Fox News boss Rupert Murdoch says that he wants to keep anchor Megyn Kelly at the network, but if she decides to leave “we have a deep bench of talent, many of whom would give their right arm for her spot.”
Murdoch, in an interview published in The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, also said that Fox News Channel hopes to keep Bill O’Reilly on the air in prime-time and that he doesn’t foresee major changes in the network’s direction after the Nov. 8 election.
Murdoch speaking publicly at this stage of negotiations to keep Kelly at Fox News was perhaps more startling than what he actually said. Murdoch has been chief executive at Fox following Roger Ailes’ departure this summer amid sexual harassment allegations, and is vice chairman of its parent company 21st Century Fox.
Kelly’s contract is up next year. But Fox would like to map out its future sooner rather than later, perhaps even settling Kelly’s status before the Nov. 15 publication of her book, “Settle For More,” for which she is expected to do promotional interviews.
Murdoch, who is a major stockholder in the Wall Street Journal, told the newspaper that he’d like to sign Kelly very soon. “It’s up to her,” he said.
A spokeswoman for Kelly did not immediately return messages on Thursday.
“I don’t remember the last time that the head of a major company went on the record to talk about a major negotiation with anything other than very banal comments,” said David Westin, a Bloomberg TV anchor and former president of ABC News.
Most such negotiations — and Westin has conducted several of them — take place in secrecy because that allows both sides to speak frankly and not tip off potential competitors, he said.
Westin declined to do so, but it led to immediate speculation about what sort of message was being sent to Kelly and anyone else at Fox in a post-Ailes world.
One possible message to her agents: It’s time to make a decision, and maybe you’re not worth as much as you think.
Kelly has been a central story in the election campaign, most recently this week. Former House Speaker and Fox contributor Newt Gingrich accused Kelly of being “fascinated with sex” when a Tuesday night interview about sexual misconduct allegations made against Donald Trump took a wrong turn.
Kelly has cultivated a reputation for toughness and a willingness to challenge conservative orthodoxy. Trump unleashed social media attacks on her last year after being angered by a debate question she asked about his attitude toward women, and boycotted a later Fox debate because of her presence as a moderator.
While she’s earned respect for standing up for herself, Kelly has also alienated some conservatives and Trump fans who are an important part of Fox’s audience. But at 45, Kelly is also seen as a key cog in the post-Ailes lineup at Fox, and losing her would be a public relations blow.
It’s not clear what else she would like to do in television, and who would sign her at the price tag she is likely to command from Fox. Kelly hosted a prime-time interview show on the Fox broadcast network last spring — Trump was one of the subjects — but it was not considered a success. She’s signed on as a guest host on Kelly Ripa’s syndicated talk show for the day after the election.
Ratings during the past couple of weeks, during a particularly hot time for cable news, show Kelly is a commanding but not necessarily dominant presence.
She beat her time period competitors, Anderson Cooper at CNN and Rachel Maddow of MSNBC, in viewership on seven of the past 10 nights for which ratings were available, the Nielsen company said. She had a built-in advantage: “The Kelly File” is preceded by O’Reilly’s show, which consistently delivers a bigger audience.
Yet in the 25-to-54-year-old demographic used as a basis for advertising sales by news networks, Kelly beat both of her competitors only once in 10 nights. Maddow won five times in the demo, and Cooper won four. Three times, Kelly finished behind both CNN and MSNBC in the demo.
There have been some suggestions that Fox would moderate its tone politically post-election and post-Ailes. In the Journal interview, Murdoch seemed to throw cold water on that idea.
“We’re not changing direction,” he said. “That would be business suicide.”

I THINK MEGHAN KELLY IS A ROBOT, AND SHE DIDN’T FALL OUT OF HEAVEN EITHER. WHAT SHE DID TO NEWT GINGRICH WAS SNEAKY AND UNNECESSARY, BUT EVERYONE KNOWS SHE’S IN THE TANK FOR HRC SO I WILL NO LONGER WATCH THE KELLY FILE. SEAN HANNITY IS THE BEST THING ON ALL MEDIA BECAUSE HE GIVES MR. TRUMP A FAIR CHANCE WHILE NEARLY ALL OTHER TALKING HEADS BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF HIM CONSISTENTLY, AND LOVE IT.
AFTER THE ELECTION, WAIT TO SEE THE RATINGS ON OTHER NETWORKS. THEY’LL TANK BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS HOW CORRUPT THEY ARE AND OWNED BY BO AND HRC WITH FAVORS, MONEY AND PROMISES. THE MEDIA USED TO BE WHERE ONE WENT FOR ‘INFORMATION’. THOSE DAYS ARE GONE THANKS TO THE PRESENT CROOKED, ANTI-AMERICAN POTUS. GOD BLESS AND SAVE AMERICA, PLEASE … OR WE’LL LIVE IN A FASCIST 3RD WORLD NATION.
