Cable TV is for low-info Neanderthals with aggressive neuroinvasive prion infections.

[BabblingBrooks]

I thought that was network TV! Or HuffPost...

[rubygreen]

And once again - you are here!

[BabblingBrooks]

In other words, she's the antithesis of Sotomayor! She does not ignore the law or facts, she correctly analyzes them.

[montecarlo408]

I can picture you trying to hold in your laughter. Now please hold in your comments. They, as usual, make no sense. Boy oh boy is your screen name appropriate for you.

[x004Ronin]

Um, was that supposed to be intelligent or witty?

[TracySLC]

Really? You are trying to compare a dizzy blonde newswoman with a future Supreme Court Justice? Come on.

[houseboat67]

Does your mom know you are back on the computer?

[Dailykook]

All the best Megan...You are much softer on the eyes than Rachel Madow.

[Jazzman323]

Absolutely.

[kelvinstinks]

obviously you prefer dumb blondes as opposed to women who actually know what they are talking about...

[poaster]

Not on the ears though. Too loud and sounding like a machine gun. Her and Jane Velez went to same same voice counselor, who apparently was hard of hearing.

[rubygreen]

fauxnoise newsreaders all sound the same. It's required.

[Bobzmcishl]

She may be easy on the eyes but hard on the ears. Just another Fox right wing ideologue.

[BabblingBrooks]

When Megyn Kelly Kendall Kelly was first on Fox, the first day I saw yer, I wrote Fox News and told them they had a diamond, one already polished, on their hands and that they had best treat her well and give her much more responsibility.

1) She's gorgeous.
2) She does NOT assume, she does not fabricate.
3) She's gorgeous.
4) She takes the facts--just the facts!--and logically analyzes them to reach perfectly reasonable conclusions. She does not make assumptions and does not ignore facts or use twisted logic to reach a conclusion she likes.
5) She's gorgeous.
6) She's not at all afraid to confront those with whom she disagrees, whether powerful politicians or other TV personalities and commentators. She doesn't suffer dissembling and spinning gladly.
7) She's gorgeous.

[Hagrid]

Kelly is smart, accomplished and fair.

[BabblingBrooks]

She is fair by being accurate and factual. This is my definition of fair. She isn't fair by trying to make something come out in a way that FEELS warm and fuzzy. Thanks.

[GrandGuignol]

Is that when she is not teabagging Bill O'Reilly?

[Jazzman323]

Right on all points. And she is gorgeous too.

[BabblingBrooks]

I hadn't noticed! My daughter-in-law is also lovely and was a former Jones-Day partner, the law firm at which Kelly worked.

[TracySLC]

she probably saves you money from having to subscribe to porn.

[Winthorpe]

"Facts" like the high-speed train from Disneyland to the Bunny Ranch?

Right, that is after you wiped off, right?..........:)

[wadenelson1]

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
Its interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

[Jazzman323]

Megyn Kelly is the antithesis of the bubble headed blonde TV reporter.

[ediva75]

Oooooh Foxy Lady!! LOL

Megyn better make some room for another potential Foxy Lady by the name of Carrie Prejean (aka California Barbie)! LOL

[BabblingBrooks]

Fox News threads draw out the fools, don't they?

[rubygreen]

As confirmed by you being here "gushing" over a shrill.

[TracySLC]

Yeah, you're a prime example.

[futate01]

I quote;
"1) She's gorgeous.
2) She does NOT assume, she does not fabricate.
3) She's gorgeous.
4) She takes the facts--just the facts!--and logically analyzes them to reach perfectly reasonable conclusions. She does not make assumptions and does not ignore facts or use twisted logic to reach a conclusion she likes.

I guess birds of a feather flock together.

[Jazzman323]

Also gorgeous, but no law degree.

[Deparis]

I can't bring myself to watch her gossipy teevee station and wouldn't be watching her unfortunately, but gosh i tell you... she's kinda hawt and you know what I would do instead.

[elizucinda]

I'm shocked...You mean you aren't watching her for her superb journalistic abilities?

[barkrudedog69]

Everyone at Fox is a commenTATOR not a journalist.

[pat20ut]

***REALITY CHECK:***
FOX NEWS is a ratings Juggernaut -------
MSNBC can't beat the Sham WOW guy -----
CNN is boring personalities coupled with bad ratings

Olbergirl needs to be fired! And replaced by Ed Shultz
Fox should hire Maddow as a commentator against a Hannity --
Chris Mathews should be sent to an NBC affiliate in Alaska to cover the girl of his dreams: Sarah Palin!

