I would speculate that Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough, Chris Matthews, and the other Democrat stars at NBC and MSNBC flexed their muscles to prevent Megyn Kelly from invading their anti-Trump turf.
I was not a fan of Magyn Kelly when she had a show on the Fox News Channel. I tuned her out early on when she blasted conservatives for the contention that child rearing is best done with a mom AND a dad. Then it came out that she claimed that her ex-husband abused her, however, she later admitted it was a lie. Whose favor was she trying to curry with a lie like that?
Nevertheless, she must have had a following at Fox, other than the boss man, Roger Ailes.
Then when she ripped into Donald Trump during a debate, her path was set. I predicted on these pages that she would end up on MSNBC. That was a near miss. She signed on with NBC and is now hosting a morning show which is getting terrible reviews.
She made a bad career move. And there are probably some FNC fans who are chortling at her misfortune.
But NBC has to shoulder the blame here, because her skill is in skewering conservatives with Democrat dogma thrown in for good measure, not in entertaining viewers of morning TV shows. NBC will eventually find a place for her, but she would need to take a few giant steps away from progressivism before conservatives would be tempted to watch a show of hers again.