Ron says
Megan Kelly made her success the old fashioned way. She swallowed and spread her legs all the way up the ladder!! What a total stinky skank she is. Woooooooooooo!!!! Roger Hulled that skank out!!!
capt ron says
Ron …
. Are you saying you know something no one else knows ? …
. While I am no fan of MK when you point a finger at some one,
remember the rest are pointed back at you. …
. Sounds like your mind runes in the direction Newt said MK’s goes.
Mary says
People can’t seem to stand anyone not totally agreeing with them. Hannity is the mirror image of koolaid drinking Juan Williams.
PETRU says
soon or later she will be fire. she is UNDERCOVER HARD LEFT DEMOCRAT.
shame for FOX NEWS.until she will be fire, myself.my family and my frends NEVER WACH FOX NEWS.
john riley says
Kelly is a covert operative for the Clinton campaign. She spends more time making negative Trump comments than honestly assessing the unfitness of Clinton to lead our nation. After the O’Reilly Show, I tune to Lew Dobbs. More and more conservatives will also begin to quit watching Kelly. The larger question is this: Are the people in control of Fox News also in the tank for Clinton?
Robert Huttmann says
I agree and I will not watch her anymore. I also switched to Lou Dobbs.
LaVonne Andersen says
agreed
Mario Almeda says
Me too.
Mr. Murdoch you know that the party is over. Get one of the many talented people that you have, and give that person the opportunity.
Nice face and good looking’s is not what is important in this business.
Integrity, honesty and passion about the truth is more important.
Don,let her drag the reputation the Fox News and yours, for the floor.
M P Jones says
Right on!
James large says
I and others like me they will not watch. Megan. Kelly
Jeanne Morton says
I too turn off Kelly. She is about as transparent as glass. She definitely pro Clinton. She is smart, and I think pretty and has achieved a certain amount of fame at FOX. Newt really got to her and her closing remark proved that to be true. I hope she leaves and goes to CNN or MSNBC. She will not be missed. If she stays at FOX, their ratings for that hour will take a nose dive, if they have not already. Then let’s see how interested FOX is in keeping her. Their advertising revenues will go down and that is what the networks watch. When that happens it will be curtains for Ms. Kelly.
Arthur Hartsock says
Ms. Kelly is aiming for one of the ‘Big Three’ network jobs. But the irony is that she gets more publicity/exposure where she is now. And Big Three Network News is getting smaller in importance every year. So she ought to change her tune and campaign to keep her job at Fox. The only logical alternative is to go independent like Glen Beck/the Blaze.
Arthur Hartsock says
Hate to disappoint you, but she has a huge audience. You not watching doesn’t bother her.
Clearhead says
Well, maybe NOT YET Art, but remember that TIME GOES ON.
carol says
l agree your comment and think she is also hates men…I watched her once and that was enough for me…I wish I watched Newt the other nite…I heard he was great because why bring up the past again. Its so sad she cares less about our country..I watch Sean .. I would get rid of her… .
ROSSETTA says
I AGREE COMPLETELY, MEGAN KELLY SCHOOL IS AS THE CNN, SHE SHOULD DO MUCH BETTER IN THERE. FOX IS MAKING MISTAKE THINKING THAT THEY WILL BE BETTER OFF HAVING HER IN THERE, BUT ALL “BASKET OF DEPLORABLE”, THE NEEDY LATINS, ARE NOT GOING TO WATCH FOX ANYMORE IF THEY KEEP PEOPLE LIKE HER; AND THIS IS NOT ONLY MY WORDS, I HAVE HEARD THIS SO MUCH IN MANY PLACES. FOX MAKE A BIG MISTAKE WHEN COMPARING KELLY WITH O’REILLY. O’REILLY IS ACADEMIC WITH LOT OF EXPERIENCE.
Arthur Hartsock says
CNN doesn’t have one tenth the audience of Fox. And Megyn is smart enough to know this. She’ll never go to CNN, unless they pay her ungodly sum.
Mario Almeda says
NO ONLY EXPERIECE, MY FRIEND…
Like I had say before… this is a thing of honesty, responsibility and above everything else… Love for the TRUTH !
Henry Flynn says
I could NOT have said it better!! Thanks for your input! I do not watch Kelly, anymore. At first, liked her,when I thought she was neutral, but she will even argue with the facts, if the facts are in favor of Trump!
John says
Good job telling it as it is. Megyn is a motormouth reporter who has sold her talent to HRC. I don’t watch her anymore.
Jaynieq says
Well Anthony Weiner was the one who was the culprit they decided to investigate re: Weiners sexting investigation. They found all these emails again???? Let’s see isn’t his wife Huma Abedein? These new emails are from a different source.
If there was no culpability why would they be bringing up new evidence? This is a criminal investigation for Weiner! What could this do if they find the original significance stemmed from Hi Liar y!
