It’s All About Me: The Cult of Megyn Kelly

You’d have to be deaf, blind or both, but a story of such significance bears repeating – so here it is:

BREAKING NEWS –
Megyn Kelly is leaving Fox News Channel.

And everyone over at Fox said-- amen. In fact, it’s very likely that many of the Fox viewers vociferously echo that amen chorus. All this breathless hyping of a news anchor moving to another network feels a little like a mother bragging that her kid just got into Harvard.

As of late, Ms. Kelly has not been reporting the news as much as she has made herself the news. And therein lies the dilemma: From a cover spread in the Hollywood Reporter to a book she’s written (about herself) there’s practically nowhere you can run and hide and not find Megyn lurking around the corner. Bookstores. Check. Your 55-inch flat screen. Check. Your computer. Check. Your smartphone. Check. Check. Check.

But before we go too far down this road and you think this is a hit piece on Ms. Kelly, it is not.

Sadly, Ms. Kelly’s stardom as a “journalist” is emblematic of a serious problem within the broadcast journalism industry that has metastasized into an Ebola-style plague across the airwaves. And she is Exhibit A of this bilious condition.

She has gotten very strange. Nervous acting, sounding and looking best describes it. Her mannerisms and inappropriate giggles suggested she was very nervous anymore.

No big loss here for Fox.

I totally agree. Her ego has gotten as big as that stupid Geraldo, which is another one I can't stand. When he is on I also change channel.

Megyn has one foot in journalism and one foot out.There is a problem.

She exposed herself as an establishment "journalist" if we even have journalists anymore...She wants to keep the status quo power structure in Washington.

I always loved her and enjoyed that she was beautiful and smart...until she got on her high house about how difficult it has been to be a beautiful journalist, having to tolerate inappropriate men...then she wears off the shoulder outfits to report the news?
She WANTS to be the hot newswoman which is fine....but don't complain when

Ditto....may I add in that fat headed Karl Rove and more.
Juan Williams was not bad several years ago when sitting in for O'Reilly, but he has gone so far left I can't deal with him. Like the others, can't carry on a conversation without black this white that.

Does Fox New headquarters need to widen the door so Megyn's head will fit thru?

She considers herself a thoroughbred. Thoroughbreds can often be flighty and not to be trusted.

Somebody must like her she makes 15 million a year.

When her new gig flops, she'll be asking the Kardashians for career advice. "Do I have to make a sex tape, or can I just hang with you all?"

Never saw what was so great about her. Her fast talking was hard to follow. Won't miss her at all.