[KrystynM]

Fox is a ratings juggernaut because its one stop shopping for a very specific segment of the US population. No one ever claimed that segment wasn't large....but if you look at the total number of viewers for ALL OTHER SOURCES, it blows Fox away.

[Catfish1968]

Also, Fox news has lots of left-wing people who watch them, to see what their point of view is, even though they disagree with Fox's position. The right, on the other hand, isn't interested in hearing any other viewpoints, therefore they remain ignorant and the "other" stations don't rack up the big ratings. But, please be assured, many people, including myself, really enjoy Keith, Rachel and Ed. Oh, and Rachel would cut up Hannity in under a minute -he wouldn't even know what hit him (Mostly because logic and reason escapes him).

[poaster]

You are correct that under 80 IQ demograph.

[pat20ut]

What sources? MSNBC is a ratings dud---all personalities should be fired and the network needs to reboot.

[stokely]

***REALITY CHECK:***

fixednews does a very good job catering to its very old, not too bright viewers! ie the dwindling Whig er Rep party.

Cable news minutia ratings are unimportant especially now when Obama and the Dems have a stranglehold on the majority!

but, but, but would like to see Kelly, Wiehl and Carlson in a (3) way, I digress ...

take care, blessings

[Jazzman323]

Not even the left can deny the beautiful women on FOX News.

[ModerateMouse]

Cable TV is for Neanderthals.

[stokely]

Yea, conservatives home away from home eh

They need to get out and smell the roses ...

especially now that the Whigs er Reps are going the way of the dinosaur lol

take care, blessings

[Dailykook]

Chris Mathews should start his own website called " Perez Hilton" of politics.

[Jazzman323]

I loved the quote "Anderson Cooper: The Paris Hilton of cable news." I can't remember who said it.

[TracySLC]

Fox news has high ratings, because we have a very large elderly population. The rest of the viewers are comprised of centrists and lefties who to watch to 'keep a watchful eye on the enemy'. The remaining viewers are toothless rednecks who are too cheap to pay for online porn, so they tune in to enjoy Fox's stable of bleached blonds.

[olddognewtrick]

Another Fox bimbette in waiting.

[Keith52]

Thank god she's white and has blond hair and a 70's hair style. Otherwise FOX viewers will be very upset.

[GringoLingo]

Too bad for you she is smart, a shrewd debater, and capable of dismantling liberal rhetoric.

[dillydawg]

She is unchallenged. However, I am sure she can more than hold her own on the pole.

[Hank007]

No she's not. Lol.

[Mycorrhizae]

Is that why she needed the nose job-- for debate?

[barkrudedog69]

And Bill O puts her in her place many times. She is a person. She is not perfect. If Greta goes and she gets a shot at the job she will do fine. She has her views it is America and she can defend them with her inteligence. If you put her up against someone of the same caliber from the left they would be just as able body. It is not a war of the left and right in America. It is a news show. The left has people just as smart and beautiful they also have Helen T.

I find it amazing that the left and the right have to go back and forth on everything.

How in the world do all of us not know that her hair was not done by a union hair dresser that voted for Obama? We dont...why does it matter? It does not matter.

Why fight and defend all this petty stuff?

[elizucinda]

How good is she at dismantling right wing rhetoric?

[deeppeace]

Well, at least they're giving up on pretending to be journalism.

[booboo111]

Greta taking on a new career as a ventriloquist.

[poaster]

She is going on a new panel show with Chris Wallace and Dick Cheney. It is sure to be a non stop smirkfest.

[dappleganger]

I saw her on O'Reilly last night and she's just as shrill and illogical as he is.
More of the same from Faux News.

[GringoLingo]

I think you accidentally watched Maddow.

[YouCanKeepYourChange]

No it was Overbite not Madcow

[ediva75]

I much rather watch Maddow who actually has expertise and knowledge and a Dr behind her name!! LOL

It is refreshing to watch a woman who doesn't look like "Valley of The Dolls" talking about news!!

[Dailykook]

Haha LOL

[obamaluv]

She has empathy and with a rich Irish American background can bring more than a white woman.

[GringoLingo]

Megyn is the smartest person on Fox News. I really enjoy it when she is on.

[dappleganger]

That's not saying much.

[GringoLingo]

It says a lot. I would love to you see you try to debate her.

[Bafun]

In the Kingdom of the Blind, the One-Eyed woMan is queen

[chgoblue]

Amongst the college drop outs of Hannity and Rove. Pretty low bar.

[kelvinstinks]

Even if she was the smartest person on Faux, that's not saying too much, is she smarter than a 5th grader, not......

[slipthalo]

Not much to compare her with to be honest. If she can add 1 + 0 she's wins the smartest title hands down.