Jaynieq says
I think Megyn Kelly overstepped her bounds both with Mr Pence, and With Newt! I can’t believe she treated them with such disrespect but to tell Newt he needs psychological help for remarks he made regards a sex preditor, we will not watch her again!
Todd says
Fox should do the smart thing and let her go. She should be at CNN where she belongs. She definitely seems to have the far left mentality, and appears to be a shill for the dems, all while our country goes down the tubes. Also SHAME on FOX for not reporting more on the voting machines in many states that are blatantly changing votes from TRUMP to hillary. This is real news that should be reported on a regular basis. Fox should give Hannity a two hour spot and lose megan’s femenist, disrespectful, and sometimes un-American attitude! When she comes on, I quickly change the channel!!!!!!!
John Nolan says
This sexist is as evil as CHRC; and uses her platform to denigrate men as often as she can – certainly, not fair or balanced. She deserved all of the vitriol that came her way by attacking Mr. Trump, and Speaker Gringrich did not take it far enough (being the Southern gentleman he is) with Ms. sexless sexist . She just demonstrates and projects the same false narrative of the abhorrent male sexual biases out of the so called “modern-day” woman’s feminist playbook, directed unjustly and indiscriminately toward all men, while maximizing her sexuality talent for gain and power (or money), just like any common street walker ! She turns me off.
As for shouting down her guests, she is more harsh and rude than Bill O’Reilly.
I have a great newfound pleasure is pushing the “change station” button going back to NBC. You’re fired !!!
liberty49 says
I agree Hannity and Lou Dobbs are the best thing to happen to Fox. I will never watch Megyn Kelly again.
Daisy says
I really miss Greta.
Darlene M says
I don’t like Megyn Kelly – NEVER did. I don’t see what the big deal is with her. There are many other talented and PRETTY Fox News real journalistic women who could take her place. Infact, anytime she goes on vacation, or takes time off, I end up liking her “fill in” much better. She acts like her shit doesn’t stink. I can tell by how she talks and acts that she’s “in the tank” for Hillary. And what’s with Rupert Murdoch wanting Megyn there? Come on Rupert, there’s other nice looking, talented women at Fox who could do the job better. Kelly is NOT that good. My husband can’t stand her, nor can I, so when it comes time for her show, we change the channel. She does seem to have a “fixation” with sex and likes to over dramatize things pertaining to sex, especially when it comes to Trump. Night time news on Fox would be so much better without her. She’s a nit picker and likes to cause trouble. I say let her go. She’ll find work elsewhere. With the “view” she takes, Megyn would be more suited for CNN or MSNBC..
Karen Saviano says
I am a long time fan of FOX but no longer watch Megan Kelly after the horrible way she treated Newt Gingrich. I’m not quite sure what point she was trying to make but in my opinion it stunk. She was great at the beginning of her career on Fox but now has turned into a conceited little snot. Yes – shes in the bag for Hillary and has total hate for Donald Trump. It’s so shamefully obvious. Go ahead Fox – Replace her. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way. I watch Lou Dobbs instead.
gilbert chavez says
Kelly is worthless she belongs working for the clintons,which she proably is already
I watch fox news but when she comes on,I shutit off anymore,
M P Jones says
Yep!
Mark says
I am too and all of my friends also.
Myrtle WALSWORTH. says
iN THE BEGINNING OF THE ELECTION,I really like her,,,,BUTTTTT when she went against TRUNP, I went against her & never watch her again My main ones are Sean Hannity JUDGE JEANINE PIRRO & BILL O’RIELLY..
Annette says
Need to let her go! She is about herself and nothing more, more and more people will not watch her I am one of them!
michael landree says
meygan kelly should remain at fox. she at least maintains some creditibility at the right wing news network by the way i rarely watch. CBS evening news is by far the best out there!!
Gail Biggert says
I would think you would have got enough leftist indoctrination by watching CBS without watching Megyn Kelly !!!
M P Jones says
Right.
By the way, I have a bridge for sale!!!
J. Badillo says
???… michael, try again, but this time THINK before you say ANYTHING.
liberty49 says
You are brain dead. Kelly should move to one of the MSM networks.
E. N. Chambers says
Meghan Kelly needs to go. I have never understood the attraction to her, either by Fox or the public. She is not a good journalist and is not “fair and balanced” as the network advertises. Her biggest problem is she thinks she’s cute and funny. Neither of which is true. She cuts people’s mike’s off after she has said something she thinks is cute, so they cannot respond. The exchange with Newt the other day was terrible. She should have been taken off the air until she can have some training on what her job should be.
Jim says
Kelly’s negative bias against Trump is evident in the anger she displays toward anyone that supports him. EVERY NIGHT, no matter what story she is speaking to, she manages to put a negative spin on it toward Trump. I don’t know if she is obsessed with sex, as Newt pointed out, but she is certainly obsessed with the goal of keeping Trump out of the White House. She hates him and there is no reason for that hatred. Kelly epitomizes what Trump followers refer to as the corrupt media; so, slanted to the left of center it is not funny. TRUMP 2016!!! Kelly OFF THE AIRWAYS!!!
