News this week is that Megyn Kelly is off to NBC. Waiting to hear about the bidding war that clearly did not happen. Now starts Megyn’s decline into obscurity, remembered as someone who was a hot commodity for a very short while.
Until it all became about Megyn.
What Megyn, Greta, and other passing Fox celebs do not grasp is the importance of the Fox time slot.
When Greta departed, Brit Hume did a perfectly good job with news and commentary. Now Tucker Carlson is delivering an outstanding show with positive reviews from about everyone. Before that slot, Tucker was almost unknown nationally. Now Greta will be. The slot made her, and without it, she is going to learn that her audience has little personal affection for her. The slot, however, will do fine.
I hope Fox will put someone there like Sharyl Attkisson, who is a true reporter. Maybe she is FNC material. Fox will decide.
Over the next months, we can watch NBC make a large investment in launching the new Megyn shows, only to watch initial audiences peter away. Perhaps Megyn will end up with an Ashleigh Banfield-type show nobody watches, now that the novelty of Ashleigh eyeware has long worn off.

Maybe Judge Jennine is headed for the Supreme Court . . . or District Court.
“Evidently Mark is not losing his audience”
Or the author is just wrong, like I think he is about other things in this article.
If I’m not mistaken, Ashley’s last name is Banfield rather than Bancroft. I could easily be wrong though.
You’re right
She’s yet another tard
[I can’t see Megyn as “Oprah.”
She has no softness or empathy. ]
She’s more like a Dr. Phil type but regarding legal matters...
[I watched her “goodbye” last night. You’re right. She tried to be warm and fuzzy, just doesn’t come off.]
If I didn’t just have my carpets cleaned that same morning, I would have puked from her faux emotional “goodbye”...
Your half brother is on this thread
You guys share ok!

LMAO!!!!! I am going to steal that!!
Tucker is top-notch right now... i miss Greta...
Megyn Kelly’s fifteen minutes of fame have just flamed out!!! Within a year or two, she will be cleaning windshields on the NYC Bowery for a dime a wipe!!! An old saying with much meaning....”If you are born dumb, and you know it, you will do just fine during path of life...but, if you are born dumb, and don’t know it, and, think you are smart, you are in for big trouble and much failure”!!! Ms. Kelly, take heed, now....but, I think in your case, you are way too late to get real!!!
thank you! Tucker has been around since the 90s, when he wore bow ties... i remember when Greta left CNN for FNC... i came to really like her... trust her...
Megyn will not fit in well at NBC—she will regret this move and end up on MSNBC or CNN. She should go into writing news columns and books-—maybe a radio show for the left.
I think it was a good choice. SHES GONE FROM FOX!!! My only regret is that she didn’t take Shep Smith with her.
“I think the little b*tch blew herself up when she launched her vendetta against Donald Trump. “
It was not an accident, she anticipated this career move and took him on to purposefully cultivate “mainstream media” credibility. It was business as they say - if she were fair with Trump she would not have gotten the buzz to fuel this move. Even if she didn’t get as much $ as she would have made w Fox, she probably got more money and concessions from NBC by taking on Trump like she did.
Shep’s stock at Fox is dropping like a rock. First, they cancelled his 7 pm newscast when Megyn Kelly got promoted to prime time and Greta moved into the earlier timeslot, following “Special Report.” Believe me, no one misses ol’ Shep at 7.
As a sop, they made Smith their breaking news anchor with a new studio. But there’s a little problem; most of the evening hosts have it in their contract that if there is a breaking story, they will lead the coverage during their time slot. So, if there’s a major news event, Shep goes off at 6 pm, and you won’t see him again until 11 pm.
Roger Ailes was the man who promoted Smith and really made his career. With Roger’s departure from FNC, some of the execs are really wondering why they’re paying a 3 pm host $8 million a year. There are far more talented people at the network making a lot less. Of course, Shep’s status as a member of a protected class may buy him some time. But his career at Fox has peaked, and he may be the next one out the door—if he can find someone who will hire him.
Agree. Tucker Carlson is hard-hitting, insightful and does his homework in order to refute BS from others.

Megyn made the only choice she had.
She was soon to be history at Fox (of her own doing)
.
REALLY?!?!? GFnR!!!
I like Tammy Bruce because, as an former liberal, she knows how to handle them. And, unlike Megyn or Perino, etc., Tammy spends absolutely no time trying to be precious or flirty. Completely professional. A lesbian chick with a gun.
Agree 100% - especially the two names you mention.
