Sad day for Fox News, Great day for Tucker Carlson: Megyn Kelly breaks it down

Megyn Kelly joins Eric Bolling to on Newsmax to talk about the disastrous day in mainstream media after Tucker Carlson and Fox News went their own way. Don Lemon was fired from CNN and Dan Bongino parted ways with Fox News as well. It was like a mainstream media mass exodus that caught a lot of people off-guard. Megyn Kelly believes this is bad for Fox News and good for Tucker Carlson because he can go independent and then do whatever he wants. Megyn Kelly said the following during her appearance with Eric Bolling:

“It’s pretty stunning that they would pull the rug out from underneath the number one show on Fox News, the 8 p.m. show. And I think it’s a sad day for Fox News, but I think it’s a great day for Tucker because I think he will go independent. This is just my supposition — that he’ll go independent like I have. He will no longer answer to a corporate master. He will be free to say whatever he wants to say within the bounds of defamation law, of course. And he’ll be totally unleashed. And he leaves directly from his primetime post, so have a massive audience that will be looking to hear him and follow him. And I think if you look at what’s happening online already, there are a lot of Fox News fans who say he was the only reason I was still watching Fox, and now you’ve taken that away.”

“So it is a loss for Fox. I mean, I’m guessing Eric that their calculation is [Megyn] Kelly left. We fired [Bill] O’Reilly, not to mention Greta [van Susteren], Shepherd [Smith] left. We did just fine. It’s the Fox News juggernaut that puts points on the board, and the audience will get over it. And you know, maybe they can advertise that hour better without Tucker because he was controversial, and he was such a target for the left that the show did not make a lot of money in terms of advertising. You know, you can’t get a Mercedes or an AMEX to advertise in an hour like that because he’s been made into such a pariah that it could be pure financial calculations. You know, they’ll do better with a new host there and what their audience wants — too bad.”

Fox News apparently lost millions in market value, up near one billion, the day Tucker Carlson was basically removed from Fox News. Customers are very angry over the split and some have even cut ties with the network themselves, vowing not to watch it anymore or going so far as to cancel their Fox Nation subscription.