Roberta says
I totally agree! She just laid into Newt, but he came back with a venegance. Good for him – that is why he was a
great Speaker of the House! Kelly was totally out of line and Newt called her on it. At first – she did not know how to respond, shame on her. The past is the past – Trump has bigger things to worry about and more issues to discuss with the American people!
martha says
I skip her show and come back on Hannity. He is the best we have. He tells the truth and explaining us so clearly. I hope FOX keeps him forever.
Susan says
Me too me and my husband watch other shows instead of Megan like Kennedy she’s so funny she so outgoing happy tells the truth and nothing but the truth if she doesn’t know the truth she asks stop watching Megan Kelly look what she did when she was younger she was nothing but a hoe and talked about her husband’s personal parts when she was pregnant and talking about what she was doing when she was younger on a radio show it’s disgusting she could do it but men another women can’t talk like personal things but it’s OK for her to talk about her personal private parts live on a radio show what a hypocrite!!! Do not watch Megan Kelly she turn the story around she doesn’t tell the truth she’s by is just like NBC ABC MS NBC they’re all buyers they won’t tell the truth America about Hillary she has killed so many people in Haiti and now she wants to be president look what Hillary Clinton’s brother did took the money instead of rebuilding Haiti people need to read the book Hillary’s cash Clintons cash Hillary America three books read them !
CJ says
Amen to that
Roberta says
Hannity is the BEST and most fair. Thank goodness FOX News has him – he is a Keeper and well worth what he is being paid……
Gigi Pertis says
You are perfectly right. Hannity is the ONE to watch and Lou Dobbs and Varney on business Fox
Ann Ashfield says
Mark Levin is going to have a conservative station…I will watch that. I am sick of the liberal spin on Fox these days.
M P Jones says
Yep.????
Karen M Simpkins says
If this is the way Mr. Murdoch feels about Kelly and the diretion or lack thereof, he obviously wants Fox News ratings to
continua its’ downward spiral ! I had been a loyal and dedicated viewer since its inception. I am no longer. I can watch the same load of liberal progressive propaganda on MSNBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, etc. I’m done with Fox News as are most of the people I know.
Clearhead says
We doubt you know very many ‘people’ Karen !!
outlawliberalism says
I was paying $100 a month for direct tv to keep fox news. Thanks to fox for toting hillary’s line, I just had direct tv shut off and am saving $100 a month. These people don’t seem to care that their savior 0bama is on video saying the same things Trump said. It just amazes me how nobody seems to do any research on 0bama. I was a democrat supporter until I say the videos in 2008 of 0bama ripping Americans apart, the guy literally hates us with more than a passion and nobody cares.
james vallely says
It is okay for M to talk about her breasts and the size of husband member as she is a a woman, Don’t let a man do it then she says it not right Hypocrite. I also turn her off as quickly as possible and come back to Hannity
Rob c says
With Megan Kelly if it’s sleazy it leads always so sad. I used to like her but I prefer real news not personal attacks, if that’s all she wants to do is accuse Trump before anything is proven then she isn’t doing the viewers any service. Hillery is awful in so many ways but not much reporting on that. I turn channels as soon as she comes on. There is a topless photo of Hillery circulating on Facebook from the 1960’s with her lesbian lover if you are interested in sleaze Megan. Report on that!
CJ says
She’s a younger Nancy Grace wannabe
JIM says
MEGAN KELLY IS AN OVER PAID NEWS CASTER WHO IS BITTER AT THE WORLD AND NEEDS TO BECOME FAIR AND BALANCED LIKE FOX PROPORTS TO BE .
IT IS EVIIDENT SHE HAS A CHIP ON HER ATTITUDE.
M P Jones says
BIGLEY!!!
Julie says
I hate the time gap between O’Reilly and Hannity. I switch channels, take a shower, walk the dog, or just anything to avoid “Kelly Kontact.” She is vicious and evil. I wish Hannity followed Bill O’Reilly and my life would be so much better. I am a woman and I respect all of the other female Fox anchors and journalists, but Megah is hard to stomach.
Mary. says
No longer watch her, haven’t since the first Primary debate.. She adds nothing to Fox News. I usually switch to the Business Channel.
I can think of several replacements for her time slot. Judge Jeanine,
Kimberly Guilfoyle, Andrea Tantara ( who they fired, we don’t know why) Eric Boling, to name a few. Fox has a lot of talent, and Megan Kelly is not among them.
shirley says
yes you are right…..she thinks herself the queen of fox and everyone of the others are her subjects. I can’t stand her arrogrance, self admiration and her SEXY APPEARANCE MOST OF THE TIME SHE LOOKS SO SLEESY…How will she cover President Trump
Peter says
I record the 2 shows and then watch them back to back. This also allows me to fast forward the pesky ads extras etc.
