Megyn Kelly Reportedly OUT At NBC After 'Blackface' Comments Login/Join

The legal talking heads seem to think that NBC is going to have to pay her the full contract. I'm not in that business so I don't know.
Somehow I think she'll get by, even if she never appears on TV again.
Rappers have a divine right to say just about anything but if you have the wrong DNA, your career could be over for nothing and you'll be publicly shamed.

According to this link, an NBC "source" says she will get the entire 69 million because of a non-break contract. Also talk of her returning to FoxNews, but a Fox spokesman stated "we are extremely happy with our entire line-up" Big Grin

I've watched the clip once. That's it. Not a damn thing wrong with what she said. The GDC's are making a mountain out of nothing just to pile on because of several reasons. Who said it, to make themselves look noble, etc,etc. Total bullshit. Al Roker and everybody else at the Today show can kiss the head of my dick. Roll Eyes

They were looking for any reason to justify killing the show. Not that they couldn’t use the fact that the ratings were in the gutter.

Sorry Megyn. The Leftist Gods will not be satisfied with an apology.
A blood sacrifice is the only thing that will quiet the volcano, at least for a while.

This is our world now. Dare to mention anything regarding the black population and expect to be tossed into the volcano.
Don’t even bother denying you’re a racist. They KNOW you are.
You’re white, you’re rich. Therefore, you’re the enemy.

Her biggest mistake was groveling for forgiveness.

Well, that depends. How many times have I seen this hypothetical person join in ganging up on and bullying someone else? How many times have I seen that hypothetical person get paid to join in ganging up on and bullying someone else? And how many times have I heard that hypothetical someone claim that being a part of a group of people that ganged up on and bullied someone else, whether there was in fact any justification for doing so or not, is "just doing" that hypothetical person's "job"?

Context does matter sometimes.


Okay, I will give you that. ^^

Just for the heck of it, you're not allowed to say "cotton picking" anymore, either. A Trump aid got in trouble for using that term on Fox a few months ago, and was forced to apologize.

It's ridiculous, this particular "controversy".

It seems they were just looking for an excuse to can her.

Just watched the original comment and the apology. Here's how the apology should have gone:

"Good morning, I want to start the show with two words. I'm sorry.

"I'm sorry that some people are so offended at the slightest perceived offense when none was intended.

"I'm sorry that some people are so tied to racial and political 'correctness' that a simple children's, or for that matter, adult's, Halloween costume can cause such divisiveness. I'm sorry for all those children who want to dress up as, say, Black Panther or Superman for Halloween but whose skin happens to be the wrong color based on the so-called 'rules' set by the PC police.

"And finally and most of all, I'm sorry that so many people can't tell the difference between a simple event, of whatever type, and truly racist actions. When everything is perceived by the PC police as racist, it reduces our ability to combat those things that truly are. For those who can't see or refuse to understand this, I'm sorry."

"And now, moving on to today's show..."

It would have been entertaining to see her go out with her boots on.

Instead she cried, apologized, then gathered up her black friends (to prove she's not racist) to have a heartfelt talk about the subject Roll Eyes

She may have even been able to change some conservative minds about her had she indeed said "just blow it out your ass"

Or...this version.

"Good morning, I want to start the show with two words. I'm sorry.

"I'm sorry that some people are mentally retarded. Each of you know who you are, and that's your cross to bear, not mine.

I'm not sorry for anything I said yesterday, as my comments where not offensive in any way to anyone with a functioning brain stem.

I'm not sorry my comments caused anguish to people so hopelessly moronic they will never be anything more than a replaceable cog in the lunatic mob.

Happy Halloween, and let's see what we can find to offend you with today."

Yes, I was being facetious.

Well, I'd say that the attention is more about the innocuous nature of what she said and the silly, illogical response to it than who actually said it.

Yep, that works, too!

She won’t stand up for herself - so I don’t give a crap. It’s NBC, owned by Comcast. I expect nothing different. Do you?
