Roger Ailes 'snickering' over Megyn Kelly flop?

Much-publicized special with Trump widely panned, ratings disappointment

(NYMAG) — Megyn Kelly’s much-publicized broadcast special with Donald Trump was supposed to launch the Fox News star into the stratosphere of television anchordom. Instead, the widely panned show seems to have achieved the opposite result: It exposed the extent of her limited mainstream appeal. Kelly drew just 4.8 million viewers on Tuesday night, a number television executives say is a disappointment by any measure. Three senior executives I spoke with say an audience of 9 million would have been a success. “Not good for her at all,” was how one insider put it.

In the days since, Kelly has been working to contain the fallout. She took aim at critics on her cable show Wednesday night by deploying an age-old Fox News tactic: claiming the backlash was a result of liberal media bias. But behind the scenes, she is said to be worried about the response. “She’s very upset with the show reaction, and in hindsight with how it was produced,” one Fox veteran told me.

Kelly's chummy treatment of Trump may have damaged her brand as tough and fair-minded (this being Fox, the bar was pretty low). Worse, she cozied up to Trump at the very moment Rupert Murdoch decided Fox News will support the GOP front-runner. By lobbing softballs — or, as Times TV critic James Poniewozik described her questions, "airballs" — at Trump, Kelly came across like any other GOP cheerleader at the right-wing network.

No more room on the bandwagon.

She's decent-looking but not enough to pull off the starchy, butch hairstyle in the photo accompanying the article:

I love her 9pm show but I passed this one up.

Predictably she gave him a Morning Joe type soft-ball interview. On FNC 'the Media Buzz' this weekend they pointed out examples where she didn't ask him the obvious follow-up questions.

I also saw her making up excuses on why she was so soft on him, on her show after playing a boring clip of them.

Furthermore it was an old interview.

If you like Trump why would you watch it? If you like Kelly why would you watch it? Losing formula Kelly.

Both the cruzites, kelly and limbaugh have shown their true colors and their contempt for We The people.

Rush refused to endorse Donald today, showing that he, like ryan are prepared to try to get other than Donald thru at the convention.

Jealousy is a terrible thing.

Her pretty face is nothing it's her filthy heart that has cost her and FOX viewers.

Takes a lot more than beauty to win political arguments..

We see the truth of that here, -- with the gatlin/grandisland/ roscoe/ misterwhite efforts..

They're all cute, but no cigar..

He was very cute while describing his adventures killing chipmunks, but he disappeared shortly after. --- Maybe a big one got him...

Don't be a perv. If she read just one of your posts she wouldn't give you the time of the day, Paultard. She'd stamp your forehead "DOMESTIC TERRORIST KOOK"

Perversion? Huh? Is that how you school cross walk guards think?

Now you are putting words, actions and deeds into other's mouths. When will your maddness stop?

I think I haven't regretted cancelling cable TV entirely two years ago for a single minute.

I think I'm close to 4 years without all those BS channels.

I do yearn for an occasional sporting event, but can usually find play-by-play or live radio coverage on the 'net.

Not in my book. I'm attracted to the whole package , the totality of the woman, not just looks (which I do not think Kelly ranks very high). On that basis I find Kelly about as attractive as I find Debbie Wasserman Schultz (a plurally ugly person).
