WILL SHE JUMP? CNN Working to Lure Megyn Kelly Away from Fox News
This Drudge Report exclusive is quite interesting. We believe Megyn Kelly is fundamentally a liberal and probably would be a better fit for CNN.
Megyn certainly is not liked by viewers of Fox News who support Donald Trump so she might get a friendlier audience at CNN. On the flip side, without the O’Reilly Factor lead-in we don’t think she would do well in terms of ratings.
From DrudgeReport
CNN President Jeff Zucker is actively pursuing FOX star Megyn Kelly to anchor 8 or 9 PM on his network, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. And Kelly might just say, YES!
“He is moving the Himalayan mountains to get her,” a top insider explains. “But they are tripped up on money. He simply can’t pay her the $20 million a year FOX has on the table.”
Kelly’s contract is up in July 2017.
For Kelly, a move to Columbus Circle would represent a fresh break from a turbulent 18 months at FOXNEWS. And the chance to go directly against arch-nemesis Bill O’Reilly will be hard to resist.
Meanwhile, the highs and lows of the Trump and Roger Ailes dramas have taken a toll.
The anchor is “despised” by fellow on-air talent. And FOX insiders describe how it’s gotten only worse since the release of her book, which is expected to end the holidays under 500,000 total copies sold. [Megyn refused to promote her book on both O’Reilly and Hannity, foreshadowing a move.]
Zucker at CNN would compensate her salary with heavy promotion and synergy across all TIME WARNER outlets.
A top source close to the action describes how Megyn would be an immediate international star at CNN. “It’s the opportunity of lifetime.”
“She could even star in a movie at WARNER BROS.”

sooooo, just PLEASE GO, Kelly!!! You have proven that you are a hard line left winger with no great journalism involved at all ~ strictly your own bias, opinions, hatred of opposing thoughts, etc….ad nauseum – just what CNN looks for…can’t even spell ‘fair and balanced’ let alone enact it…I feel the sorriest for your husband who probably nods and says ‘yes, dear’ so much his face cracks and any children you are raising to be carbon copies of you because who else would they ever want to emulate????
Megan has really changed a lot from when she first started with Fox news when co-hosted a slot with Bill Hemmer. When she use to talk about her Nannah. Now she looks and acts like Beyonce, Cyrus, Spear, and Lohan. I wonder if she still values her Nannah opinion as she said she did.
If she moves to CNN she would be wise to deep six the bubbly, giggly, valley girl persona she has nurtured at FOX. Also, it would be a wise move to stay away from interviews discussing her sex life and the size of her husbands ding dong like the one she gave Howard Stern in 2010. That has only worked to breed contempt with her viewers and her colleagues…not respect.