Pure bliss!
Anniegyg says
I wrote and called the Fox News Station two days ago. I encouraged them not to keep MK. I believe she is no longer truly reporting news. She has become too emotionally involved and I believe she has crossed over to the other side. I believe in fighting for and using our voices for women’s rights… for all people’s rights but, she has become smurky and just outright rude. May we all continue to pray for our nation as we approach this very historical day in our history…November 8th…may we continue those prayers after the elections!!!
Janie says
Megan Kelly ,sucks.She’s so stuck on herself and her man hair do looks like crap.She treated Newt, like he was an idiot which he is not. I will never watch her show again.She would do better to go back to Howard Stern,and tell everyone about her sex life again.Fox better get its stuff together or it will lose all of its fans!
M P Jones says
Well said! ???? ????
mercer macpherson says
When Megan came on the scene with Fox, she was # 1.
Now, with the elections in full force, her true colors are showing. She is no longer a journalist, but an activist for the Clinton Cartel. Too bad.
I have watched Fox for many years. I DVR a few of the Fox programs…one of which was the Kelly Files.
I have NOW deleted my DVR of the Kelly Files. I will no longer watch Megan Kelly.. She is just an extension of CNN & MSNBC.
Knowing how the Clinton people paid protesters to incite riots at the Thrump functions, is there any doubt that they did not pay these so-called “innocent” women to come forward to say they were assaulted by Thrump. Especially, the porn star that came out and said Thrump grabbed her by the arm!
Mickey Monett says
Megyn Kelly is a very rude and nasty person. She promoted herself by appearing on Howard Stern years ago and also having provoctive pictures of herself published.
Lou Dobbs is the person I watch every night and Hannity if I stay up late. I have never watched her show before and now millions of conservatives will most likely stop watching her show also.
[email protected] says
At times I like the Megen Kelly show but I really do detest the way she always brings up the women card especially on Donald Trump I believe Newt was correct in the way he pounced on her comment she is against Trump she is not fair and balanced as they brag so obvious. I do hate that part of her show but she does touch on some good topics but Megan drop the poor women act we want to be treated equally not a flower on the wall the way Newts comments hit you and your reaction spells he was correct??
Justin W says
The opening comment says it all. Fox has made an offer. If she doesn’t take it they don’t plan to negotiate.
If Trump loses, many conservatives are likely to begin blaming those who they see as people who helped make that possible. Megyn will be on that list. Going forward there is going to be a large part of the population who is going to look for a source that will report every moral lapse of President Hillary Rotten Clinton. If Megyn refuses to do so she will be demonized and her ratings are likely to plummet.
Chucky says
Dear Karma, you missed a name on the list, Megan Kelly!
Rambit McGoo says
Ol Rupert may change his tune when Megyn shakes him down and accuses him of Sexual Harrassment
HOGRANCH says
GOOD CALL MC GOO
Gil says
Megan Kelly could leave Fox News and never be missed. As well as Bill O’Reilly.
PETRU says
WHY DONT BRING BACK G R E T T A??SHE CAN GIVE LESON TO MEGHYN!!
Lois Evers says
I loved Gretta and miss her so much . She truly did report news FAIR AND BALANCED !! Bring back Gretta !!
Presela Anne says
How UNFORTUNATE that Rupert Murdoch wants Megyn Kelly to “stay.” Yeah, I’d imagine this MEDIA WHORE might be acceptable eye candy for men, HOWEVER, I find her self-righteous all up-in-arms attitude towards Donald Trump to be simply despicable, disgusting, and UNACCEPTABLE. Actually, as soon as Megyn Kelly got her own show, I only watched it a couple of times, because I saw absolutely where her leanings go, and I saw that what this PRESSTITUTE wants is to be worshipped, fawned over, and adored, and that she is willing to do ANYTHING in order to achieve that. Even support and vote for a corrupt criminal, as long as said corrupt criminal is a woman. God Help Us. THIS is what “feminism” has come to? Getting a woman into the White House who is SO CORRUPT TO HER CORE that I am surprised she has not spontaneously combusted from all the TOXINS in her soul. Megan Kelly poses in some sexy black lingerie, THEN has the NERVE to criticize Donald Trump for the way he supposedly treats women? Seriously? Kelly is the BIGGEST HYPOCRITE on Fox, and basically, if she left the network, I don’t think it would effect much of anything, except that many of us would not have to endure listening to her drivel anymore, which would be a good thing. I hear her ratings aren’t that good, anyway, because America KNOWS she is propping up a woman who should already be in prison. If she leaves Fox she is likely to end up on another network anyway, probably one that also worships at the crooked altar of Hillary Clinton. I say LET KELLY GO. PLEASE. Fox is TOO GOOD for Kelly.
