By Elliot Smilowitz - 01/03/17 12:34 PM EST
Anchor Megyn Kelly has decided to leave Fox News to take a position at NBC, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
Kelly will take a triple role at NBC, the report said hosting a daytime news and discussion show, anchoring a Sunday night news show, and being a central part of the networks special coverage of politics and other big events.
Kelly was the second-most-watched anchor on cable news, behind only Foxs Bill OReilly.

(99,710 posts)Juan and Geraldo are there to be punching bags. I rather have people not stake out liberal positions only to get pushed around.

(43,049 posts)she's one of the smartest and toughest acts on TV news these days.
If you've noticed, she doesn't take much crap from the wingnuts and cuts their nuts off when they get out of line. I'm not really sure where her politics lie (which is a good thing for newscasters) although I suspect kind of Eisenhower Republican would be close.
Most people who argue with her tend to lose, so this will be interesting to watch.

(42,759 posts)Obviously the network is not concerned about biased opinion at their news desks.
Bucky
(54,020 posts)He left ESPN, MSNBC, and CurrentTV under similar clouds. I doubt he'll ever see a serious network gig in his future.
At least he ain't working for RT, tho. I'll bet they approached him at some point.
