Megyn Kelly will be leaving Fox News to join NBC as a host, proving that the network has not only decided to embrace the alt-right, but also that theyre preparing to normalize the Trump presidency. Ring of Fires Farron Cousins discusses this.

Further thoughts:
I think it was this past election night I watched NBC for a couple of minutes. They had Tom Brokaw in a round table with what must have been NBC's current staff (I gave up watching network news many years ago, so Brokaw was the only one I recognized). Brokaw usually has something intelligent and thoughtful to say, except he couldn't get more than a couple of words out before getting interrupted and talked over by one or more of the current idiots. I guess today on TV "good" commentary is expected to become a shouting match. I realized I haven't missed much by skipping TV news and will continue to read the paper & on-line sites.

(53,012 posts)And NBC doesn't claim to be liberal.
She doesn't "normalize Trump." She spent the last year in a living hell, surrounded by bodyguards because of Trump and his supporters threats against her. She believes he had her poisoned shortly before the first Republican debate.
The idea of segregating media is very bad for America. That is the situation that played a major roll in making Trump's election possible.
Some people say things like Santa is white; others say the working class is white. If one is racist, so is the latter.
I recently heard Kelly talk about sexual assault, and it bears no relation to the video's presentation of her views. I don't claim to have spent time watching Kelly on Fox. I haven't because I don't watch Fox, but I have listened to some interviews with Kelly. It was her statement that got rid of Roger Ailes and helped Gretchen Carlsen win her lawsuit.
The idea of anyone being shocked that major media corporations make decisions based on profit is ridiculous, as is believing Fox, MSNBC or that clip above constitute news.

(7,358 posts)She came out hard about the sexual harassment she endured during her tenure at FOX. I read she makes 9 million a year, perhaps her contract was up and NBC offered her way more money. That's what these talking heads do you know.