janet says
Presela,
Amazingly, it seems that certain feminists believe there is no such thing as a corrupt woman, and that it is only men who do harm…
I’ve known a few women who seem to think that way.
percy says
You Republicans and Independents are being awful hard on Megyn Kelly. She is the one who will get Hilary elected. So what if she tells a few lies about Trump. Don’t you really – deep down – want a Woman President to be in charge? We just need to watch Hilary a lot closer after we get her in so she won’t have a bunch of Vince Foster guys dead on the white house lawns and that she does not run off with too much more of the taxpayers goodies. All in all though I kind of like being a Democrat.
shirley says
ARE YOU FOR REAL…WE CAN’T WATCH A CROOK LIKE HER….YOU BETTER WATCH OUT YOUR LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE IF SHE GETS ELECTED. POOR PERCY
Presela Anne says
Seriously? “Deep down” don’t we ladies all want a “woman” to be president? Sorry, but FYI, there are still lots of HONEST PEOPLE in the world who simply CANNOT ABIDE by the corruption that this “woman,” Hillary Clinton, is made of, and that she practices on a DAILY BASIS. 24/7. As for a woman being president, YES, whole-heartedly, I’d LOVE TO SEE A WOMAN BECOME PRESIDENT. JUST NOT THIS WOMAN. The idea that Hillary Clinton apparently thinks—-along with her supporters—–that she needs to be GIFTED with the presidency, when she has done NOTHING to deserve it, is what makes me SO DISAPPOINTED in my own female sex that I want to run screaming down the street. Also, the “example,” as a woman, that Hillary Clinton has given the world is so beyond SHAMEFUL. It is despicable, disgusting, vicious, and in a way, makes me ASHAMED of the fact that she IS a woman. What kind of “example” is she setting for young women today? Or ANY WOMEN who SUPPORT HER? The example she is giving to the world, AS A WOMAN, is that it is OKAY TO BE CORRUPT, IT IS OKAY TO BREAK THE LAW, IT IS OKAY TO NOT PLAY BY ANY RULES OF DECENCY, as long as IF IN THE END YOU STILL WIN. THAT IS THE MESSAGE AND EXAMPLE THIS VINDICTIVE “WOMEN” IS SENDING OUT. And personally, I feel BETRAYED by my own sex, I am ASHAMED for all those who have bought this crap. TRUTH IS TRUTH, LIES ARE LIES, CORRUPTION IS CORRUPTION. I would rather see that justice were served on someone who has done as many wrong as this woman has. Because JUSTICE is far more important to the world at large, and our AMERICA, then BLINDLY & DESPERATELY putting a woman like this at the HELM of our country. GET OVER YOURSELVES, “LADIES.” Vote for what is RIGHT for America, not for what is supposedly “right” in order to finally win against the “man.” God Help Us. VOTE FOR TRUMP. He is not perfect, HOWEVER, at this time, at this juncture, he is the ONLY CLEAR CHOICE, to try and get America back on track. And beyond all this, who could possibly WANT TO BECOME PRESIDENT BY STEALING THE JOB??? IF she wins, it won’t be an HONEST WIN, and millions upon millions will NEVER accept that she won this election without rigging it, with the help of all those around her who are CORRUPT, just like her.
FOR GOD’S SAKE, AMERICA, WAKE UP. PLEASE, BEFORE IT IS REALLY TOO LATE.
Clearhead says
Your grade: A+ (and rising).
Alice K says
I thought Megyn’s question to Donald at the first debate was a little mean spirited in the way she asked it, but respected her right to do it. But then she never let it go. Then when Hillary’s campaign came out with the access Hollywood audio, Megyn was just way to gleeful to see this happening to him. That’s when I said “enough”. I watch Fox News all the time, but now at 9pm I switch over to One America News for the hour.
Jeanette says
It sounds like many conservatives who used to watch Megyn no longer do so, so Rupert honey, you and Megyn’s other dozen fans go right ahead and watch her!
lizaz says
Fox News would be better off without her. She doesn’t respect her guests, argues with them to the point of being rude, only she is right about issues and she exudes arrogance every time she speaks. We have stopped watching her since she tried to take down Donald Trump. She used to be good and we looked forward to her program. She had interesting stories and exposed hidden facts and seemed to be on the side of the viewers. Now she seems to be only on her own side….more like MSNBC or CNN. We watch Lou Hobbs, O’Reilly, Trish Regan, Neil, Stuart Varney and Judge Jenine, of course. Murdoch is right….there is lots of talent who could easily take her place.
Calvin Harwick says
Lizas:Good choice
Seladah says
I never have cared for Kelly and her rude interviews, and after the Newt interview I will never watch her again. What a disgusting woman!!
cclearly says
Fox News should replace Megyn Kelly with another person she is just full of herself
I agree with the other postings when they say they turn her off and wait until another show is on.
