OT: Megyn Kelly fired at NBC
I've only seen this from one source so not sure if its 100% verified. The blackface comments were idiotic. NBC will be forced to pay her all of the $69 million contract. How can that be? What a stupid deal NBC made. What a joke. I mean, she's getting the last laugh here. Why does she give a shit about being canned when she'll get every penny of her contact guaranteed? Her ratings were shit before this anyway.
These TV networks are rolling in $$$$
I couldn't have picked her out of a lineup. I don't watch news. I recognize the name. I remember her being talked about before this but really don't remember why. I don't know what the blackface statement was. I couldn't imagine though if you are in her position and said anything about blackface unless in historical reference it would be good. I'm just so anti-news/networks I don't know why she's important. I really am that oblivious to this story.
That's alot of cash that much I do get. Getting fired wouldn't be so bad if.

Over in Sensitive topics in one, two...
Edit: She's hot and that's all that matters lol!

In the grand scheme, she is not important at all. And as you know I'm sure, local news is even worse than national news. Complete garbage.

That's funny, there's a stand up special with Joe Rogan (who is really funny, believe it or not) and he talks about the time he was interviewed by her and he said in real life she's stunning.
@"StickyBun" said:Actually the only news I do watch is local. I watch a local 24hr network. It's done on a loop. Traffic, weather, sports, local news and nation. Nothing is drawn out and over analysed. Got to move quickly to keep the loop moving. 30 minutes if you jump in at the right time is all you need. I catch it in the morning.@"suncoastvike" said: I couldn't have picked her out of a lineup. I don't watch news. I recognize the name.

Getting fired for the blackface comments was overkill. Should have been canned long ago for being a crappy interviewer. Only times I've seen her was when they let her butcher a couple of Dateline episodes. NBC hired the bleach bimbo from Fox trying to swipe some of their conservative/horny male audience. Instead the Fox viewers considered her a traitor and NBC'ers thought her a plant... with the IQ of one.
Good riddance, and whoever agreed to that deal for NBC should be packing up their desk too.
You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.
69 million dollars for these talking heads is ridiculous. no wonder the networks are failing NBC news is a joke. Slthough thisnis an overreaction tonjer tame comments. Tired of one comment being the end of a career. But she will be fine.

@"suncoastvike" said:I knew who she was because she is such a celebrity. I had completely forgotten that she was the subject of that comment from Trump. Two years later, that comment seems almost quaint in comparison to what he has said since.@"Maple Surple" said: You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. That was her? Now I know why I remember the name.She always seems to be in the middle of some drama. Gotta believe a lot of that is self-created. She reminds me of those girls whose looks are almost enough to make you think you can put up with the drama, but in the end, it’s just not worth it.

Yep, I heard it was basically a $100 million mistake because they built her a completely new $10 million studio as well and she got her own entire production crew, whereas previously her time slot was shot at the same studio as the Today Show and used the same talent and production crew and was already very profitable.
So glad to see that the dipshits making these types of decisions are also making millions annually. It really makes you wonder sometimes how some of these jackasses get to be so high up in the corporate world.

"You do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface for Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was OK just as long as you were dressing as a character."TheseTV networks are rolling in $$$$
That is what she said and is being fired for. My guess is she is etting paid so she doesnt sue NBC for more. This is purely a result of our poilitical correctness society. If this is what she is being fired for then Robert Downey Jr. should never work in another movie because he painted his face blackand palyed a black guy in Tropical Thunder and the Wayon Brothers should never work again because they painted their faces white and played white chicks. I really don’t think they should never work again, but the hypocricy is obvious. There is more to this story than a comment saying she beleived its ok as long as its just in costume. Her ratings may be low or NBC bosses don’t like her or something else is contributing to her firing. That is why she is getting paid just to go away. If she is truley being fired for that comment, then God help us as a society.
Jimmy Kimmel did actual blackface and mocked Karl Malone. He still works. Kelly is getting railroaded because she was a poor fit on NBC and she called them out for not running the Weinstein story. She didn't mock anyone or say that mocking anyone is ok. She stated the non-PC stance that dressing up for halloween is ok.
yeah looks like NBC is trying to get put of a mistake.
@"suncoastvike" said:Kind of. She didnt say it. That was Trump. She was the target of said words.@"Maple Surple" said: You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever. That was her? Now I know why I remember the name.
Do yall think that NBC might try and use this to get out of her contract? And maybe thay was the reason?
Im having a hard time seeing how what she said could be offensive? Is it not true that people used to paint their face for haloween?
This whole world has gone bannanas.
I guess any one that dresses as the walking dead should be fired for mocking your average state worker

Trump was referring to Mika Brzezinski After a visit to his Mara Lago residence after she had some rather obvious recent facial plastic surgery. Of course this set off a long running feud with yet another overpaid, under-informed talking head who just happens to have some lineage.@"suncoastvike" said:Kind of. She didnt say it. That was Trump.
