Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Tops Cable Kingpin Bill O’Reilly For First Time For Entire Week
deadline.com ^ | 6-9-14 | Dominic Patten

It might be known as the week that saw an earthquake at Fox News Channel as Megyn Kelly beat the almost unbeatable Bill O’Reilly in the key news demo last week. Yes, the 9 PM The Kelly File has topped 8 PM’s The O’Reilly Factor on FNC before both on individual nights and even for a full week. However, those single nights were mainly around the time Kelly’s show debuted in early October last year and on Election Night 2013. The Kelly File beat The Factor during the week of May 5, but O’Reilly himself wasn’t hosting that week. Last week’s victory was the first host-to-host face-off where Kelly came out the winner. From June 2-June 6, Kelly File drew 413,000 adults 25-54.

Funny Fox does not air Kelly on Roku.

They air short segments from the Five, Greta, Brett Baier, Hannity, and O’Really/

Nothing from Kelly.

The Rush TV Show was in Syndication so it was broadcast at various times in various markets.

Her shrillness and chinny fembotism is so off putting to this southern alpha man

But she has worked her cute little ass off on this issue....to her credit

I hereby un-un-friend her till she goes chinbot on me again with all that Helen Reddy rubbish

The most real conservative girl on FOX these days feels like Harris Faulkner

And she is not a feminist...like so many of the gals

And I’m not saying that to get black love points

I like Guilfoyle too...a real Gena Rowlands type dame.

A mans woman....lot to handle is my guess but God love her

he can never be a strong ally for us.

As soon as he takes a strong winning position he begins to backtrack, just to be fair.

O’Reilly attempts to “appear neutral” at the expense of the truth. I can’t watch him for that reason. Truth matters.

I tend to agree with you. I like his “no spin zone” concept. I find myself hollering, “Ask him again!” at my screen during far too many interviews when a pundit sidesteps a question. Billo recognizes when they’re sidestepping and continues to drill down to get them to answer. After about three attempts, he usually points out that the interviewee refuses to answer the question.

Unfortunately, I still find myself hollering at my screen frequently during his program, only now I’m hollering, “Shut up, Billo!” Of course, he refuses to acknowledge that he’s an interrupting machine, insisting that he only does it when someone is spinning. Everyone knows this is just not so, but who can tell Billo anything?

Here’s my technique for watching his show: Pause your DVR and NEVER WATCH HIM IN REAL TIME! Usually about the time I sit down to watch his talking points at the beginning of the show, it’s already about 8 p.m. here in the Central Time Zone (where his show starts at 7 p.m.).

His TPM is almost always worth watching, but I can usually tell if he’s on his high horse by the first or second interview. If he’s in his über interrupting mode, I fast forward through the segment, check out the next one and continue fast forwarding as needed. I almost never watch the “Is It Legal?” segment as his mouth is constantly flapping. I find that the women’s attempts to get their points across before he starts talking over them to be extremely nerve-wracking. I’m not blaming them. They know they have to speed talk because, as day follows night, Billo’s going to talk over them. I notice that a lot of Billo’s guests feel the need to speed talk. It’s the price they have to pay for being on his show.

Anyway, this technique of fast forwarding through the irritating segments saves me time and aggravation. And sanity.

I am delighted that Megyn’s show is doing so well. Since I didn’t see her that often when she was on in the daytime, I was pleasantly surprised. Now I consider Billo to be the opening act for the main attraction. If given a chance to choose only one FOX program to watch during primetime, I choose Megyn’s.

“The most real conservative girl on FOX these days feels like Harris Faulkner”

I have liked Harris Faulkner for a long, long time. She’s a square shooter, doesn’t harp at all on “Black” issues, has a lovely somewhat low speaking voice, not that piping, high pitched chirp too many female newscasters have. Megyn Kelly has a lower voice also, which is why she is easier on the ear. I also like Kimberly Guilfoyle. She cracks me up. A real pistol, good time mama. And real smart to boot. Quick on the draw and like to have fun, but is conservative too.
