Not that I watch him, but I always thought O'Reilly was kinda moderate in general? I only say that because he seemed buddy-buddy with Colbert and Stewart, like a "friendly rivalry" sort of deal.

I don't see why people are ragging on her so much. Sure she's said some pretty racist stuff (and petty racist stuff at that) in the past, but she doesn't seem to be in love with Trump and she's hot. This isn't the time for a witch hunt.

I mean, yeah. Shitting on minorities is the great American pasttime! Of course you get rewarded for it!
Edit:
Always has been, always will be.
He's a smart guy, I think that's why he had the rapport with Stewart, but you could always see the frustration on Jon's face because of the disconnect between what he says and how intelligent he is. He's fairly moderate for the current GOP but he still lets religion dictate most of his feelings on social policy, has a hard-on for government surveillance and a harsh criminal justice system. He seems to be one of the old guard that is vaguely racist but mostly just wants Jesus to inform policy and doesn't want to pay taxes. He doesn't seem to inherently hate you, he just doesn't want to help you.
As opportunistic as she is, I'm glad she's leaving Fox. Even if her behavior has been terrible, there is no doubt that Fox dropped the bus on her on multiple occasions.
Perhaps now that she will be in a better network, her views will change favorably. Even if Glenn Beck is also being opportunistic, his whole "I made a huge mistake and regret it" persona helps more than it harms.
Here's to Fox News having a slow, agonizing death.

The problem is that pretty much all of the most popular shows on Fox are now all in on Trump, namely O'Reilly, Hannity, and Carlson all kissing his ass and already calling him the greatest President ever. Fox, and I can't believe I'm saying this, has likely determined that it ISN'T FAR RIGHT ENOUGH, and will likely try to garner some of the alt-right audience. Can't wait for the new shows from Ann Coulter, Tomi Lahren, and of course their new huge hit "Triggering Leftist Cucks" with Milo Yiannopolis.

Quoted again for people who want to give her the benefit of doubt.

I might not agree with everything Megyn says or does. But I think she brings good insight to some issues. It'll be interesting to see how she fairs at NBC.

This is one of those Glenn Beck situations. I have absolutely no sympathy for this woman. For years she has been a part of the forces that got us where we are now.

I am shocked.
However this doesn't change how I feel about her. I do still respect her for standing up to secual harrasment and how women are treated in and outside the workplace but she's still toxic so good for her but whatever.

I'm already fed up with watching conservative hacks like Hugh Hewitt, Nicole Wallace, Michael Steele, etc on MSNBC.
I am, solely for the fact that she worked in a place that at the very least was harboring harassment of women, if not outright assault. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Otherwise? No, not really lol. And yeah NBC needs some talent big time.

During the election Joe Scarborough was horrified at Trump's constantly asking why we can't use nukes. He used to be anti Trump until Trump met with them privately and suddenly him and Mika are pumping Trump's tires.
I think he's writing a musical on Trump lol.
We are seeing right wing Fox News BS getting spread around.

Ill never forget that segment that aired after the Laquan Mcdonald dashcam footage came out & Fox covered some of the protests: Kelly lost it over a Black protester getting up in some cop's face and staring him down. It was the reaction I expected from a law & order type like her, but it stood in stark contrast to the dry, dispassionate coverage she gave to the actual shooting footage that the city of Chicago had tried to cover up.
That summed up everything I ever wanted to know about Megyn Kelly, her values, and her worldview.
Is this sarcasm?

They'll just hire Tomi Lahren or something.
I haven't watched them in years anyways. Hope all these networks enjoy fighting over a shrinking 65+ year old audience.

Exactly this. Don't forget her history. She has said some dumb shit in the past.

They definitely want the latter. It's been shown that this is a clear demographic going by the election.
No, that's a pretzel. The fucking monster.

Hopefully this will be a chance for her to show how much of the right wing BS she actually believes and how much she was merely required by her employer to spew.

So best case scenario she's an empty-headed mouthpiece who will say anything for ratings, worst case scenario she really is a hateful bigot.

All the media is shifting to the right and normalizing Trump. Even the famed NYT is a joke now.
Not with Shep still on board.
What?
Megyn entered the no spin zone
It's OK, she's hot, let's forget her sins for being a terrible human being.
I am pretty sure that was sarcasm... it is far too stupid not to be.
I don't think anyone is that fucking stupid that they would use someone's looks to defend racism.
Nah, it has to be sarcasm, I refuse to believe someone actually has their head up their ass.
She strikes me as one of those persons that will say pretty much anything for fame and money. You can't take her seriously. Especially when she's being serious.
