Sean Hannity comments on Megyn Kelly (Taking over his Fox News Time Slot)
Politico ^ | 08/10/2013 | ANDREA DRUSCH

If losing his prime-time show to Megyn Kelly is rattling Sean Hannity, he isn’t showing it.

Hannity weighed in on the report of Kelly’s move to the Fox News 9 p.m. prime-time block during his radio show, saying he’s “very happy” with the way things are turning out, and that it has no negative implications for his career.

“Let’s just say in the end I’m very happy. That’s all I can say at this point,” he said Thursday.

It’s pretty funny. I love people speculating,” Hannity said. “Because everybody thinks they know everything and they don’t.”

He also preempted criticism from those who might suggest the move had anything to do with him being “a right wing nut job.”

“If I wasn’t hated, I wouldn’t be doing my job now would I?” he said.

It’s my understanding, that he has a good contract.

My take....no inside info, just a hunter reading the sign.

1. Fox News head Roger Aiels is a fellow traveler with the Republican Royals. Everything Fox does serves the GOP power establishment.....including showing just enough red meat like Hannity to keep the Tea Party types tuned in and conned.

Evidence - the serial elevation, celebration, then destruction of every presidential candidate EXCEPT Romney.

2. The GOP establishment is once again nervous that the Tea Party peasants may get out of hand and lynch a few of their own in the 2014 cycle.....SO....back bench Hannity, the last of the headliner bombthrowers at Fox...who as we know carrys water for every uber conservative and patriot.

They did it to Beck...they did it to Judge Napolitano..others?..now Hannity....and they replace Hannity with this cow?

She is bright but not schooled, aggressive but arrogant, has lots of hours....but no world experience. IT is a hilarity that anybody claims she hits in the league with O’Reilly, Hannity, Beck, or other conservative/libertarian talking heads.

She is above O’Reilly the bloviator. He is the biggest joke of a conservative EVER. O’Reilly who bowed down to O’bama for a suck up interview. Bill is in it for Bill and the bills.

Megyn ( I wish I was her GYN) Kelly is a liberal but I wouldn’t mind inviting her over for ‘lunch.’

I can’t stand her, just smug as all hell.

On this matter, New York and South Carolina agree.

We were turning off Fox during her midday show. Now I guess we will be doing the same at the evening timeslot. I never thought she was “that special”. Her liberal leanings are always slipping out.

70% probability that Hannity takes the 7pm slot.
30% probability that Hannity takes the 8pm slot and O’Reilly partially retires.

I watched Megyn Kelly until she got to full of herself..She is a beautiful woman but she knows it..I do not think she will draw the crowds that Hannity did at night..

I did hear Sean Hannity does want to spend more time with his family and I am sure he has made enough money he doesn't have to worry about what spot they put him in..

Here’s a piece of interesting news from 2008:

Sean Hannity Gets $100 Million Deal

(That’s a pittance compared to what Rush Limbaugh makes ).

As a fellow hunter, I agree with your observations.

My only speculation is possibly Ailes is doing what needs to be done when the political parties control the airways/licenses and have their middle finger poised above the key marked "Fairness Doctrine" so he adjusts tactics accordingly.

Or, maybe he's just been rolling in that stuff so long as a part of the job that he's been infected, too, or has gotten old enough that he just doesn't care as he once did.

Success is its own revenge.

I’d not worry about Hannity.

Please tell me that Hannity is going to take over O'Reilly's time slot, and that O'Reilly will be moved to 2 AM.

Beck moved to a liberal outlet? When? Where?

He came from CNN to Fox.
Now on his own with his Blaze Tv, or whatever it’s called.

I dunno.

If Megyn Kelly were going to be my slot, I’d be pretty satisfied.

Not sure WHAT Ailes was thinking with replacing Hannity with Megyn Kelly in the 9pm time slot. She is BORING.

And FNC is getting more Leftist with their every move.
