Megyn Kelly Today Needs You To Forget How She Built Her Career

Megyn Kelly — the former Fox News host who NBC hoped would become the latest star in the network’s firmament — opened the premiere episode of her new morning talk show, Megyn Kelly Today, by laughing at the idea that she might devote time to her sometimes foe President Donald Trump’s latest remarks. “The truth is, I am kind of done with politics for now,” she told a live studio audience with a smile.

During the hour that followed, Kelly offered up a panoply of typical morning show fare — a synergistic but wooden sit-down with the stars of Will and Grace, returning to the network’s airwaves this week; a soft-focus piece on a Chicago nun who is “cleaning up her streets”; and Oprah-esque “surprises” for members of the audience, for her guests, and for Kelly herself. Along the way, Kelly sought to wash away her past work and rebrand herself as a joyful and upbeat bringer of hope.

Kelly devoted much of her opening monologue to crafting an origin story, trying to connect with her morning show audience by describing her upbringing, her parents, the death of her father, and her career. “I went on to become a TV anchor. And that was good, until it wasn’t,” she explained. “So much division. So much outrage. And I wasn’t happy,” she said of the 2016 presidential election. “For years I had dreamed of hosting a more uplifting show,” Kelly added. She said the dream was answered by NBC, which allowed her to host the new morning show, “whose mission would be to deliver hope and optimism and inspiration and empowerment.”

Nice "try" Kelly, but your still a racist and your creatures hiding behind your past closed doors are still out there for everyone to read and see

4. By virtue of her association with Faux,

She has automatically and irrevocably destroyed any journalistic credibility she may have had to begin with with. The lies she pushed, either outright or by her silence put her integrity out of its misery.

I'll never trust a word out of her vile mouth, or forget where she came from.

I hope that is a huge problem for her, possibly as a warning for others considering the path of lies and greed.

5. Yes, laugh about how you helped install a nuclear war mongering dictator in the White House.

Cause we're not.

6. She's a waste of skin and a poor hire by NBC.

8. Sad to hear she didn't lose the time slot. Glad to hear her Sunday show was pulled for

low ratings.

9. An apology will never, ever be enough

for anything anyone on Faux news has ever done. Years and years of atonement might - but only if the country survives 45.

10. Reminds me of Alfalfa (Carl Switzer) and Superman (George Reeves).

Those guys were plagued with their successful roles for all their lives, and could never be released from them. A fun "What Happened to..." series by Jerry Skinner documents many of our past heroes and villains, too. For example, on Alfalfa see:

Megyn Kelly will never escape the stain of pumping right-wing bullshit for years (12?) at Fox. For many, she will always be equated with the likes of Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes, O'Reilly, and Hannity.

She also allowed herself to be a part of Murdoch's and Ailes' sexist policies of having lightly dressed female hosts and guests as eye-candy to attract the boys and old men.

I refuse to believe she has changed her stripes. Once Fox trash, always Fox trash.
