Networks Won’t Touch Megyn Kelly. But There’s Always Newsmax.
Daily Beast ^ | 10-26-18 | Lloyd Grove, Tim Teeman

There is no 12-step program for disgraced network anchors attempting to make a comeback.

Brian Williams was eventually able to rehabilitate himself—getting his own show on MSNBC barely a year after being exposed as a journalistic fabricator—only because the network image-making machine, led by NBC News Chairman Andy Lack, threw its substantial institutional weight behind a meticulously orchestrated campaign to resurrect Williams as a credible purveyor of information.

Megyn Kelly will receive no such backing if she tries climb out of the smoking wreckage of her career.......

There’s an opening for a weather girl on a Fargo TV...

I still don’t see what is wrong with wearing black face when you are dressing up for Halloween? It’s a dress-up night.....right? People dress up like Trump, Obama, Aunt Jamima, the Incredibles, Pocahauntus...etc. Is Aunt Jamima from the pancake mix considered to be a racists character? To me...she was the lady on the pancake box.....akin to Colonel Sanders or Ronald McDonald. What about dressing as Piratte or a Viking? We have fun with these sorts costumes and images in our culture, but the truth is real pirates and Vikings did some pretty terrible stuff in their day. Where does it end? True racism should be condemned, obviously, but simply acknowledging race in a costume is not racism.....it’s fun...or it used to be. The political left has gone absolutely nuts.

She typecast herself as the moderate far left libtard working for NBC and she’s practically defined herself as a Trump hater so it’ll be kinda weird since she’ll have to suddenly be full MAGA for a major conservative network.

It should not be that big a deal, BUT NBC wanted her gone and she made a teary abject apology that served her on a plate to them. If it wasn't a big deal why did she crawl and eat poop on national TV the lawyers would say.

She had few friends over there and alienated the few she made.

I think she will get her money and she better make it last.

She’s done on TV. At least until the Rats drag her out for the 2020 hatefest.

Neither NewsMax nor RT will offer Megyn the kind of money she had been making. Not anywhere close. Her ego will not permit her to work for dramatically less money. She will rather stay retired.

She tried to kneecap Trump, and that was dumb as heck. She thought she had the juice banked to “be the one.”

Nope.

That started her downfall. If she’s truly learned her lesson, and appologizes, she could go on OAN. And that would be very good, for both. If she appologizes. OAN would get a giant bump. I’d tune in lots more.

(Erikson has been trying to appologize for thinking with his litfle head, and failing.)

Well, I guess it’s safe to assume she won’t get a gig on “The Conners” TV series...

Megyn, her money, NBC.
Lost track of her after FOX and she parted ways. Seem to remember about the time she split from Fox she had a “Yuge Best Seller” which was being pushed on a daily basis. How’s that working out? No more than a flash in the pan; to bother w/this trivial individual in a world gone mad is ludicrous. There are more pressing problems we should be dealing with...NOT whether MK will be able to afford a trip to have her claws done, her hair bleached.

OTOH, she has found herself in the midst of the TRUMP story as being one who punched hard and rather than POTUS going down, just one more fatality on the growing list of those who knew no better. Small potatoes=MK

Didn’t I read somewhere she was getting $70 million?

Yeah, I think I could make that last for a while. Might be different for you.

True racism should be condemned

Because the term "racism" has been so vastly overused, I no longer know what it is.

She’s made an incredible amount of money. Has the husband and kids. Is really pushing past being able to play the babe, as she so likes.

Time to just enjoy it for a while and maybe plot another comeback from another angle. Do the usual TV face thing and hire a ghostwriter to write some books, maybe?

Humility comes tough to some people, but can be life changing for the better.

Speaking from experience here. Lol

Some people are always offended (snowflakes) and some people are rarely offended (Howard Stern). The line of rationality and good taste that separates these two groups and where blackface rests on that continuum is the crux of the debate.

I find people dressed up as pregnant nuns to be offensive...yea yea, I get it, nuns are supposed to be celibate but this one did the deed it's funny ha ha ha. I suspect other costumes in a similar manner are also offensive, i.e. a rabbi eating bacon, Hitler and Anne Frank. Now, I don't run up to such people and lecture them, but I sure won't invite them to my barbecue and I probably would give them a rock instead of candy.

At the same time this list of "offensive" costumes was clearly compiled by someone who doesn't get out much. Further, if a white kid dressed up as Hendrix and was in black face or if a black kid dressed up as Frank Zappa and was in white face, would people be angry nowadays? I hope not.

Indeed, many people don't think Halloween should be celebrated AT ALL. Personally, as long as the government stays out of this debate I'm happy for it to remain the domain of us "little people."
