It's simple, Fox. Apologize and sideline that bitch Megyn.

No! First off, Kelly is a ratings goldmine and is a jewel in the crown of the network and her pay reflects it. If Fox throws her under the bus, they will lose viewership and probably lose her to CNN and you'll see the beginning of a reversal in ratings rankings. It's simple leadership same as we did in the army. You've gotta back your people or you'll lose unit cohesion. The best way is to convince Trump (via his daughters) to attend. If he doesn't, no sweat. Reagan skipped his Iowa debate too and still won the election in a landslide.

ExSoldier...do you really believe that Megyn Kelly drives massive revenue for her employer?
While totally anecdotal and non-scientific, I know people who watch that channel all day and take a "break" while her increasingly silly show is on.
If they moved someone like Laura Ingraham or Dana Loesch into her one-hour time (to maintain a female journalist) my bet is ratings would remain stable or increase.

Easily swayed by a skirt, I guess. Each to his own... we’ll see how things shake out. She can’t lose ‘viewership’ in my house. That happened a while ago.

We’ll see what happens but my best guess is that she’ll bow out because of the needs of the viewers to be informed. But it will really be because she had to take one for the team. Money is still money.

Further, Trump doesn’t need the hassle at this point in the IOWA, NH game. Why should he relent to a network so obviously against “We report, you decide?”

I just don’t buy the schtick any more.
