Megyn Kelly, Co-Anchor of Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom”

Nov 30, 2008  •  Post A Comment

Background: Ms. Kelly was a corporate litigator before becoming a general-assignment reporter for ABC-affiliated WJLA-TV in Washington, D.C., where her assignments included the D.C. sniper case.

TV News Talent

She was hired in 2004 as a Washington-based general-assignment reporter for Fox News Channel, which deployed her on confirmation hearings for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Chief Justice John Roberts; the retirement of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and the death of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist; and the indictments of Scooter Libby and Tom DeLay, among other assignments. Her profile grew as a member of FNC’s headquarters team on much-watched Election Nights and as a regular on “The O’Reilly Factor.”

Buzz: Ms. Kelly seems possessed of an unlimited range of skills and appeal. Ratings rise when she’s on camera. She’s smart and quick on her feet. She can handle breaking news and is a natural in the studio, even up against the fierce O’Reilly. Men drool, but women still like her. She’s smart and able to communicate directly to viewers in their language. People who have worked with her say she has embarked on a career that will take her anywhere she wants to go.

  1. If she the future of TV Journalism it is time to go Internet only for news (or at least watch with the sound turned off).

  2. Megyn is my hero! She is beautiful, smart AND blond! I wish we had more role models like her, thank you Megyn!!

  3. How much are the expenses for illegal aliens and sanctuary cities contributing to the financial problems in CA? Thanks, Lori in CT

  4. Megyn (and Bill)
    Please think about this. When I saw the cartoon with the chimp and the caption, at no time did I think of Obama and an insult to the black race and here is why:
    1. He is not black or white. Many seem to forget this. He only is black when it suits his purpose.
    2. The stimulus bill was not written by Obama-but a bunch of banana eating democrats who(if I believed in evolution and that ALL HUMNAS came from monkeys) had not yet evolved far enough to write a bill that made any kind of sense.
    The people who are protesting this need to get off it but it will never happen because they love using this argument too much. None of them were slaves. Its over. they need to drop it!
    Thanks I really enjoy your show!

  5. Megyn Kelly to me is a perfect example of the All American Girl! She is drop dead gorgeous, very smart, very interesting to watch and has a wonderful projection of her personality. This woman is the one to watch! Not just for news…but as a career professional. Watch out Robin Meade…you may be cute, but Megyn has got it all.
    If I had a young daughter at home, I would tell her to look at this woman as a role model…and not the skanks like Paris Hilton or other Hollywood losers.

  6. We like Megyn but her dresses are much too short.
    If she wants to be taken seriously she does not
    need to show her thighs. When she is sitting it
    is quite a show!!!

  7. Since the first time I saw Megyn reporting the news down in Washington D.C. she has been my favorite female news anchor. I couldn’t have been happier when she landed the spot on America’s Newsroom. Megyn is intelligent, talented and simply gorgeous. She makes watching the news educational and enjoyable inspite of how ugly this world can be at times.
    Megyn Kelly you are on a plateau above all the other female news anchors outshining them all. I love seeing those short dresses and her thighs but I also understand and respect the previous lady’s opinion.

  9. Megyn Kelly,Please don’t leave,your anchor position.You and Bill is the reason I watch Fox News so early .Megyn is so up beat a lot of people need to hear her. She gives more than she realizes to me and others.You and Bill make my day.I know I seem selfish,but I love to watch both of you every day.Love both of you.

  10. I wouldn’t call Megyn Kelly the All-American girl! LOL. That is a stretch, don’t you think? She has been receiving some “constructive criticism” from her bosses at Fox as she has gone off the deep end lately, bordering on rude as she repeatedly interrupts the people she is interviewing. She has become very unprofessional over the past six months. She was a favorite of mine for a while, but since Obama won, Megyn and many personalities at Fox are biased, becoming the Republican version of MSNBC. That is a turnoff as news should remain without prejeduce or bias, like CNN. Megyn is not a journalist, just a teleprompter reader. Let’s remember that before annointing her! LOL.

  11. Megyn Kelly is not a journalist. She jumps to conclusions without having all the facts. She does not have the intellect or discipline to analyze information, and she appears to be emotionally unbalanced. While she has a pleasant appearance and has no problem showing off her legs and breasts, she has a very angry, harsh and off- putting personality. I wish her new husband the best of luck. I imagine being down range of one of her angry tirades might make you wonder if the money is worth it.

  12. READ THESE NUMBERS!!!! It’s only been 100 days, folks. Eric Hoder Attorney General? “Billary” Clinton Secretary of State? Are you kidding me? Chris “Dood” and Barney should have been thrown in jail. Keep in mind, “Slick Willy” Clinton started the collapse of the housing market, George Bush did nothing about, and Barry Soetero, aka Barrack Hussein Obama’s plan is a farce. Barrack Hussein Obama. Sounds like Osama Bi-Laden doesn’t it? To the people that voted for “change”, is this what you wanted?

