There’s no doubting that Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has endeared herself to her audience. She’s wildly popular with a loyal fan base. And Thursday afternoon she may have showed why: she’s not afraid to go off script and even get personal. Case in point: she revealed she once had a potentially embarrassing breastfeeding incident on a plane. Fox reporter Trace Gallagher was discussing the recent “nurse-ins,” where mothers — in response to a fellow mother being asked not to breastfeed at a Target store — descended on stores across the country to breastfeed their babies in public. And after...

GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN TALKS WITH MEGYN KELLY TODAY! VIDEO

An abashed Mike Gallagher appeared today on “America Live with Megyn Kelly” to (sort of) defend the remarks he made earlier this summer about Kelly’s three-month-long maternity leave. Back then, Gallagher called such a luxurious leave “a racket.” Today, once again in the host’s chair after the birth of her second child, daughter Yardley, four months, everybody’s favorite Fox anchor appeared keen to elicit a retraction from the radio host. She all but got it. Gallagher shamefacedly muttered several unintelligible excuses — including a half-hearted hint that he had hoped the comment wouldn’t make it through the grapevine to the...

Anthony Weiner finally came clean,but he's not resigning. Yesterday's press conference was excruciating.He held it because he got caught.If he hadn't made the mistake of posting the picture he'd still be doing it. You don't need to bite from an apple to know that men behaving badly is not unique in the annals of history.We just have so many impulsive avenues with which to express them. First of all, why does a man who has such a weakness for the opposite sex invite temptation? Why do you get married if you cannot restrain yourself? If,as is common with many or...

Glenn Beck’s Last Day On Fox Slated for June 30 By Alex Weprin on June 2, 2011 10:58 AM Fox News host Glenn Beck‘s last day at the channel is currently slated for June 30, according to Mediaite. As we reported yesterday, Beck had a rough month ratings-wise in May, slipping -17% in total viewers and -33% in the adults 25-54 demo compared to last year. That said, he still handily topped his competition on CNN and MSNBC. As TVNewser first reported last week, Beck is planning to launch a web-based TV network called GBTV after he leaves FNC. No...

Fox News Anchor Megyn Kelly Gives Birth To Baby Girl (after revealing the five things NEVER to say to a pregnant woman) By DAILY MAIL REPORTER 15th April 2011 Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has become a mother for the second time with the birth of a bouncing baby girl this morning. The 40-year-old America Live anchor and husband Doug Brunt welcomed the new bundle of joy at 10am in New York, adding to their growing family. 'Megyn gave birth to a bouncing baby girl, and that little girl's name is Yardley Evans, weighing in at 7lbs 12oz', her colleague...

“Who,” you’re probably asking yourself, “is that fine specimen of man peering out seductively from beneath that curly coif?” Well, dear reader, this young man happens to be none other than Democratic New York Congressman Anthony Weiner. Weiner posted his 1981 high school yearbook photo to Twitter, making it his default profile image. And, we’ve gotta say: That powder blue turtleneck is doing things to us

My reaction to the horrible treatment Weiner gave to Megyn Kelly when she pointed out reasons why Thomas rightly doesn't need to recuse himself on the ObamaCare case.

Megyn Kelly just mentioned that we are getting reports that the gunman who killed two U.S. soldiers in Germany this morning yelled “God is great” in Arabic as he allegedly opened fire.

As Megyn Kelly pointed out during today’s America Live, FNC correspondent Mike Tobin has reported from war zones in the Middle East and around the globe … yet his latest assignment in Wisconsin found him in the midst of heckling crowds, sometimes turning violent. Earlier, Megyn discussed with Tobin his efforts to utilize first amendment rights in merely filing reports from the state. Videos

Megyn Kelly had a democratic strategist on to talk about Rep. Cohen's comments on the House floor where he compared Republicans to Nazis. The strategist went on to say Fox News hosts do the same thing. Megyn put him in his place and proved he was just making stuff up.

Via Mediaite. Alternate headline: “Confirmed: Megyn Kelly’s a RINO.” Seriously, though, explain to me (and her, by proxy) how the NorKs would have behaved differently over the past two years with Bush in office, especially given that their first nuclear test came on his watch. When they went ahead with their ICBM test launch in April 2009, The One demanded that they be punished with the same ceremonial wrist slap that all U.S. presidents resort to, i.e. a Security Council statement. They responded by breaking off from six-party talks, and not only has he refused to re-engage them — even...

The blogosphere was in an uproar after GQ published a risqué photo of Fox News’s Megyn Kelly:

Your eyes aren’t fooling you: that really is Fox News’s Megyn Kelly in the most recent edition of GQ Magazine. The blonde-haired, and pregnant, anchor of “America Live” sat down with GQ’s Greg Veis for the December issue. The article’s title is to be expected: “She Reports, We Decide She’s Hot.” While the magazine has not yet made a link available for the story, TVNewser does have some excerpts, including the magazine’s description of the conservative host:

During a recent Fox News broadcast, Megyn Kelley has an intense laughing fit which was triggered while she was attempting to make a joke about frozen blankets and stuffing your spouse in a freezer. Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds, but unfortunately part of the clip is missing to be able to establish context. What is hilarious is watching Megyn crack up!

