Oh goody. Her and Gretchen will be spreading their right wing poison to an even broader audience.

 

[Chumley]

People forget NBC wants to be FOX. Morning Joe is still one of their highest rated shows and Scarborough is the biggest fucking Trump advisor hack in the world.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Hannity was getting better numbers too I believe.

 

[Vena]

Will be curious to see if she's actually the Fox News persona without Fox, or if that was towing the company profile.

 

[Obliterator]

Not surprised at all. Bet she got offered a pretty huge contract.

 

[Black Republican]

Was she not the highest rated on FOX?

I think it Goes Bill >>>>> Hannity>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kelly>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Everyone else

 

[Dabanton]

US newscasters are some of the most cynical people around.

It's a good 'get' for NBC News and Megyn Kelly knows she can straddle both sides of the aisle.

 

[maquiladora]

Disgusting move by NBC to hire somebody who has made numerous racist comments and made her millions working for a right wing news platform.

Fuck off NBC.

 

[Not]

Get out of there, girl

All women get the fuck away from the Roger Ailes machine. Fox News can be old white man town forever.

 

[Cat Party]

Fox News is going to essentially be state run media for 4 years. This will be more clear to more people as the anti Trump people leave.

This is a good development.

 

[BajiBoxer]

But is she a batshit crazy right winger because that's what she is, or because that's what the network wanted?

When it comes to news and political opinion, I really don't care if she is crazy or a fraud. To those "good for her" and "she deserves better" posts... no, she really doesn't.

 

[CrimsonSquall]

I honestly forgot he exists in a big way still. I go back to Stewart and Colbert interviews with him lmao

 

[Alligatorjandro]

You can make a career out of shitting on minorities

 

[cartographer]

She's a pretty typical educated conservative white woman. Plenty of racism and dog whistling but every once in a while she's slightly centrist about an issue that specifically affects educated conservative white women and she's seen as reasonable.

 

[Chumley]

I honestly forgot he exists in a big way still. I go back to Stewart and Colbert interviews with him lmao

It pains me to say it but Oreilly still gets huge numbers. Better than Stewart at his peak I believe but I could be wrong as fuck.

 

[Kalamari]

Ah, one of those fake news networks.

 

[shadow_shogun]

Thank God it's not CNN she went to, poor network's been getting enough crap thrown at it from from sides.

 

[theignoramus]

Maybe she can invite Mark Fuhrman onto her to NBC program to discuss the next racially charged police incident.
Its always gunna be a "fuck Megyn Kelly" from me, she defends police brutality and acts as an attack dog against social justice movements while legitimising actual human trash like Mark Fuhrman and Sheriff David Clarke.

She's centered her newscasts around dog whistle politics and tapping into White racial resentment, I dont feel a shred of pity over her getting burnt by the forces of evil she helped create and I damn sure aint buying whatever centrist makeover she tries to pull at NBC.

 

[family_guy]

But is she a batshit crazy right winger because that's what she is, or because that's what the network wanted?

Doesn't matter. If she was faking it, that means she has no integrity and will do whatever it takes to make a buck and be famous.

 

[Black Republican]

Thank God it's not CNN she went to, poor network's been getting enough crap thrown at it from from sides.

i wasnt suprised NBC wanted her but i woulda thought CNN would get her instead

 

[And_Gignac]

How the fuck is she going to be at NBC with all the "anti liberal" luggage she carries? CNN was the better choice for her.

 

[GuyKazama]

i wasnt suprised NBC wanted her but i woulda thought CNN would get her instead

CNN can't afford her.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

She's a pretty typical educated conservative white woman. Plenty of racism and dog whistling but every once in a while she's slightly centrist about an issue that specifically affects educated conservative white women and she's seen as reasonable.

Exactly.

People need to be careful not to fall into the trap of having watched a handful of high profile conservatives say something reasonable about how terrible Trump is, thus making it easier to forget about how terrible THOSE conservatives have been the whole time.

 

[Shake Appeal]

It's going to be really weird seeing her popping up on Morning Joe or any of the evening MSNBC shows.

Although I've stopped watching Morning Joe because of this last election and their gross tango with Trump.

God, does anyone remember when you could turn on MSNBC on a Saturday morning and watch Up with Chris Hayes back to back with the admittedly-mediocre MHP show and actually see people talking in-depth about interesting stuff that wasn't in the "news cycle."

