For whatever it's worth, Megyn Kelly continues on her downward slide.

Lowest ratings since her NBC show's June 4th debut. Down to half the numbers she got back then. Still being beaten by reruns. OUCH.

MEGYN KELLY’S NBC SHOW IS STUCK IN A BAD PATTERN - Viewership has declined every week since it premiered.

NBC host Megyn Kelly’s Sunday night news magazine has lost viewers every week since its June debut, and last weekend’s episode was no exception.
The July 16 episode of “Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly,” a spotlight on sexual harassment in Silicon Valley, raked in 3.1 million viewers, according to Nielsen data, marking the show’s lowest viewer turnout since its June debut. This past Sunday’s episode, the sixth to air, earned a 0.4 rating in the sought-after 18-49 age demographic, which means that a mere 0.4 percent of those in that age group participating in Nielsen’s rating service watched the show.
The ratings are the latest in a disappointing pattern for the show: Viewership has dropped with each episode since its debut. The show’s premiere episode, an interview with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, debuted to 6.1 million viewers, though even that lagged behind the “60 Minutes” episode airing that night.
(snip)
Speculation into why Kelly hasn’t triumphed at NBC largely hinges on her past as a Fox News host.

That past may be costing her the loyalty of NBC’s more left-leaning audience.
Kelly’s second NBC show, a morning show to be taped in front of a live studio audience, will begin airing Sept. 25.

Hmmm... can't wait for that one, 'eh? They may have to check the audience for tomatoes and cream pies.

I gave her credit when she questioned/derided Karl Rove about "Republican math" after he questioned Obama's win in Ohio's presidential election.

They shouldn't consider even considering him for a time slot on MSNBC. He's straight Pox Noise if anybody is.

As I said in a letter I wrote to Phil Griffin recently - "Do you just have a thing for a bad fit? Do you buy your suits that way?"
