INSIDE MEGYN KELLY’S “SLOW-MOTION” COLLISION INTO MORNING TELEVISION
“People are just like, ‘oh my god,’” said one NBC insider.

NBC execs assuming Megyn Kelly appeals to a mainstream daytime audience reminds me of how the media always forgets Clinton got more votes.

she made no real attempt to restyle herself. She's still delivering Fox's message, just via CNN.

the kind of lies and dishonest twisting that should require firing.

they no doubt know how to do it, but Zucker wants Fox's conservatives.

“When you think of other cable news networks in the morning and in the evening in particular, they have partisans,” says Zucker. “At CNN, we have personalities. … I don’t think they’re interchangeable, but they are not partisan and that is the big difference, and it’s the reason there’s a lot of running room.” Uhuh.

Kelly.

She's garbage

I think it's Mondays ahow. You should be able to find it online

that's why he kept talking.
If you see the SM motioning, and there are specific motions for each situation, like a ref on a football field signaling penalties, you know to wrap it up and stop talking.
SOP in TV talk biz.
He didn't because it was just Kelly deciding to cut him off.

During a town hall Q&A type segment, Tom Brokaw was asked a question about the impact of the continuous 24 hour news cycle and, even after the question was repeated to him because he didn't hear it the 1st time, Mr. Brokaw decided to answer a completely different question that only he heard which was focused on gun control.


you can see the specific segment here:

Her years on Fox prove her to be a devious, lying shark, possibly without conscience, and there are thousands of examples elsewhere.

.... work for the weekday morning demographic on NBC.

(This just may be the worst picture of her face I've ever seen.)

BTW, Mika has her own inappropriate magazine picture--though it's not quite as bad.

What an affront to women anywhere...the subtext of that Mika and Joe photo is a microcosm of everything wrong with the objectification of women ...FFS, why not have her throwing panties and room keys at him too?

Megyn Kelly was always a female clone of O'Reilly's Fox News shtick in the first place, she never had the empathy or talent to survive on anything more than titillation and bombast anyway. I hope everyone at NBC responsible for hiring her and inflicting her on the nation in daytime loses their job and is forced to find work in a new industry as a result.

journalists. They're pundits at best and most of them are just cable news personalities. The majority of them are worthless.

I can't say that of Kelly.

she is not attractive to me, but I feel she should be. Maria Osmond has the same effect on me

What? You're not interested in her deep analysis of the Iran treaty?

I'll never watch her as in never

She is put doing a warm and fuzzy show and she is the opposite of that. In addition, she is a racist as mentioned before, but she is also ignorant of many things from being in the Fox bubble. She doesn't know a big chunk of what has really happened in this country from her time at Fox, and what she does think she knows is wrong.

Topping it all off is that she is a liar. I saw one thing, on one of the late night shows where they showed clips of her giving her opinions on a variety of issue from her time on Fox and then the last clip she is attacking someone on air because they do opinions while she is a "journalists who just reports the facts" and doesn't give opinions.

Have conditions improved?

Right now the uninsured are filing FEMA claims and getting the houses "demoed" (wet stuff out). Many are still waiting for $$$. The ones with insurance are filling out inventories (finishing my father-in-laws today) and waiting on the insurance companies to tell us what they are not going to pay for.

I heard a Climatologist on MSNBC say that Jefferson County, Texas (where I live) recorded the world-wide record 64 inches of rain from Harvey. Whew, I wondered since we just seemed to stay in the heaviest bands of rain day-after-day. I have never seen it rain so hard for so long. It got to be that I hated the sound of rain.

We have done this after Rita and Ike so we know the drill. The other shoe to drop that has everyone concerned is how much are our already high rates going to go up. My response is that now is not the time to discuss raising insurance rates!

Thanks for asking, what about where you are?

You taught me a new word 'demoed'.
64inches? That's an awful lot of rain. I can imagine you screaming please make it stop. Hope you recoer fully.

pandering to the lowest common ignorant denominator just doesn't work anymore? Did NBC forget about the successes of putting daring progressive pundits on MSNBC primetime, with views seldom expressed in other tv outlets? Viewers are NOT morons especially in the age of social media and instant communication.

Without intelligent and eye-catching content, you have nothing. That pretty face and blonde hair only goes so far.

and they don't confuse themselves by watching anything else.

show would have given them a clue as to who their audience really is. Maybe they think vacuous housewives are the only demo who watches AM TV like back in the 50's - 60's but even Morning Blow should have been a tip off for them.

I'll never watch it - except the crash and burn part.

about "liberal bias" and what the whack-astanis define as "the real America" that when they tried to take the BS as true, they're finding that they're losing audiences and revenue.

The corporate honchos still pushing this bogus model ought to resign or get fired.

He's probably NBC's version of Roger Ailes - as in horny, old, rich white guy who loves to play at politics.

I hope he gets fired over this. We should all start calling and emailing NBC to complain about MK and the fact that Tamron Hall was fired for her.

Tamron has more moral compass than that idiot exec at NBC.

Let Them Eat The Trash Cake of Megyn Kelly and Straight Up Trash Cake, It Is.

Idiot.

And the same guy who - almost - failed to renew Lawrence O'Donnell's contract. But we DUers had something to say about that. We all bombarded NBC with phone calls and emails telling them not to fire Lawrence. (It just happened in June.) Just because he listened to us one time doesn't mean he isn't an a-hole.

.

What were they thinking? That's the point, they weren't.

. . .they've overestimated the reach of Faux, forgotten that a large segment of the population loathes that network, and forgotten that that demographic is very resistant to change and therefore won't follow a Faux alum to the next place.

Don't know if this speaks to fox viewers or nbc incompetence

She's basically the equivalent of Jesse Watters.

...where was the indication that a political correspondent could switch to celebrity interviews and cooking segments?

Always a delight to whip out this old chestnut...

NSFW: Language.

For trying to turn MSNBC/NBC into Fox Light. Greta, Megyn...and...how's Hugh doing? They need to get rid of her and HIM.

that racist piece of crap always had updates on Fox, but nothing on NBC yet. The killing of crack babies was always a favorite, except to her chagrin that never happened.

were again pandering to Comcast.

Yes, it is that bad.
She seems to be a combination of Kathy Lee and Hoda with a studio audience thrown in and a soupçon of Sally Jesse Rafael just for good measure.
She also does the Ann Curry fake sincere thing.

While both involve "interviewing," they involve totally different styles. A news show does not demand as much charisma. A morning show is more of a performance than it is an interview.

She would probably do better on a news network, such as CNN, where the discussion is usually political and serious.

the style from one to the other just doesn't translate.

Also, I think she was a news story herself for about 15 minutes and somebody thought they could cash in on it.

...wish they could get the $17 million back... at least she won't get more. By the way, Jane Fonda has spoken about her cosmetic surgery. She regrets some - had breast implants removed.

fast things are going to hell? Really? How fucking stupid were they, WTF did they think was going to happen? NO SYMPATHY.

Sure, she made some great money from this deal, but she must be feeling so incredibly stressed. Her transition to the NBC world has been a professional nightmare for her.

I never cared for Kelly as a television personality, but I do not wish what she is going through on anyone.
