.
CNN a “more mainstream rival”?
Kelly MeGYN, taking the “high road”?
These writers are such a waste of time.
More mainstream?
She has more viewers (or had) on Fox than all of the shows on CNN have combined.
lol
She can join Alyson Camarota at CNN.
Do you also not understand why conservatives do not like liberals? Or why Christians do not like communists?
Kinda like that Allison Camerata(sp?) chick
Ailes in translation:
She wants to move to another network, and we are encouraging her to do so by not standing in her way.
Since when is WND taken seriously?
CNN’s numbers are starting to rise. Why would they want to bring in Kelly and all her baggage to bring them back down again?
Looks like Fox News realizes that have an image problem with Kelly and are probably wanting her to leave or say good bye to “Fair and Balance”.
She went full “dan rather” with her preplanned tie to Jorge ramos’ stalking hit piece.
She KNOWS that cost her money. If anything she should be finished.
The GOP/MSM are not happy Trump KO'd their lapdog.