    The Obama Democrats: By The Numbers
    $34,000: the amount of federal taxes that Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner (D) failed to pay during his employment at the International Monetary Fund despite receiving extra compensation and explanatory brochures that described his tax liabilities.
    $75,000: the amount of money that the head of the powerful tax-writing committee, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), was forced to report on his taxes after the discovery that he had not reported income from a Costa Rican rental property. His excuses for the failure started with blaming his wife, then his accountant and finally the fact that he didn’t speak Spanish.
    $93,000: the amount of petty cash each Congressional representative voted to give themselves in January 2009 during the height of an economic meltdown..
    $133,900: the amount Fannie Mae “invested” in Chris Dodd (D-CT), head of the powerful Senate Banking Committee, presumably to repel oversight of the GSE prior to its meltdown. Said meltdown helped touch off the current economic crisis. In only a few years time, Fannie also “invested” over $105,000 in then-Senator Barack Obama.
    $140,000: the amount of back taxes and interest that Cabinet nominee Tom Daschle (D) was forced to cough up after the vetting process revealed significant, unexplained tax liabilities.
    $356,000: the approximate amount of income and deductions that Daschle (D) was forced to report on his amended 2005 and 2007 tax returns after being caught cheating on his taxes. This includes $255,256 for the use of a car service, $83,333 in unreported income, and $14,963 in charitable contributions.
    $800,000: the amount of “sweetheart” mortgages Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd (D-CT) received from Countrywide Financial, the details for which he has refused to release despite months of promises to do so. Countrywide was once the nation’s largest mortgage lender and linked to Government-Sponsored Entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Their meltdown precipitated the current financial cr! isis. Just days ago in Pennsylvania, Countrywide was forced to pay $150,000,000 in mortgage assistance following “a sta te investigation that concluded that Countrywide relaxed its underwriting standards to sell risky loans to consumers who did not understand them and could not afford them.”
    $12,000,000: the amount of TARP money provided to community bank OneUnited despite the fact that it did not qualify for funds, and was “under attack from its regulators for allegations of poor lending practices and executive-pay abuses.” It turns out that Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), a key contributor to the! Fannie Mae meltdown, just happens to be married to one of the bank’s ex-directors.
    $23,500,000: The upper range of net worth Rep. Allan Mollohan (D-WV) accumulated in four years time according to& nbsp;The Washington Post through earmarks of “tens of millions of dollars to groups associated with his own business partners.”
    $2,000,000,000: ($2 billion) the approximate amount of money that House Appropriations Chairman David Obey (D-WI) is earmarking related to his son’s lobbying efforts. Craig Obey is “a top lobbyist for the nonprofit group” that would receive a roughly $2 billion component of the “Stimulus” package.
    $3,700,000,000: ($3..7 billion) not to be outdone, this is the estimated value of various defense contracts awarded to a company controlled by the husband of Rep. Diane Feinstein (D-CA). D espite an obvious conflict-of-interest as “a member of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee, Sen. Feinstein voted for appropriations worth billions to her husband’s firms .”
    $4,1 90,000,000: ($4.19 billion) the amount of money in the so-called “Stimulus” package devoted to fraudulent voter registration ACORN group under the auspices of “Community Stabilization Activities”. ACORN is currently the subject of a RICO suit in Ohio.
    $1,646,000,000,000 ($1.646 trillion): the approximate amount of annual United States exports endangered by the “Stimulus” package, which provides a “Buy American” stricture. According to international trade experts, a “US-EU trade war looms”, which could result in a worldwide economic depression reminiscent of that touched off by the protectionist Smoot-Hawley Act.
    It’s not just a culture of corruption. It’s a culture of corruption and stupidity. And, unlike Republicans, Democrats appear to be above the law. All of the aforementioned clowns are still in office, ruling like the royalty they’ve become.

    AND, ITS ONLY BEEN 100 DAYS, FOLKS

  13. As for Gitmo, could the name be changed to “Gitmobama” and maybe he’d reconsider his demand that we remove the terrorists from there.
    He is so arrogant and impressed with his being President/Dictator, that if he has something named after him, maybe he’d reconsider. Yeah, right. His own party is not backing this idiotic action.
    Maybe somebody could hack in on his teleprompters a message that he could read that he had reversed his decision on Gitmo.
    Don’t care what he calls them but when they walk like a terrorist, talk like a terrorist, and bomb innocent people like a terrorist, then they must be a terrorist.