Just announced on Megyn Kelly's show

Has been teasing this for the last 45 mins...will be coming up in the 2 PM block...my guess is she is pregnant again. She keeps teasing a "major announcement will be coming in the 2 PM hour"

an open letter to Dana Milbank...If you are going to criticize Megyn Kelly, please do so for the right reason. (full disclosure-I am a staunch conservative who watches only Fox News on TV-for good reason) Kelly seems to be one of the least offenders there for showing "bias". You might want to explore the question of whether or not Kelly would have her job on TV if not for her beauty and valley-girl sex appeal (a contributor to her fast-track at Fox and being assigned to cover an election despite a lack of experience?). Be careful though, you might get...

Michael Reagan on FNC's America Live w/ Megyn Kelly discussing Sarah Palin and a 2012 run.

Megyn Kelly has a heated interview with Ibrahim Hooper (CAIR) regarding the firing of Juan Williams from NPR.

During a contentious interview on Fox News’ America Live, anchor Megyn Kelly interviewed Ibrahim Hooper, the communications director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), about NPR’s recent firing of political analyst Juan Williams for comments he made regarding Muslims. ”Let me explain how it works” Kelly tells Hooper at one point during the heated exchange. “I’m the anchor, you’re the guest.”

Megyn Kelly, host of FNC’s “America Live,” will be featured in the November issue of Glamour. Kelly gives advice to women about how to make the most of their lives — balancing career and home — something she learned after switching careers and later ending her first marriage. “I spent most of life from 24-31 at the office. I wasn’t going to people’s weddings, I wasn’t cultivating my marriage. I wasn’t happy.” Kelly left a legal career for TV news, joining ABC affiliate WJLA in Washington, DC as a freelance general assignment reporter. She quickly caught the eye of FNC...

Should be good.

It is crunch time for President Barack Obama and Democrats. The writing on the wall suggests the president and his party will suffer severe losses and will ultimately lose control of one, if not two chambers of Congress in November. And this was something Obama addressed in a Labor Day speech in Milwaukee on Sept. 6, but he also complained about how he has been personally treated by his critics, suggesting he has been talked about "like a dog." That was something former CNN anchor and syndicated radio host Lou Dobbs said it was time for Obama to get past....

Fox News' Megyn Kelly's Emotional Goodbye To FNC White House Correspondent Major Garret. Today is Major Garrett's last day on air at Fox News. Major is leaving TV to go back to work as a print journalist at National Journal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IQ53goEQ-E

mmm Mmm MMM!

… doing the little guy post, let’s do it again. Do you recognize this gal?

Have you heard about the New Black Panther Party? No? Well, you must not be watching Fox News, which has spent the last week treating the fringe group as the greatest threat to democracy since... well, since health care reform.

I love a good fight and this one certainly doesn’t disappoint! I enjoyed every singled second of this video as if it were the last couple bites of my favorite ice cream! Megyn Kelly obliterates Kirsten Powers with her facts and debating prowess, leaving Kirsten to stutter and sputter her way through her illogical and uninformed defense of the DOJ Black Panther case. I typically won’t spend nine minutes on any video but this one is worth it! Take a few minutes and enjoy! VIDEO

Video of FOX's Megyn Kelly on Black Panther Case & Ties To Obama

It was AWESOME!!!! She laid her out!!!

Aired July 13, 2010- From Fox News' 'America Live' With Megyn Kelly.. Megyn Kelly DESTROYS Kirsten Powers on New Black Panther Case after Powers first says she doesn't believe that the incident was a clear case of voter intimidation, then backtracks...at one point Kelly has to threaten to cut off Powers' mic.. INTENSE!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIO9Au2bQEA

Kirsten Powers lost any shred of credibility she once had with this interview.

Kirsten Powers isn't generally a "talking points only" type of lib commentator and often provides interesting contrast on FNC. Not today. She's so far gone defending the White House and the DoJ on the New Black Panther case that Megyn Kelly got all cage-match on her. And it was gooooooood...

And then says that Fox News dragged the rest of the media kicking and screaming to that story! LOL!

Tune in for Megyn Kelly's exclusive interview with the chairman of the New Black Panther Party Malik Zulu Shabazz

Code Pink protester is asked by Foxnews Megyn Kelly "who are you to silence the people who went to the Rove book event", Evans: "I didn't silence his voice, I went up to do a citizens arrest, I had a legal arrest complaint that empowers me to arrest a citizen that breaks the law" (Video)

Disagree with his decision or not to vote for health care reform on March 21, you would assume after coming all this way — with months of media focus, the attacks on his family, etc., that Rep. Bart Stupak acted on principle. But an interview broadcast Fox News on March 22, a little over 12 hours after the – Stupak didn’t make a logical case for his decision. ...more (w/video)...

