So Megyn Kelly is going to lose her job for this? WTF is wrong with this country?

[festeringZit]

[ We've lost all common sense because of the F'ing leftist libtards in this country. Megyn said it's ok at Halloween for a white person to dress as a black
character, and vice-versa - what's the big F'ing deal? ]

NBC News’ highest-paid star Megyn Kelly’s status with the Peacock Network is up in the air and she will miss the remainder of the week after a turbulent 48-hour span that essentially pitted her own network against her.
Multiple news organizations have reported that the future of “Megyn Kelly Today” is in doubt. Kelly -- who reportedly makes $23 million per year -- found herself in hot water with colleagues and NBC executives after making a comment about blackface Halloween costumes on Tuesday.

"Given the circumstances, Megyn Kelly Today will be on tape the rest of the week,” an NBC News spokesperson told Fox News.
Kelly’s comments were reported on both “NBC Nightly News” and “Today,” leading to much speculation that NBC News executives hoped to put a spotlight on the controversial rhetoric as a way to separate with the veteran journalist. NBC colleagues quickly became her biggest critics when Craig Melvin called her comments “racist and ignorant” and Al Roker said she “owes a bigger apology to folks of color around the country.”



Kelly made the controversial remarks Tuesday during a panel discussion with Melissa Rivers, Jacob Soboroff and Jenna Bush Hager when she suggested that some Halloween costumes deemed offensive or racist are simply people trying to celebrate the holiday in character.
“But what is racist?” She asked. “Because you get in trouble if you’re a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on white face for Halloween… back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing like a character”
Kelly offered a heartfelt apology to open her show on Wednesday and received a standing ovation from the in-studio audience. But NBC News chairman Andy Lack condemned Kelly’s comments during a previously scheduled town hall event for his news division staff on Wednesday.

“There is no other way to put this, but I condemn those remarks… There is no place on our air or in this workplace for them,” Lack told his staff, according to The New York Times.
NBC did not immediately respond to a request for additional comment.
Kelly parted ways with Creative Artists Agency on Wednesday. The powerhouse agency also represents NBC News president Noah Oppenheim. Kelly was reportedly close to landing UTA co-president Jay Sures as her new representative, but the high-powered agent backed out after speaking with Oppenheim, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Kelly has reportedly hired top Hollywood talent litigator Bryan Freedman, leading to speculation that she is gearing up for a legal battle with NBC.

CAA and Freedman’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
“Megyn Kelly Today” has been troubled by low ratings since its 2017 debut and there have been reports that NBC was looking to reshuffle its morning show long before the blackface controversy. Kelly’s time at NBC began with a now-defunct Sunday night newsmagazine and her troubled hour of “Today” has featured a series of headline-making moments, such as famously asking Hollywood icon Jane Fonda about her plastic surgery.
During her tenure at NBC, Kelly -- a champion of the #MeToo movement -- has also taken shots at the network for not hiring an independent law firm to conduct an investigation into the culture of the company amid Matt Lauer’s termination for sexual misconduct.

She makes $23 million per year, and she's losing her job over this comment?

Kelly made the controversial remarks Tuesday during a panel discussion with Melissa Rivers, Jacob Soboroff and Jenna Bush Hager when she suggested that some Halloween costumes deemed offensive or racist are simply people trying to celebrate the holiday in character.
“But what is racist?” She asked. “Because you get in trouble if you’re a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on white face for Halloween… back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing like a character”

 

[festeringZit]

So, if I dress up as OJ Simpson, or Michael Jordan, or Obama - that is racist? WTF

 

[skins85]

im confused.....she actually posed a good question. back then when you were in character it wasnt racist. now we are so sensitive everything is racist, even bringing it up is racist now. its not racist to pose the question "what is racist" because truthfully im not even sure anymore.

 

[GoBlue34]

I stopped reading after I read she makes 23 million a year. What the F for?

 

[exploited17]

I think they were specifically referring to black face. But black face in and of itself shouldn't be negative. The idea of what made it negative were the stereotypes that went with it. It wasn't just someone with black face paint. That doesn't apply today when people are just dressing up as someone who is black.

Just a way to beat whitey down if you ask me

 

[michael777]

I don't like her at all,she is a far far far leftist,however,in this instance she said nothing wrong,she should not lose her job,nothing even remotely wrong with her comments

 

[skins85]

and then next week NBC is gonna air "White Chicks" and act like there isnt a double standard?

 

[road2perdition]

I don't like her at all,she is a far far far leftist,however,in this instance she said nothing wrong,she should not lose her job,nothing even remotely wrong with her comments

I'd have to agree. Is the really losing her job for this? Wow, you really can't say anything nowadays. Wtf.

 

[Willie99]

Maybe just an excuse to unload a mistake

 

[niltes]

if her ratings were higher, then this would be much less or even no issue.

 

[WoodStool]

I don't like her at all,she is a far far far leftist,however,in this instance she said nothing wrong,she should not lose her job,nothing even remotely wrong with her comments

She isn't a leftist in the lest. Let alone far far far left.

 

[slapshot]

So it would be a good thing to dress up like Cosby and invite Kelly over as long as I stayed in character

 

[HotRocks]

can you wear this? would this be racist?

[tnvolfan]

Can't stand her....but this is just wrong...no way should anyone lose any job for what she said....this country is upside down thanks to the snowflake
liberals that come unhinged if anyone says anything they don't agree with.....pathetic

 

[WoodStool]

What white person this day in age would put black on their face(blackface doesn't mean wearing a mask) and go out for Halloween? Of course she shouldn't have said it and of course it was stupid. Her ratings are low because she was on Fox News and has said numerous things in the past that the people who watch NBC News regularly don't tend to agree with.....

 

[StevieRay]

Gosh damn world of pussies

 

[WoodStool]

I believe NBC thought they were stealing this big star from Fox and their audience would accept her as their own because she had bashed Trump and was a #metoo survivor....it didn't work

 

[WoodStool]

Gosh damn world of pussies

Then go put black shoe polish on your face...make it much darker under your nose for a mustache....get a question card...and go around asking people if they want to play "the feud". Lets see how it goes.

PC is wrecking the world. She said nothing wrong and I am no fan of hers.
