Jobs,not mobs!!
lol
I am not surprised that the social justice warriors helped get her crucified & that NBC complied as an excuse to get rid of her. Our country is so soft. She gets fired for this when she has done a lot worse in the past. We have The Simpsons getting rid of longtime character Apu due to complaints. Hell I just saw a story on the local NYC news talking about some petition to get Halloween moved from the 31st to the last Saturday of the month to avoid having to go trick or treating on a school night. Give me a fucking break!
So I went through most of the posts in this thread and ended up just scratching my head. So Megyn Kelly is the new martyr huh? That's pretty funny.
Fuck Megyn Kelly. And in case you missed that, let me say it again for added emphasis....Fuck Megyn Kelly. This thing is a win-win as far as I'm concerned. I really have to wonder if some of you people have short term memory loss. If most of you are in agreement that Clinton probably would have beaten all the other Republican candidates, why the hell do you care that this woman is about to get fired?! Megyn Kelly used one of the Republican debates to singlehandedly try to smear Trump. I remember watching that debate and thinking "what the hell is this bitch trying to do" and on of all networks to be done, it was on Fox (so it was like getting shot with friendly fire). She was totally trying to make national headlines for herself. But somehow I should care about some wrongful termination? Really, why? I don't care how she gets fired, I'm just glad she's getting fired and should be off all the major networks now. The only thing that is going to happen to her is she's going to get a pot of gold from NBC as they settle out of court and give her some hush money so she can go her merry way. She'll end up on some secondary channel on cable (a good place for her) and out of the spotlight. And everything is good. And as far as the NBC thing goes, should anyone be surprised that they're a bunch of hypocrites with their standards? It merely solidifies that they're scum (nothing wrong with that either).

was she ever a republican? I think she's more part of our media problem then a republican

Why NBC dumped Megyn Kelly
'Today' hour ended after 'blackface' apology.
Megyn Kelly is close to finalizing a $30 million exit from NBC, sources confirm to Page Six.
The embattled anchor, who celebrated her 48th birthday Sunday, was dumped from her 9 a.m. slot on “Today” last month after questioning why it was racist to wear blackface for Halloween.

And as she prepares to sign her exit deal, the mom of three is already planning her return to TV, Page Six has learned.
Sources say NBC owner Comcast will pay Kelly around $30 million. She signed a $69 million deal when she joined the network after leaving Fox News in 2017.

A source familiar with the negotiations said nothing will happen until next week at the earliest, admitting: “It’s taking slightly longer than expected, the paperwork is going back and forth.”
Another confirmed: “Everyone wants this to be over — both Megyn and NBC — and Comcast has the money to pay off Megyn. We thought this would be a done deal a few weeks ago.”
One senior TV source added: “NBC decided rather than fight and face a lawsuit from her, they — and more importantly, Comcast with all its money — decided to draw a line under the entire debacle and pay Megyn the full amount owed in her contract to go away.
“But this is far from the end of her TV career — in the Trump era, there are few broadcasters like her. Megyn would likely take a short break from TV and return to cable news ahead of the 2020 election.”
When Kelly — whose 9 a.m. hour had failed to win over viewers — made her comments, the backlash was immediate, with “Today” mainstay Al Roker lashing out at his colleague on air.
He said: “The fact is, while she apologized to the staff, she owes a bigger apology to folks of color around the country.
“This is a history going back to the 1830s — minstrel shows to demean and denigrate a race wasn’t right. I’m old enough to know, have lived through ‘Amos ‘n’ Andy,’ where you had white people in blackface playing two black characters, just magnifying the worst stereotypes about black people — and that’s what the problem is. That’s what the issue is.”
Reps for Kelly and NBC declined to comment.

She didn't do blackface. Here's her quote:
"But what is racist? You truly do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on white face for Halloween," she asked her panel. "That was OK when I was a kid, as long as you were dressing like a character."