Megyn Kelly believes Holder is entitled to have civilian trials for GITMO detainees. This is flat WRONG. While those detained as enemy combatants are entitled to the writ of habeas corpus to contest their designation as "enemy combatants" in civilian courts per 5/4 SC vote in Boumediene v. Bush, they are to be tried under the Military Commissions Act of 2006, so long as the procedures are analogous to the rules applicable to courts-martial under the Uniform Code of Military Justice per 5/3 vote in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (with CJ Roberts not participating).

On Monday's "Morning Joe" show Joe Scarborough decided that Chris Wallace had rolled his eyes after interviewing Sarah Palin. Scarborough went on to declare the supposed "eye roll" was meant to signal to Wallace's friends that Palin "isn't a serious thinker." Megyn Kelly decided to go straight to the source and interviewed Chris Wallace to clear up the controversy. Wallace was quite blunt in what he thought of Scarborough's assessment and doesn't mince words in the process. Video at the link

First “America’s Newsroom.” Then “America’s Election Headquarters.” And on Monday, Megyn Kelly will begin anchoring a third all-about-America newscast, “America Live.” Megyn Kelly, who will be the solo anchor for an afternoon program starting Monday, is a centerpiece of the news side of Fox News. We’re big on America here at Fox,” Ms. Kelly said in an interview last week. And America, or at least a big chunk of it, is big on Fox News, which is coming off its highest-rated year ever. That record is largely attributable to right-wing opinion-mongers like Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly, whose bluster sometimes...

Here is video of Fox News' Megyn Kelly talking with Bill O'Reilly about President Obama's attack on the Supreme Court during his State of the Union Address, and his claim that their recent ruling opens the door to "foreign companies" being able to influence political campaigns through making contributions. Kelly said flatly that the Supreme Court ruling does not allow that to happen. Laws are still in place to prevent foreign companies from contributing to U.S. political campaigns. Kelly said, "That, as spoken by President Obama, is not accurate." She also said that it is unprecedented for a U.S. President...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FOX News Channel’s (FNC) Megyn Kelly will begin solo anchoring a new two-hour dayside program from 1-3PM ET on Monday February 1st which will replace The Live Desk, announced Michael Clemente, Senior Vice President of News Editorial for the network. Bill Hemmer will now be joined by Martha MacCallum in co-anchoring America’s Newsroom from 9-11AM ET, where he will begin FNC’s signature daytime news programming block (9AM-4PM/ET). The remainder of the dayside line-up will continue in its current form.

Here is video of Fox News' Megyn Kelly making her first appearance on the network since giving birth. She was on with Bill O'Reilly tonight, where she analyzed the accusations against Navy Seals and then talked about the Maurice Clemmons killing of four Washington Police Officers. Kelly and O'Reilly got into a heated conversation over how Clemmons was able to get out on bail considering he had been charged with raping a 12 year-old girl, and had eight pending felony charges against him. Kelly told O'Reilly the amount of bail (he paid $19,000 bond) was reasonable and that the judge...

...It was a Megyn Kelly interviewing Wade Rathke, founder and former and chief organizer of ACORN. My initial impression was this was a very fair and objective interview by Kelly. She took him through his formative years of the radical 60s to the present. As the show went on Kelly, with the help of Stanley Kurtz and others, proceeded to eviscerate Rathke to the point he boiled over. It was devastating.... But the revelations were only half the story. The special was powerful because it relied heavily, very heavily, on the subtle audio and visual effects pioneered by CBS’s “60...

This morning Megyn Kelly gave birth to a baby boy named Edward Yates Brunt, named after two grandfathers. The baby weighted 7 lbs. 10 oz.

Here is video of Fox News' Megyn Kelly and a panel weighing in on the vicious beating of a student on a school bus in Belleville, Illinois. Kelly was very strong that the kids who beat the boy should be punished to the fullest extent of the juvenile laws, not just receive a suspension. She also felt the students on the bus who did nothing to help the boy should receive a stiff penalty as well. . . . (VIDEO)

Megyn Kelly: "Where were you in 2005 when they [Democrats] booed President Bush?"

Here is video of Megyn Kelly having it out with the former Chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, Richard Harpootlian, over whether GOP Rep. Joe Wilson should be censured for shouting "You Lie" at President Obama during his Health Care Speech. Kelly showed video of Democrats booing President Bush when he spoke in the House Chamber in 2005, and video of Democrats calling Bush a "liar" from the House Floor. . . (VIDEO)
