Ellen let Megyn KELLY pander away from her wingnuttiness, then nicely blew her out of the water
So the wingnut It person was hosted on "Ellen" to peddle her jams and jellies (as Carol CHANNING said about plugging projects), desperate to get her new NBC show off the ground, and told Ellen that politics were never really her thing, that her family wasn't political, that she had gotten on the receiving end of TWITLER's barbs, that she didn't think he would be improved/changed when he took power but that she hoped he would unify the country, but that he was definitely a factor in her deciding to leave the Faux Propaganda Network (my name for it) because he put everything in focus for her, blah blah.
Ellen asked whether she would host TWITLER on her new show, and she said, "Of course, wouldn't you?!"
Ellen took a pause, then said, "No. (pause) Because for me to have somebody on my show there has to be something about them I admire. And I regard him as dangerous, personally and for everybody. Personally for me as a Gay woman and for everybody because he divides us (in a dangerous way)."
The supposedly-EX Fauxster ("Santa is White" ) could only sit there and look her conventionally pretty way, with a frozen smile while the audience applauded.

first term, wondering passionately to the cameras how on earth people could be expected to "put up with this," and how long people were going to "take it" (Obama and his evil plotting against America) before somebody just...did something. Her very misleadingly sweet face was particularly good for that.
That was during these days we'll all remember:
("“May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.” “May his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.”)
Fox and she had to mostly stop when called out for it, but they continued to drop little suggestions now and then all through Obama's presidency. Of course, that's only one of her genuinely depraved behaviors.
I'd throw a bottle of water out the window and report her to 911 if I came across that woman in trouble in the desert, but that's about all.
These people are so wrong and it makes me sad to think that they never realized what good he has done for our nation.
than I already do.. 
soulless media whore who will say and do anything for a highly-paid position as a talking model and propaganda agent. Bravo, Ellen.
Yeah, and it would be nice if someone put together a compilation of all her gross utterances while on faux, as a reminder to anyone with a short memory who think she's just peachy now.
I hope her new show crashes and burns just like Greta van Susteren's. No one cares what you have to say, megyn. Just go away.
the corporate structure of NBC is uncomfortable with Rachel, Lawrence, Chris, Joy et. al and hope to undermine their success by diluting the programming with the kind of vapid, vaguely "I'm in the middle (now) and isn't that where we all need to be*" content megyn represents.
*after RW ownership of media conglomerates has helped shove this country--at least in terms of what goes over the airwaves and passes for public policy these days--far right of what should be the actual center.
Granted, she was showcased up the ying-yang last year, what with that debate she moderated, and various other things. But then again, that was while she was at Pox Noise (or as I'm now starting to consider calling it, "FAKES News"
and if all you are is an audible fart in a field of 12-inch-diameter cow pies and other turd piles, well, I guess maybe that allows somebody somewhere to think you're the big superstar Alpha of the pack.
And I'm sure of one other thing, from observing these things for a long time. I haven't seen anything to suggest or confirm that a woman executive was involved in this hiring decision, in any way. I think it was all male-driven. And many times, as I've observed, male executives hire with their dicks. They're swayed by a pretty face, pretty blonde hair, nice clothes, nice skin, nice makeup, shapely legs and other parts, stylish or provocative clothing, stylish or provocative hair arrangements (Megyn specialized in that when she had long hair. Remember the way she'd wear it swept down in front, over one shoulder, leaving the other shoulder and neck open and bare? A come-hither hair style if ever I've seen one).
I remember when Jane Pauley was replaced as "Today Show" cohost by Younger-Blonder. They brought in Deborah Norville as the anchor who read the news breaks through the morning, and yeah, she was attractive. And she photographed well. And much was made about her "natty" clothes that she made, herself (yep, they used that word, too). God, I remember a stitchery-and-home-sewing magazine cover of her, with a large caption reading "Today Sewer!" Because she sewed her own clothes. But PLEASE!!! This was UNGODLY inappropriate and inopportune. Because by the time that feature ran in that magazine, shit - Deborah Norville had replaced Jane Pauley to the displeasure of the audience, and the show's ratings were what was down in the sewer! And I'm not talking the needle-and-thread and Vogue patterns kind of "sewer"! I remember spotting that magazine cover and, while I too thought they shouldn't have canned Jane Pauley, and I hadn't really warmed to Deborah Norville (like, um, maybe, HEY, STUPID, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, 'eh?), even I thought - "YIKES! That's really a low blow - why did some copy-editor allow that? Somebody shoulda caught that!"
The audience did not appreciate Jane Pauley being moved aside, the perception being that she was getting too old and they really needed to pep things up with a Younger-Blonder. Notice - all that time, NOBODY thought of doing anything to change the MALE cohost. Bryant Gumbel prevailed, safely, throughout. No, they mixed things up with the female cohost. And the "Today Show" ratings went straight down the drain and Good Morning America took over in mornings and reigned supreme for a long time. The audience didn't want a new cohost. Didn't care how pretty or photogenic or stylish she was. Didn't care about the homemade clothes and the presumably nice on-air personality. Didn't care. Didn't want it. Wasn't buying. Wasn't watching. Deborah Norville lasted roughly less than two years, and when she left on maternity leave, rumors spread through the network that she wouldn't be back. My supervisor at the AP picked up on them and we ran with that story, too. The "Today Show" didn't recover till Katie Couric was brought in, hopefully to save the day, and indeed did so.
I don't know who-all is old enough to remember any of this, but this was back around the same time when Al Franken was a writer/regular on "Saturday Night Live." The NBC Mensa member who thought up this brilliant idea to bring Younger-Blonder in to replace the popular and beloved Jane Pauley was a guy named Dick Ebersol. From everything I heard and read about him, he was gaga over Deborah Norville. Thought she was the big deal of big deals. Couldn't wait to move Jane Pauley out and move Norville in. I immediately assumed he had a crush on her. And he roundly took the blame from TV reporters and critics for making a spectacularly crappy decision. And he made a few other decisions as an NBC programming chief that affected "Saturday Night Live" and other things - some of which Al Franken didn't like. And he said so, one night, ON THE AIR, on SNL. He did a soliloquy about this lame-ass NBC executive who made all these lame-ass decisions, named him (Dick Ebersol), and concluded his bit by referring to Ebersol by name and declaring that the above-named lame-ass "doesn't know dick." Got a HUGE laugh and applause, as I recall.
Deborah Norville took time off with the nicely convenient excuse of being a new mom, and when she finally surfaced again, it was in the lower-profile news-reality pseudo-documentary cable ghetto. I think it was as host of "Inside Edition" or some such.
So lo these many years later, it's Phil Griffin or somebody with an upper-level corner office at 30 Rockefeller Plaza who fell for the Younger/Blonder they THOUGHT was a superstar, as THE key to up the ratings, and snapped up The Fetching Miss Megyn. And paid her a queen's ransom that she is NOT earning. Because I don't think women viewers like her. I frankly don't see why anybody likes her that much. I don't think she's any big deal, and I sure wouldn't tune away from something else to watch whatever show she's on. She's nothing special. And her ratings so far have confirmed this. She hasn't set ANYBODY on fire with the NBC audience, as somebody evidently assumed she would. I don't even follow her career track at NBC anymore. It's September. Has she started on the "Today Show - Hour 3" yet? I don't even know, and I care even less.
The twitterer (and twit) in chief twit- + his idol and political role model -ler
It seems like it is over but then it starts again with the good part..
She is one of the most amazing people ever. Bravo Ellen!!!
