Fox News In Turmoil As Megyn Kelly May Bolt From Crumbling Network
Besides a ratings hit, losing Kelly would be devastating for the optics of Fox News. “On top of all their troubles they have, if they lose their ‘It girl,’ they’ll be in even worse shape,” one rival television executive told me. The Ailes scandal has given her additional leverage. “If I’m her agent, I’m thinking ka-ching,” the executive added. Kelly, who according to the L.A. Times makes around $10 million a year at Fox News, could possibly command double that when her current contract expires in July 2017, a figure more in line with what her in-house rival and nemesis Bill O’Reilly reportedly earns.
I really don't know why she would want to stay at FOX News? They steam rolled her over the Trump effect. In fact you can get on FOX News Facebook page, and there are Trumpet's all over the place criticizing her for not being soooooo nice to Trump.
I imagine Kelly will end up on CNN--that's where most of FOX News viewership have gone. I think she even received some death threats from the Trumpet's.
Why would she want an audience that she has to spoon feed just the right amount of information, and nothing bad, only promote what they want to hear. Personally I think she has more integrity than that.
Here is a great article on this:
We'll see if FOX News even survives after the election night Tsunami. After all they are responsible for giving Donald Trump an unprecedented 2 billion in free news coverage during the primaries.
"Fox News, meanwhile, has given Donald Trump the level of positive coverage that money could never (legally) buy, and as a result, they’ve dropped in the ratings. It’s no coincidence that as Trump enablers and outright supporters have focused more and more on Trump, their level of appeal has dropped. They don’t have the diversity of panelists CNN has managed to grab, and they don’t have hosts who allow both sides to speak freely.
What’s more, the rising star of Fox News, Megyn Kelly, was fast becoming the most popular personality, and then Donald Trump not only insulted her, but the network
on multiple occasions met with Trump to try to work things out and get him to come back on the air.
If Kelly decided not to remain with Fox News when her contract is up, Fox News would fall even further – and they would deserve it.
The quality of coverage is key, and Fox News is not providing it. What they have failed to realize is that Donald Trump is but a blip in the ratings.
What people will perceive of you when he has come and gone is what will decide your fate. And, if the numbers continue to fall, you can pretty much guess what life is going to be like for them after Trump has gone."
But WHY is CNN crushing Fox News in the ratings? | RedState
