Congrats to Megyn Kelly on her transition from most rational person at Fox News to most bat**** crazy person at NBC
Jesus Christ, that Jesse Watters segment that's trending...
So, Megyn Kelly is leaving Fox News. And getting a job with NBC News.
That, uh, is a bit of a change in direction.
I find Megyn Kelly to be comically overrated. I am, however, curious to see how she adapts to being at an actual news channel. Is she still going to go on rants about Santa Claus being white?
Megyn Kelly is an independent. Her interview at THR post-Trump win was insightful and she is a smart cookie. A lot of people look at the "Santa Claus is white" and the Duggar interview fiasco... that aside, she is a smart reporter.
I think we'll see more of the probing and feistier side of Kelly at NBC because she is good at that sort of thing. But then I wouldn't be surprised if she is seen as the craziest reporter there either.
She isn't "independent", she is a conservative, however she is indeed a smart reporter and it will be interesting to see how she goes at NBC which has Liberals like Chris Matthews and Rachael Maddow.
and Hannity is now accusing Joe Scarborough of trying to get hired at Fox
that he tried to get an interview without telling MSNBC
I think its long past time that Scarborough get the boot
Public perceptions about crime in the U.S. often dont align with the data.
Opinion surveys regularly find that Americans believe crime is up, even when the data show it is down. In 21 Gallup surveys conducted since 1989, a majority of Americans said there was more crime in the U.S. compared with the year before, despite the generally downward trend in both violent and property crime rates during much of that period. In a Pew Research Center survey in late 2016, 57% of registered voters said crime had gotten worse since 2008, even though BJS and FBI data show that violent and property crime rates declined by double-digit percentages during that span.
That's the sort of thing Hannity would have ridden on a high horse about and called another person a treasonous un-American partisan Liberal "yada yada yada" over.
It's really been something to watch how the people at Fox News, save for Shepard and Chris Wallace, have bent over backwards to defend Trump on everything. The gymnastics they're doing is sometimes amazing to defend him. Seeing people, for example, who claimed that Obama was doing NOTHING about illegal immigration. When they were given facts about the deportation, there was a reason why Obama was called the Deporter in Chief, they called it lies. People on Fox News said over and over, Obama was doing nothing whatsoever. But, now when the videos and criticism about Trump and ICE are surfacing...now those same people, who literally a week ago were saying Obama did nothing, are now using the facts they called lies. Now, when it's convenient, they use the numbers they shut down.
Then there's stuff about how buddy buddy Trump was with Fox and Friends, and how he's best friends with Bill O'Reily and Sean Hannity. Most of the people at Fox News have no credibility because of their personal relationship with Trump and people at the White House, while going on and on about lack of trust in the media (despite being part of the media).
This kind of stuff would be criticized as unrealistic or hard to believe if it were written in a novel or movie or something.