I do the same PLEASE don’t renew her contract
Seladah says
I never have cared for Kelly and her rude interviews, and after the Newt episode I will never watch her again!
nancy b says
get rid of Megyn Kelly!!!!!!!!!!! maybe she is a personal friend of Crooked Hillary
Calvin Harwick says
She is a feminist who thinks she is somebody and wants to capitalize off of it,with no talent other than an agenda from a script.Apparently by someone blind sighted with her fascination to him.
Calvin Harwick says
“we” Apparently Rupert has a t**d in his pocket.She thinks she is Gods right hand ambassador.
Linda Kimble says
Kelly is a liberal hack. Used to love to watch her…..I change the channel the minute she comes on….can’t stand to listen to her berate conservatives and she does very little to show any real conservative side. Honestly I think she is he’ll bent on old wound revenge against trump…..not much conservative about her with most of her guests she helps promote a left agenda….horrid
Charles Eisterhold says
I, and a lot of my friends have been FoxNews fans from day 1, but no longer, the network has too many losers now appearing on a regular basis, Kelly should go join CNN or maybe even Howard Stern, I am a Catholic, and I find it hard to believe that she is one!!
SAM says
I THINK MEGAN IS RUDE AND REALLY INTO HERSELF. FOX WOULD BETTER THEMSELVES GREATLY IF THEY GOT RID OF HER. I DIDN’T LIKE HER ON THE SHOW BEFORE THE ONE SHE IS ON NOW. SHE IS A BIASED INTERVIEWER, WHO REALLY SUCKS UP TO SOME AND TRIES TO BELITTLE OTHERS. FOX SHOULD GET RID OF HER NOW, CONTRACT OR NOT. RATINGS WOULD GO UP WITHOUT HER.
janet says
I started to dislike MK when she laughed mockingly at Dinesh D’Souza for expressing the view that, compared to most black men, Obama had enjoyed a rather privileged life before he got into politics. Dinesh is a fine man and I found her condescension inappropriate and offensive.

I love watching Megan Kelly. I have not seen her rude or pro Hillary. i don’t know what the agenda is for these anti people! She’s the one program I will watch. It’s O’Reilly that drives me nuts, with interrupting people all the time. Why does he even bother to have guests? He doesn’t listen to them and will stop them in mid sentence. He’s the one I don’t watch as much any more.
Ollie Octopus says
You got it half right. The part about O’Reilly.
Kermit says
You must sleep through her shows, because she is one mean vicious lady.
shirley says
really Grace….You apparently don’t have very much common sense…try really listen… you will learn how bias your darling Megyn is.
Presela Anne says
To the poster above who says that Megyn Kelly has shown “no bias” TOWARDS HILLARY, I gotta ask, are you SURE you are watching “THE KELLY FILE?” ON FOX??? Kelly has shown NOTHING BUT BIAS AGAINST TRUMP, while worshipping at the corrupt altar of her Demoncratic Goddess. It is SO BLATANT that it honestly induces in me, and apparently many others, outright NAUSEA. I can barely stand to LOOK at this woman. SHE NEEDS TO BE GONE, I find it DISGUSTING that she has that cushy 8pm timeslot (Midwest), and I find it DISGUSTING that Rupert Murdoch goes on record saying he wants her to stay. MR MURDOCH, WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT MORE PEOPLE DESPISE THIS MEDIA WHORE THEN ACTUALLY LIKE HER? What about the fact that obviously, LOTS OF VIEWERS WANT HER GONE? Apparently in America, the MINORITY gets clout, while the MAJORITY have to suffer in silence, because they WHINE about being the MINORITY. God Help Us.
HOGRANCH says
IT IS AMAZING TRUMP GETS SLAMMED FOR TOUCHING WOMEN, WILLY IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE RAPING THEM ONE AFTER ANOTHER. SO I ASK YOU, WHO YOU WOULD WANT TO WATCH YOUR CHILDREN? SLICK WILLY THE RAPIST OR D TRUMP?.
Jim says
I do believe Megan scr…… her way to the top and I for one have not listened to anything she has to say for several months. She does not have a clue about fair and balanced.
Nora Wiley says
If Murdoch wants to keep Kelly, he can lose the viewers. Simple choice. We want her gone. He doesn’t listen then boycott the entire network. Maybe Hannity and Judge Jeanine and anybody else who is decent on that channel will create their own network.
MaxVeritas says
There must be at least a half-a-dozen incorrect variations of Megyn. Are they from the no child left behind group? Thus far I have seen Meygan, Megan, Meagan, Meghan and Megen to name a few. I’m Max Veritas and I approve this nitpick.
Ollie Octopus says
It makes no difference if she stays or goes, because I won’t watch her either way. I now turn to Fox Business and look for Lou Dobs.
jemb says
When Kelly cut her hair and chose to portray a less feminine look she became hardened and far less lady-like. She also reflected a more liberal tone to her voice, reflecting the impression of dislike for Donald Trump and the Conservatives. Is she Hillary’s secret weapon?
