Looks like the sane news is marching to the peacock station.:2wave:
<She’s smart, funny, and, yes, hot. However, she is far from perfect and I have been critical of the way she manipulated her coverage of Donald Trump to her own career advantage, while withholding potentially vital information from her audience and the public domain until after her was elected president so as to better help her book promotion/sales.>
<First, let’s be clear that this is a promotion for Kelly. She will be making more money and reaching a larger, more diverse audience. However, a big part of why this happened was that a significant portion of the Fox News audience had been “turned off” by her general (though hardly universal) unwillingness to treat Trump as someone who was beyond significant criticism>
<The idea that Megyn Kelly, who is clearly right of center politically, could no longer “fit” at Fox News, despite strong ratings, is a pathetic indictment of how far off the cliff Fox News has drifted now that Sean Hannity and Julian Assange are now suddenly best buddies. It is also a testament to how much the audience of political-oriented media content is now “trained” to expect/accept nothing other than “information” which will act as affirmation for whatever it is that they wanted to believe in the first place.>
<Fox News watchers having a big problem with Kelly (and many of them do), is like fans of an NFL team calling on a member of their local broadcast crew to be fired because they refused to routinely deny when their team was turning the ball over.>
<It appears that Fox News is now taking the approach of a modern music radio station, where almost every program must play the same very limited number of “hit” songs within an extremely focused genre of content. The idea is to make sure that the core audience is never challenged or offended, and that way, especially when there are either enough attractive women, or videos of Trump, on the screen at all times, no one will ever turn them off (until, of course, the aging demographic they are targeting dies off).>
