Also not much of a fan of her. But as you indicate this crap is out of control.
Beginning to wonder where the hell it's going to stop and afraid of the answer.

I do know that I've adopted a much less tolerant attitude towards this type of crap in my personal life. Someone comes with the PC Bullshit, it's going to get called out strongly as my "Give a Shit" meter is gone.

It was actually difficult to find the video of her comments - all of the google search results are of videos of the outrage resulting from her comments.

I finally did find a video, and after watching, I continued searching, as I thought there must be more to it.

It was not easy to find VT of her actual words, I only found it embedded within yet another video of the mob of tv types losing their minds over Megyn Kelly’s simple Holloween comment. You cannot count the many posted videos of her critics (or the references to FOX News).

Another win for the PC crowd.

She knew she said nothing wrong yet they managed to get her to cry and apologize the next morning.

This will only serve to embolden the fuckers.

She made a deal with the devil. She can't say she didn't know what she was signing up for. She did nothing wrong, but she should have known that her politically correct progressive masters would be outraged.

So she's out of a job but with a $70MM payday. She's done in the media because she now has the reputation of being a racist. Hope the money was worth it.

And I wonder what lesson NBC will draw from this? Will they learn that political correctness can be a expensive luxury? Or will they just conclude that non-break contracts are a bad thing?

Yep. They wanted to unload her and her HUGE contract... This will be used in an attempt to not pay out her $69M contract in full...

Now viewers get to witness the greatest example of white privilege on television. She defended blackface. I mean how is this acceptable in any way? She needs to go.'

That same executive was also critical of the decision to hire Kelly, questioning why Andy Lack and Noah Oppenheim had not already gotten rid of the $69 million woman.

'Andy and Noah need to own this mistake and fire her. There shouldn't be a place for someone with these views to remain on NBC News,' said that executive.

The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Yes, that is it.

And we're OK with this, because we don't like the woman.

Yet I bet everyone of the whiny little bitches that got upset about this have the DVD movie White Chicks in their collection.

You know, where the two black guys lighten up their skin and run around acting like stereotypical white women.

That's ok right? Funny even.

"You do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface for Halloween or a black person who puts on white face for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was OK as long as you were dressed up as like a character," Kelly said on Tuesday.

I couldn't find it, but in the snippets I found I didn't hear anything wrong. I'm 39, I wore blackface for a Halloween once. Another year I wore a dress, was that also insensitive to women or trans?

Remember this movie? White guy gets into Harvard, but tuition is too expensive. So he pretends to be black for a scholarship.

The clip at the bottom of page 1 of this thread includes her original comments.

While chilling it is expected anymore, I am not sure why she thought she was going "sorry" her way out of it, her show has not been received well and then this....I am sure the network know what they were going to do before her show was over. They let her apologize then canned her....I would like to see one person come out AND DOUBLE DOWN just to see everyone's head explode.
