Megyn Kelly tries to boost ratings by incorporating in some O'Reilly Factor

 AoSHQ: MeAgain Kelly!

I do not see how this saves her...

Hey, Megyn got more of of NBC than Lis Weihl's reported giant settlement with O'Reilly

I liked Lis Weihl, but Megyn and O'Reilly sort of deserve each other!

And I am not justifying O'Reilly's alleged behavior.

Killing Fox News

EBL: Killing O'Reilly

James Murdoch wants to follow the CNN model, assuming its current followers will go along for the ride. Roger Ailes recognized the opportunity of being center right (Despite the wailing of the left, Fox News was never hard right). Why you would change a news model that has been so successful is mind boggling, but there is a reason there is the phrase: “Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.” In Japan, the expression goes, “Rice paddies to rice paddies in three generations.” The Scottish say “The father buys, the son builds, the grandchild sells, and his son begs.” In China, “Wealth never survives three generations.”

I am not particularly a Bill O'Reilly fan (I have to agree with Stacy McCain on this). I am not defending the accusations against O'Reilly, the full extent they are true I do not know. O'Reilly was never really a conservative, more of a populist Republican really, but he did remind me of people I knew growing up (he had that going for him). I doubt Bill O'Reilly leaving will in itself fundamentally change Fox. But it is a symptom of things to come and I think we will see a major shift at Fox News well beyond O'Reilly (and it probably won't be good).

So Megyn Kelly missed her opportunity to steer the new course (she should have taken the money and stayed put). Will Tucker Carlson stay to the right or shift with with new management? That remains to be seen and a lot of it will depend on ratings and what the Murdoch wives think of him.

The hypocrisy of the left when it comes to shenanigans on its side really knows no bounds...

Bill's Babes or O'Reilly's Angels? Update: O'Reilly Taking A Vacation...

Daily Mail

So what are we to make of these allegations?  While they certainly could be true, Bill O'Reilly is not running for office (unlike Hillary who bullied women abused by Bill Clinton) and none of this stuff involving O'Reilly (at least what I have heard) is criminal--He reminds me of another Long Island dude. I do not support harassing women at work, but I also know guys like O'Reilly have big targets on them. And it probably doesn't help that Bill O'Reilly has a reputation for being difficult.

There are two sides to every story, even if there is a pattern of behavior (or at least allegations) with the Big Mick. There could be a mixed bag of truth and lies on both sides. If there were settlements and things are resolved in civil court, what business is it of ours? This is between those women and O'Reilly and FoxNews.

Sorry lefty media, but I suspect there is plenty of bad behavior in lefty news circles (and a few real odd balls). I am not a Bill O'Reilly fan, but these sort of allegations are nothing more than allegations. Unless you got more this (or The Factor's ratings implode) this is just an excuse to run a Rule 5 grouping.

In other lawsuits, I bet this getting this $600 is better than $600 for W.J.J. Hoge!

Rule 5 and FMJRA

Megyn Kelly: THIS IS CNN?

DRUDGE REPORT: Will Megyn Do It?  

I suspect Ms. Kelly might find she does not do as quite as well at CNN. While I know Fox News is going to suck anyway now that Roger Ailes is gone, I wouldn't mind seeing my theory tested.  From my perspective it is a win win, since you know who will absolutely hate Kelly being at CNN....and it aint Bill O'Reilly.  

Why can't CNN match Fox's $20,000,000 offer?  Because CNN has other talent that would bolt (or want their salary raised) if Megyn Kelly came in at that price. Yeah, Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly hate each other...but her nemisis Ailes is gone and she has the Murdoch Boys backing her. So I doubt it is going to happen, but you never know.  

Can you put these two divas in the same room?  Cat Fight at CNN?
