NBC/MSNBC has a short memory. They forgot Megyn Kelly already and how that worked out

The network is so desperate to steal any single viewer from Fox News that they will hire any reprehensible conservative they think can bring them to them.
And then these people start spouting their crazy shit on their airways and the world freaks out and they have to fire them.
They need to hire someone to sit in the board meetings when they're talking about hiring people like this and go "yeah remember Megyn Kelly this crap doesn't work out guys"
I give Ronna 3 Scaramucci's

You'd think someone at NBC and MSNBC would have considered that before offering her a job. Meanwhile, she also does NOT have a good on-air personality.

If you listen to Keith O’s podcast, you realize how truly stupid some of these executives are.

Now if it's Trump who is elected all bets are off, but that ain't going to happen.

NBC is making another big mistake



https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna930591

Megyn Kelly and NBC News have agreed to terms under which the high-profile TV host will leave the company with the remainder of her $69 million contract, according to a source familiar with the agreement.

The news comes after months of negotiations over parts of Kelly’s long-term contract following her removal in October from the 9 a.m. ET hour of NBC’s “Today.” Her morning show, “Megyn Kelly Today,” was cancelled after the anchor made comments about wearing blackface as part of a Halloween costume debate.

“The parties have resolved their differences, and Megyn Kelly is no longer an employee of NBC,” NBC said in a statement.

Kelly apologized for the comments directly after the show aired and then on air the next day but was criticized by several NBC News personalities, including Al Roker, who were upset with her over the statements.

Kelly’s move to NBC News from Fox News in 2017 was closely followed within the media industry, in part because she became one of the most highly paid people in the news business with an estimated salary of $69 million over three years.

Kelly will receive a payout of up to $30 million, according to a source familiar with the deal who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
