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.

Perfect. They all deserve each other.
Gee, Bill is a big baby throwing tantrums? I never woulda’ guessed.
BOR has an ego!? NO!
There you go, problem solved! Actually I like both of their shows, O’Reilly because he gets the best guests and I can get various perspectives plus Jesse Watters to remind me what the real world is like, and I like Kelly’s flippant attitude, although I very seldom watch her. Predictable that she’d overtake BOR. Just wish someone would overtake Hannity.
I haven’t watched fox news in a decade+ (any national news network).
I do remember her face as an upstart. Megyn Kendall reminds me of that other one Ashley Bancroft. One in the same perhaps, and Ole Factor Man, no wonder he’s writing all the books so fast.
Well said, VERY well said!
Megyn’s prettier than Bill.
Whatever..........
The poster I replied to was wrong...
You’re still here ?
“Megyn also slammed Hannity. “
If I had to guess, Fox is taking its typical sharp turn to the left to attract liberals like they do every presidential election year. It’s all about ratings and money. If any of these fights were the real deal, one of the egos would be shown the door.
I don’t care what happens to that channel. It’s been dead to me since 2006.
“It was only natural that O’Reilly would eventually be overtaken by someone younger than him”
Megan is 45... most female reporters are half her age. Her replacement is already out there somewhere.
Her dust-up with Trump makes her the darling of the liberal media.
Pray America wakes
Dead on
She’s not included in this circle. As much a “0” as the creature in office. Just another of the many who have been torn apart and turned asunder by the DC cabal. The count increases daily.
“She was pretty classless since Hannity and Bill both helped her get her start.”
She’s just put on her track shoes what with the “Katie Couric hairdoo” and all. Ailes let the bitch genie out of the bottle, so he’s going to have to figure out how to deal with it. My guess is that she’s cutting a deal with one of the non-cable channels so she can go head to head with O’Gasbag.
Totally agree ... what a shame
And people here see you are still a knot head.
They say to be nice to people on your way to the top because you’ll see them again, in Megyn’s case, as she slides down the pole.
There’s a hardness, a Babwa Wawa quality about her that repels me. O’Reilly is all blow, no go. Saul Goodman meets Ted Baxter.