 

[studyguy]

Lets be real, Megan Kelly likely has to play a part being on FOX. If the money is good (which it definitely will be if she jumped ship) then I fully expect her to change her tune.

One less FOX mouthpiece is good enough for me. Just shows how little the conservative message means in the end after all.

 

[Duxxy3]

You can make a career out of shitting on minorities

You can even be president!

 

[theignoramus]

He's a big hit. Megyn's numbers were going down too. She was fairly anti-Trump compared to the rest of Fox news and I think it hurt her numbers.

Cant CUCK the TUCK, man!

 

[Line_HTX]

Next thing you'll know is everyone is going to see Kelly during next year's Super Week since Super Bowl LII is on NBC.

She did put a little too much time on that Richard Sherman post NFCC rant.

 

[BruceCLea]

Good for her. She deserves better. Now just Shep Smith needs to jump ship and let the entire network burn.

She's not a very good journalist.

 

[_Ryo_]

One on hand, she' a pretty awful woman, on the other hand maybe NBC will move her more left and allow her to atone for awfulness?

 

[EatinOlives]

Lol, people are actually happy for Megyn Kelly? What the hell?

Also, is NBC this hard up for talent?

People don't know much about Megyn. All they know is her spat with Trump, which doesn't cover all the hateful horseshit she has said over her 12 years in that putrid network.

 

[Yellowflashdude]

I mean, I'm all for moving on from the past but she struck me as someone who can dish it but can't take it which was shown during her feud with trump.

 

[norinrad]

Fox replicants all over the place.

 

[- J - D -]

Don't know what to say. Congrats to NBC I guess for potentially pulling Kelly-faithfuls over to the network? I dunno, she's a terrible person and no amount of vaguely centrist leaning last year will ever change that.

 

[Souzetsu]

Hannity still popular there

Yeah but nobody calls Sean Hannity.

 

[Delusibeta]

It'll be interesting to see how Fox News fares during the Trump Administration.

I'll be more interested by how NBC News fares, tbh. If this is anything to go by, this does looks like they're deliberately swinging to the right.

 

[Bold One]

Fuck off Megyn

 

[timetokill]

My conservative, Fox-News-watching dad: "Probably where she belongs."

Megyn Kelly: Too liberal for Fox News D:

 

[RPGCrazied]

She knows what is happening at Fox News and wants no part of it. Trump News over there. Don't blame her.

 

[Mechanized]

Let's not get it twisted, she has some pretty horrible hateful opinions and beliefs, but out of anyone at Fox she definitely seems the most sensible all the same.

 

[psynergylover]

Tomi Lahren hired by Fox News in 3...2…1….

This might actually happen.....UGH!!!!

 

[Kimawolf]

She is only liberal on women's issues. She's a die hard typical white feminist and goes all in on anything affecting women.

But otherwise she is fairly conservative and just as crazy as the others.

 

[Keasar]

If I remember correctly:

Wasn't it Megyn Kelly who used to a few years ago be staunch opponent to maternity leave and parental pay when people would get babies because "big government, mandatory entitlement programs" and then when SHE got a baby and was away for a month then came back, suddenly she was a very angry supporter of said maternity leave and parental pay because "it was important in order for the mother to bond with the baby"?

Edit: Yaaaay, it was.

She's a jerk.

 

[Codeblue]

Given they're working with Trump on The Apprentice, I imagine they're trying to get on the right wing bandwagon.

 

[Kthulhu]

Huge hit to fox news All they got is O'Reilly now

Did Hannity fuck off and join Breitbart or something?

 

[Black Republican]

Chuck Todd for Fox News...........soon?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Did Hannity fuck off and join Breitbart or something?

He isn't that popular as Kelly and Bill.

 

[Morts]

Ask her if Santa can be black now.

 

[Kthulhu]

He isn't that popular as Kelly and Bill.

Really? I figured since he had a radio show that he was fairly popular.

She knows what is happening at Fox News and wants no part of it. Trump News over there. Don't blame her.

I imagine most of Fox's anchors would jump ship if they could.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Good for Megyn, she'll be a great fit on NBC. Fox probably didn't like how often Megyn got under Donalds skin. Trump fears her more than ISIS and its hilarious
