Maybe Megyn Kelly isn't the answer to all of NBC's problems.
Her 7 p.m. Sunday show, suffering from low ratings that plunged after her debut, has been pulled off the schedule after just eight weeks. The network "was angling for around 10 episodes," the New York Post reported, citing a defensive NBC source who said, The exact number of shows was never set, and that Kelly needs to be freed up to focus on Megyn Kelly Today. But the show was set to run for the summer -- and summer's got four more weeks. Plus, Kelly's morning show doesn't begin until Sept. 25, so there's plenty of time to continue the weekly news magazine. The show, humbly titled Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly, opened to big numbers when it debuted in June. Kelly scored an interview with Vladimir Putin -- the mainstream media's current whipping boy -- and some 6.1 million viewers tuned it. Kelly made sure to wear a dress with a high slit to show off her legs. But the latest episode brought just 2.7 million viewers, down from 3.1 million the week before -- and then, suddenly, NBC was done with the show, which routinely gets beat in the ratings by years-old reruns of Dateline. |

The bad news just keeps coming for MeAgain Kelly.
I think her career at NBC could implode and she'll have to retire by the end of this year.
Maybe Megyn Kelly isn't the answer to all of NBC's problems.

She decided to play the game of ridiculing Trump. We like Trump, so we stopped liking her.

I "like" neither. Throw both of the bums out.

Yep. Hosting that debate was the beginning of the end of her career.

*Exceptions: Any of the Trump female family members. Open season on depicting them as low-rent trash.

Well, she was 40 at the time. But they're just ... out of place somehow. Had these been taken before she became a journalist that would be different.

It wasn't the fact that she hosted it, it was the way she hosted it.
The real place where things began to change was in the debate between Obama and Mitt Romney, when the Crowley woman did an officious "fact check" of Romney's statement in the middle of his answer, thereby giving the media's open imprimatur to Obama.
Crowley got it wrong, too. What Romney said was true. It was clear after that that people on the Right could never win on the facts, because the media would challenge them, unanswerably, in the debate. What was needed was somebody who would come forward and attack the reporters themselves, taunt them, call them liars right in the debate. No regular politician, bred to caution, would EVER do that. Enter Trump. It's why he won.
Had the media treated him as a regular candidate, he would have been lost in the shuffle. Instead, they were baited by him and attacked, and he dominated the news cycles with his counter-attacks, his tweets, etc.
He isn't governing all that much differently. As Chief Executive, he is getting a lot done. The Republican Party in Congress has been an abject failure, but Trump has been moving the ball.

Much more than the MSM is telling us. No wonder they want him to stop tweeting.

Pretty much,although I personally take issue with ME "liking Trump".
I didn't vote for him because I liked him. I voted for him because I didn't hate him,and figured his massive ego would explode all over the political insiders that have been running this country without question for the last few decades.
So far I have been proven right about his ego not allowing him to take orders from the political pros,and they come further out from under cover and expose themselves as members of the Ruling Party, regardless of if they pretend to be a D or an R,with each day that passes.
There is some danger I might end up liking him before he leaves office because of this,though. If his presidency results in all those One Worlders having to come out of the closet and espose themselves to the public,Trump might end up going down as one of the greatest Presidents in American history,even if he doesn't do anything else.
If he gets the wall build and stops Muslim immigration,he will have greatness nailed.

The way I see it,she was trying to suck up to her new bosses,and it backfired on her.
Note to Megal Kelly and all other National News Wannabees. The leadership of the left LOVES to pretend that money means nothing to them and "social justice" means everything,but when you pull the scab off,it's PROFITS that is the true God they worship. They just pretend to be leftists because it makes them feel good about themselves while giving them a propaganda weapon to help them obtain ownership of the country at the same time.

Yeah,but a FINE 40. Who can blame her for getting those shots taken while she still had "the stuff" to look hot. The reality is physical beauty is on a downhill slide after 40 and there is nothing that can be done to prevent it.
I don't blame her at all for that. Being hot on top of being smart and aggressive is what got her the notice she needed to get the job with Fox.
Her mistake in judgment was her personally taking a hard-left turn the instant she hit NBC because she figured it would please her bosses and insure her career. Look at all the other talking heads on NBC for proof of this. Bunch of freaking parasites without an original thought of their own in the bunch. Strictly "Corporate Speak/Corporate reporting" is what has advanced the careers of all of them.
She SHOULD have taken a chance and gone after the left as well as the alleged right,and pulled in her viewers from Fox. The toadies that run NBC might not have like it personally,but they would have LOVED the ratings and kept her on and promoted her. They do leftism for a hobby,but their Only True God is named "Profits".

Well, I've been out in the open all along.
Granted, my form of one-world-ness - Catholicism - is the medieval model that the neo-One Worlders despise as much as they despise anything.
I just know that 'taint politics that will get us to MY one world. In fact, I already know how the story ends: we never get there, the project fails, and the world ends. A bit of a downer.

Right! Take the productvity from self disciplined societies and redistribute it among the savages and genetic primitives of the world and call it economic equality from the closet of supposedly Christ-like Marxism. I liked it better during the times when it was realistically and honestly known as thievery instead of being doctored up and hidden under a plethora of leftist neologisms.
Thievery. If everybody succumbs to thievery, the demogoges and the self deluded have promised us a more peaceful and loving world.

Don't call me that Hillary adjective. You'll scare me have to death and I'll be silenced forever. You should live so long.
I have a sudden flash for you. When groups of people have occupied areas of the Earth for tens or hundreds of thousands of years but failed to make an improvment in it, it's an expression, or confession, of genetic inferiority. Just because they know what the like and are given permission to steal it doesn't change anything. Whether they walk on two legs is irrelevant. I look for evidence of architecture, such as exists in Greece, Rome, China, or Japan. I look for the presence of prominent minds such as Aristotle, Descarte, von Niebliz, Newton, Erethophanes,Born, Confucious or Mencious. I look for development of systems of government. I look for systems of written language and education. I look for a general inventiveness, creativity, and application in the general population.
Without these you're dealing with genetic inferiors.

So does the US Post Office, come to think of it.
So do all of the professions that have licensing laws.

Not really. What they fear is UNFAIR competition. They are required by law to deliver mail to areas where private enterprises would refuse to go,and they are required to deliver mail there at a price no private company would ever agree to working for.
