#1 Cute but dumb. And, not so cute, anymore.

#2 Lavin appears to be correct about the changes at Fox. I share his disdain for both Kelly and Smith.

#3 O'Reilley is going soft on Clinton now too.

#4 Murdoch's two sons are responsible for the shift as they now begin to muscle in on changing what Ailes did to make Fox an icon of the right (Link).

#5 Fox seems to be going for "fairly unbalanced." Kelly is becoming MSNBC or CNN material. Fox is still better than the others. Way overpaid.

#6 Rumors abound that elements (the Trumps for one, a combination involving talk radio leaders and plutocrats) smell blood in the water, and that Fox can be had by a new truly conservative TV venue. At play is Judge Jenine, who the rebels would like to entice from Fox but who the Murdochs see as a viable candidate to replace Kelly.

#7 ...had a heated exchange over accusations Trump was a "sexual predator."

I must admit, on a couple of levels, I feel a bit queasy sticking up for a news bimbo. But contrary to Breitbart's (or Gingrich) assertion Kelly didn't accuse Trump of anything. She asked a question by beginning "If Trump...". First, regardless of the merit of the allegations, it is a legitimate line of questioning. Second, if, big if, said allegations proved true the label of "predator" would be legally accurate. Finally , I congratulate Mark Lavine on his continued career as an obnoxious gadfly.

#8 Used to watch her, but she's become all about Megyn, or as Ace at AOSHQ calls her Me-Again

#11 Levin gets all indignant about this as well he should. He gets angry as he always does. I take issue with only one of his conclusions and that is when he says we learn nothing from the interview with Gingrich. I think we learn quite a lot about Megyn Kelly and that is exactly as Levin himself says: She is not a journalist.

#12 What is AOSHQ?

#13 Depot Guy - must disagree. She pulled the old "So, when did you stop beating your wife ploy". Old and tired. Gingrich was right to push back as hard as he did. She's a hack.

#15 She pulled the old "So, when did you stop beating your wife ploy."

Mmmm...not exactly. Her question was more of the rhetorical type. In the context of whether her reporting was newsworthy, she asked "If Trump was..." and then answered "it would be a big story."
I've never watched her enough to say whether she's a "hack" or not. But outfits, such as Breitbart, that deceptively portray her comment as an "accusation " are certainly worthy of that moniker. And that apparently now includes Lavine.

#16 Watch the exchange.
She called and turned and showed problematic and woman cards.

Presstitutes. That was the word I was looking for.

#18 She was pulling the "Hey, I'm just asking questions" routine.

As in "Is Megyn Kelly transitioning to male? Hey, I'm just asking questions."

#19 More attention to this than to Hillary - you Trump people are stupid. Focus your attention on the real enemy.
