Yep not doubt it.

Unsure what people are thinking anymore. She's a commentator, she doesn't belong to a "team". If you belong to a "team", you are probably the sell out.

Her main problem is that she has become a "celebrity." She is a narcissist to rival Obama. She tries to make it about her instead of about the news. I had heard of her but didn't know who she was until the Trump dispute.

Honestly this doesn't change a thing. I didn't watch her on Fox and I will not watch her on NBC.

I actually like Megyn.

She comes across as fiscally conservative, socially liberal, and that's pretty much where I am. She railed against some of the same excesses at Fox that I find unattractive.

It will be interesting to see how things develop at NBC. If she can become sort of a John Stossel-light figure over there, I would be very happy. But I doubt that's what they have in mind for her. They're not really very good at contrarian voices.

Megyn Kelly a racist? Bizarre accusation, but whatever. Of course.

Megyn Kelly is indeed a liberal, and it became obvious this election cycle. It wasn't just a feud with Trump, it was a constant, thinly-veiled bias and it destroyed her credibility. She will be a welcome addition at the fake news kings, NBC. Perhaps she can co-anchor with Brian Williams.

I thought she was fair, but I rarely watch the news these days.

Other than now occasionally watching Tucker Carlson for the sheer entertainment value I don't watch Fox for the talking heads. I'll tune in if there is breaking news but have no desire to watch someone else to tell me how to think.

This year, the longtime top cable-news channel claimed the crown of the number one channel in all of cable, beating the previous champ ESPN and trailing only the big four broadcast networks—NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX—in primetime.

Yes I agree with that.

Yup. Means she's probably doing something just about right.

My question is- who's gonna watch her? NBC "fans"? Are people going to follow her over from a 9 pm poli-chat show on FOX to a daytime whatever that will be show? Trying to tap into the knuckle-dragging morons that watch crap like The View?!?

I don't get it, but only for NBC. Good for her, I'm sure she's cashing in in a MAJOR way, I just don't see the fit. *shrugs*

I never watched her show.

I don't really care who pays her to be a hack.

Uhhh, if you never watched, how you know she's a hack?

I actually like/liked her show, though on occasion would have differences, same as any other show out there other than maybe Jerry Springer, he was always GOLD.

She's smart, quick, qualified, and has a good sense of humor and let's face it, very pretty and easy on the eyes. What's not to like?

I won't follow over to nbc, mainly cause I don't know what channel that is. But I'll wish her well and a fair and adieu, may never lay eyes on her again.

Good hire for NBC. Like her or not?...She seems to be a professional. My guess is she softens her image a bit now though.

The timing on this seems bizarre. It would have made more sense a year ago than now. I also wonder if her primetime show on Sundays might only be a seasonal thing - surely they're not going to mess with their Sunday night football ratings success?

In general, I sense a Katie Couric-type disaster coming up for NBC similar to what happened when she left NBC for CBS (or Connie Chung if you want go way back before that). But I do think she might have some success with a daytime show.

There are many women like Megyn who just do not like guys like Trump, super wealthy with another E. European model wife that is way younger.

I'm guessing her contract wasn't up until now.

On looks alone, there are probably a dozen other "Foxes" who I'd rather watch.

Kelly turned down $25 million from Fox to stay. Holy crap.
