For many months, Fox News and GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump have been at each other's throats. Trump has claimed that Fox News personality Megyn Kelly hasn't been fair to him, and Fox has said that Trump's accusations are baseless.
New York Magazine reported that this little spat may be causing some further complications within the Fox News network. Reportedly Megyn Kelly and Bill O'Reilly are at each other's throats over Trump and Kelly's increasing popularity.
Despite angering many people with her treatment of Trump, Kelly's popularity in Republican circles has actually grown, and she is now at the center of attention.
This doesn't make O'Reilly, who used to be the one that stirred controversy and got the ratings, very happy, in part because he apparently believes that he gave Kelly her shot and, now that she is a star, she has been trying to overshadow him.
"If you're not live at night -- because the show before me and the show after me are taped -- you lose a lot," Kelly stated when she appeared on Stephen Colbert's late-night show after the Super Bowl.
That was a veiled shot at O'Reilly, whose show is taped three hours before it goes on the air. Unsurprisingly, it only angered him further.
"They're at each other's throats big time," one Fox insider told New York Magazine. "I mean, like big time. (Fox News CEO Roget Ailes) doesn't know what the h*** to do."
Part of the feud probably has little to do with Megyn Kelly. It was only natural that O'Reilly would eventually be overtaken by someone younger than him, and not surprising that he would get mad at whoever it was. That's the way the world works.

BINGO !!!
I banned FAUX after her Trump-assassination attempt. Then I figured out that the 6pm is nothing but Psychic attempts, every night, spearheaded by Dr. Krauthammer with rotating panels to manipulating your own thinking as THEY have absolute NO touch with “We the People” and “For the People.” Just a Beltway cocktail party elitist gang. Shifted now and then to “Newsmax” instead !!!
If you can pick it up on your cable/satellite, try One America News...It and NEWSMAX is all the news I watch...
And, of course, the internet...
She’s a bitch, and she looked better with a full mane of hair.
She sure has gotten uppity since she got that Cokie Roberts Do.
LOL the ultimate insult!
Well done
I watch Hannity and Morning Joe...

You are right ..FOX has outed themselves and it will ultimately hurt their ratings , if it hasn’t done so already .. FOX has an open-borders globalist agenda like the rest of them ..

I wish that were the case, but Fox has managed to get themselves too big to fail by getting inserted on basic cable and related packages. Before they achieved this, they were routinely beaten by CNN who had like 99% penetration into the homes while Fox had a fraction of that.
Now that they both have equal and ubiquitous penetration the only differences can be detected through Nielson style sampling ( a very loose metric IMHO ) or, through on-demand and DVR and Tivo style systems ( but only on those that collect the data, and there are outstanding privacy issues in play ).
A third method is through app/web/internet viewing, but this is the least accurate IMHO since the data is collected at the point of origination ( CNN or Fox or ... ) and they cannot be trusted. After all, they are seeking advertisers and will tell them whatever they need to.
A lot of people believe that just by switching the channel the data gets recorded somehow, and this is never true for an old TV, or even a new one unless the thing is operating like a DVR with two-way ongoing communication back to the Cable/FIOS/satellite ISP, and this will only happen if the poor sucker ticked away all the privacy EULAs and opened the thing up so they become a data statistic being mined by the companies involved. It may all end up this way someday.
If you think this is bad, imagine trying to determine AM radio ratings! There is a lot of shenanigans in these industries and almost nothing they tell you should be taken at face value.
Probably the only way to get a read on their popularity is to browse these personalities' Twitter and Facebook and related resources, and even that can be gamed. There is big money at stake here and for them to feel any pain from us it will require a sustained and intense onslaught of indignation.
lol. Took me a minute.........!
BOR is Ted Baxter.
FOXNews followers are up for grabs... we’re ready to be wooed...
