  • It was announced earlier this week that Megyn Kelly, after 12 years with Fox News, will

  • be leaving the network to move NBC.

  • A lot of people very unhappy about this, and you really should be.

  • NBC and MSNBC for years have been claiming to be the progressive, Liberal, Democratic

  • alternative to Fox news, and here we now have the NBC network hiring Megyn Kelly to host

  • a political show and an in depth Sunday interview show for the network, which means they're

  • moving once again further to the right.

  • Part of this could easily be due to the fact that NBC and MSNBC are losing ratings like

  • crazy.

  • They were all in for Hillary Clinton, weren't able to push her over the edge, so now they're

  • going further to the right so that they can suck up a little bit of that Donald Trump

  • audience, even though Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump don't exactly get along.

  • They still want to bring in those conservatives because those are eyeballs and eyeballs equal

  • advertising dollars.

  • That's what this has to do with, but in reality, aside from advertising, aside from getting

  • the higher ratings, what NBC is doing right here is normalizing the alt right and Donald

  • Trump.

  • Megyn Kelly is racist.

  • There is no other way to say that.

  • This is a woman who just three and a half years ago asserted with all sorts of confidence

  • that both Jesus and Santa Claus are white.

  • Don't know why she had to throw Santa Claus in there.

  • It's a mythical figure, so it could be anything that anybody wants it to be, and Jesus was

  • actually Middle Eastern, not white.

  • That aside, she has also tossed a little bit of blame out for victims of assault, women

  • who get assaulted either sexually or domestically, saying, "Well, you gotta, you gotta avoid

  • those situations.

  • You gotta not put yourself in those kind of situations."

  • That's what NBC gets with Megyn Kelly, and this is coming from a woman who claims that

  • she was sexually harassed by Roger Ailes during her time at Fox.

  • She is one of the most hypocritical people on the network, and furthermore, I know some

  • progressives seem to like Megyn Kelly every now and then, but she is a true to heart,

  • honest to goodness conservative in every way imaginable.

  • Just because she's not an idiot doesn't mean that she is not a hard-core Republican that

  • is constantly going to fight for everything the Republican party wants to do, which is

  • basically screw over average citizens and consumers and anyone in the 99%, and that's

  • what NBC gets when they hire Megyn Kelly.

  • Essentially, she's just leaving one sinking ship at Fox News for the sinking ship that

  • is NBC, a network that has already hired Greta Van Susteren and who had Gretchen Carlson

  • fill in on an episode of Today Show earlier this week.

  • NBC is moving further to the right every day literally.

  • The best thing that people can do is turn it off.

  • After all, this is the network that put Donald Trump in the national spotlight by letting

  • him host The Apprentice, so everyone watching, please NBC is done.

  • No more NBC.

  • No more MSNBC.

  • Turn it off.

  • Go find something else.

  • They're moving further to the right, and they're leaving the rest of us behind.
