Dear Commons Community,

The cable news crowd has been waiting for almost a year as to whether Megyn Kelly, Fox News’ evening TV personality, would be switching to another network.  Yesterday, it was announced that she indeed will be leaving for a multi-faceted position at NBC including her own afternoon talk-show program.

Kelly has been one of the few political moderates on Fox News sandwiched nightly between Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity.   Kelly’s national profile skyrocketed during the 2016 election after Donald Trump leveled personal attacks against her and feuded with the network over her coverage. At the first Republican debate, in August 2015, she drew Trump’s wrath for asking about his history of misogynistic and sexist remarks. The following day, Trump suggested Kelly was menstruating at the time.   In July, Kelly was again in the spotlight after telling investigators that she, too, was sexually harassed by former Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes. He resigned in disgrace soon after.  

We wish her well!

Tony
