I don't think firing of Megyn Kelly was necessary. She just made a comment that was not a taboo from her childhood. Thanks to entertainment, media, publishing, journalism, social media, tech and academia being over ran by feminist and Social Justice in the past decade. What was insensitive in the past, has become sensitive now. The reason why? In the past decades, feminist and social justice schools of thought invaded and captured the following industries. Media, tech, social media, publishing, entertainment, academia, journalism. In these such industries, those that be can control the whole entire narraitive of the country, even though those people in such spheres of influence are in the minority vs the majority of Americans. Black face is offensive, but a decade ago Jimmy Falon, Jimmy Kimmel and Robert Downey Jr all did black face. Problem with Blackface is that it is part of Hollywood, TV and part of American entertainment history, and it will be hard to erase. If Megyn Kelly did make a comment like now, but ten years ago. I can guarantee her show would have never got canned, due to no fear of an SJW mob.
If her ratings were strong enough, and all things else equal, NBC wouldn't have fired her. Her apology would suffice. Roseanne had high ratings on ABC, but her tweets on someone's looks were much more offensive, so even ratings can't save someone though, so it's weighed out relatively. But that's my two cents.
There was likely internal jealousy from the rest of Today with Kelly's high salary while she did less work than Hoda. Kelly was the highest paid after Matt Laurer's exit. It didn't appear that she fit in well or was well liked. Also, interesting is one of the two strong critics of her initial apology, Al Roker assumes back his 9am hour and will likely seek a raise from NBC for more on air work.
One of the few in media who liked her was Gayle King, but she's at CBS. The Today cast likely all wanted her out.

I voted No. And that's just for "normal times".
I give it a No-Squared for these times, with rampant xenophobia and other bigotries - especially with the Bigot-in-Chief at the helm.
megyn is now filthy rich and never has to work again in her life.
she walked away with all $69mil for saying stupid stuff.
I wish I had this much luck in life
