Megyn, Megyn, Megyn: exactly how long did you think you could remain airborne once you lost your lift? Thomas Lifson, editor and publisher of American Thinker documents her mercurial rise and equally impressive descent. Which taboo did Miss Megyn violate that caused her abandonment by both conservative and liberal viewers?  Does it even matter?  Mr. Lifson points out that taboos, especially in the arena of “news” are a funny thing: “undesirability is a subjective concept, shaped by self-interest.” Megyn reported and viewers of all stripes decided.As commenter Terrence Appleby Allston suggested, this may explain Megyn’s situation: Ezekiel 16:28 "Thou hast played...

“Are you proud, Megyn?” Fox News host Sean Hannity exposed the two individuals most responsible for churning out anti-Trump propaganda — the presidents of CNN and NBC News — and by extension, former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly. He began his Friday night “mini-monologue” by referring to CNN President Jeff Zucker and NBC News/MSNBC Chairman Andy Lack as the “fake news chiefs” and the architects of the “Destroy Trump Media,” and then played clips of specific instances of their over-the-top, unhinged reporting. On the CNN side, those clips included Jim Acosta, Jeffrey Toobin, Brooke Baldwin, Anderson Cooper, Gloria Borger, and...

Another day, another terrible review for NBC News talent Megyn Kelly in the establishment media. The Boston Globe’s television critic Matthew Gilbert ripped Kelly for lacking both the charisma and acumen to be successful at NBC News. After watching the first three poorly-rated episodes of Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly, he notes that charisma is a “relatively hard quality to define” and points out that “Merriam-Webster actually resorts to the supernatural in its first definition of the word: ‘A personal magic of leadership arousing special popular loyalty or enthusiasm for a public figure.’” “All I know is that I don’t...

Megyn Kelly is having a helluva week, and the controversy doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. After being subjected to heavy backlash in the wake of her interview with Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist/Infowars host Alex Jones, Jones himself has taken to shaming Kelly – and did so on his YouTube account just one day after shooting their interview. In a 12-minute video that kicks off with Jones correcting statements made by Donald Trump‘s son Eric and turns into a rant against the mainstream media, Jones addresses his experience with Kelly around the 8 minute mark. What begins as a...

(Angry Patriot) – During her tenure at Fox News, Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly were constantly at each other’s throats — often over her selfish attitude and need to make everything about her. So, it makes perfect sense that O’Reilly revealed that her nickname was “Me-Again” Kelly, via Washington Feed. According to O’Reilly, it was “always about Megyn,” which is not hard to believe.

After the dramatic departure of Tamron Hall from “Today,” TV insiders are buzzing that Megyn Kelly could next unseat Savannah Guthrie as the star co-anchor with Matt Lauer. Multiple sources tell Page Six that Kelly is likely to take the lead role on the NBC morning show with Lauer when she starts in September.

The Today show shakeup with Al Roker and Tamron Hill leaving the show and former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly coming aboard has upset the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), which has accused NBC of “whitewashing” its morning show.

The Megyn Kelly story is about best laid plans going awry—ironically awry. She bargained to be the biggest voice of the dominant news channel in America — and, as well, the best paid on-air personality in the history of television news. Instead, she’s become merely a contender among the knives-out egos in the contested (and ever dwindling) territory of network news—and at a steep discount to the brass-ring salary she might have had. The Murdochs, father and sons, thought Kelly was going to be their way of cleansing Fox of Roger Ailes and his brand of diss-the-elites conservatism—and of letting...

Now Tucker Carlson is delivering an outstanding show with positive reviews from about everyone. Before that slot, Tucker was...