J. Badillo says
Megyn Kelly, unfair and unbalanced, way to go FOX. She needs to go…
phyllis says
I don’t like her or watch her.
Louisa says
Megyn Kelly was so disrespectful to Newt Gingrich…and telling him he should “get his temperment under control” to which he told her she should do the same. I really can’t stand her anymore and I, like everyone else, turn to another channel until Hannity comes on. I wish she would go to CNN or MSNBC, then we don’t have to ever see her again.
Rebecca Grau says
I will never watch Ms. Kelly again. NEVER! Have become a huge fan of Lou Dobbs, Stuart Varney, Charles Payne and most others on Fox Business Network. And Neil Cavuto, of course! Will continue to support Bill O’Reilly, Bret Baer, Martha McCallum, and the incredible Judge Jenine, but few others on FNC. The “Big Boys” better remember the audience that made them #1 in the ratings for so long. We’re paying attention!
Kermit says
Welcome to the “FOX, CNN hour starting Megan Kelly”. I cannot watch Megan, she is one mean lady and I would rather watch Anderson Cooper than her. I don’t understand why, with her political leaning she is given a prime time slot. When FOX aired I had a satellite service that did not carry them, so I dropped their service and signed up with another satellite carrier, and have been a loyal follower ever since. I have Comcast now, and have enjoyed the many programs offered by FOX over the years, but Megan is not one of them. Obama has looked at ways he could use the FCC to shut FOX down and I wonder if Megan was hired to appease the Administration. Advertisers are getting a bad deal since her audience is shrinking.
mark says
We want that POS to leave.
Rita Ritter says
I THINK MEGAN SHOULD GO. I THINK HANNITY SHOULD TAKE HER PLACE AND O’REILLY NEXT I THINK THE RATES WOULD GO UP. I AM NOT PLEASED WITH FOX THINGS HAVE CHANGED ON YOUR NETWORK NOTHING LIKE IT WAS I HAVE BEEN WITH FOX FROM THE VERY BEGINNING IT IS NO LONGER FAIR AND BALANCED.
Patricia Toney says
Megan is tarnishing Fox’s good name…People loved Greta’s honest reporting. Don’t you realize how despised she is…her arrogance supersedes her intelligence!!!!
Stephen Russell says
Then her show loses ratings & FNC looks bad, your call’.
Give her time slot to Judge Jeannie.
Watch Hannity at 7PM PST & Judge J on Sunday.
Presela Anne says
Yes, I think that MILLIONS are changing the channel after Bill O’Reilly. I know I do. Then at 9pm I change the change back, to watch Hannity, or I record Hannity. Megyn Kelly is a COMPLETE TURN-OFF, despite the fact that I think she is used by Fox to try and TURN ON THE MEN. Eye Candy. A MEDIA WHORE. That is all she is, and it shows in her idiot liberal bias, and her self-righteous “feminism,” against Trump. She is pathetic. The fact that apparently millions do have to turn this lame-brain OFF when her show comes on should speak VOLUMES to Fox, and Rupert Murdoch.
Frank says
She has lost me and all my friends as a viewers. I watch Bill then turn the channel. She should go to CNN or MSNBC.
Bill Wilson says
Like the majority Kelly has to go. After she cut off Mike Pence & disrespected Newt, I sent an email directly to FOX suggesting she would fit in better at the Communist News Network. I have just gotten tired of Bill O Reillys show format. Sean, Lou Dobbs, Cavuto,. Varney. Eric & most of the female personalities are great. They ought to put Shanon Bream in M.K.’s spot.

Denise B Wilkes says
Send Megan packing, she’s a weak link in an otherwise strongly conservative team, I watch everyone but her.
susan says
Megan Kelly is exchangeble. Let her go, her ratings have gone south. She’s arrogant and clearly support the Hillbillies aka Hillary and Billy. She started out great, but it’s gone to her head. She’s fickle as a pickle. Bye bye megan!
Steve Jones says
Fox is loaded with smart people I personally would love to see Megan Kelly GONE. She is NOT worth $20 million, she is SHADY, a guest will challenge something she says and she goes to “Bruised Ego Mode” and the fight is on, she is an undercover CLINTON supporter.
I don’t care if Kelly is a full blown Hillary operative but be HONEST and say so.
Steve Jones says
what do you need moderated?
Faye turner says
Best thing about my TV-I can change the channel !!
I stopped watching her months ago
If FOX doesn’t care about viewers
“Their loss not mine”
Larry Blair says
When Megan comes on I change the channel. She has turned into a real bitch. Ever since the hair do change and after the remarks to Trump at the debate, the interview with Huckabee, Gingrich. She is deplorable. Get rid of her. Judge Jeanine would be great in her spot.
