I am glad Megyn Kelly got canned but I wonder why not the other actors/actress that have done the same thing...

There is no honor among thieves. While I don’t think she said anything wrong, she should have known that the extreme liberal media and wolf packs would eventually come for her for not adopting their far left, zero dissent agenda.

She'll have to go on Oprah and confess her sins, and then go on with her career.

I always thought Kelly's departure of Fox News, where she had been a staple of that Company for years was suspect, and I was even more surprised to hear that NBC would be picking her up for her own talk show, given her past. It seems that this may have been the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. What is your opinion? Should her show be canned? Or are people taking this too far?
I don't care either way. I just wish the news would actually cover news and not this teeny bopper tabloid trash.

That was the old routine; today, it's career over.

I just watched the blackface interview again. Hmm...she was fired for that? No one in the audience groaned etc. Now Melissa Rivers is saying how uncomfortable it was being there; didn't see any discomfort from her but of course she has to lie about it now.

This was another social media hit job.

Sadly that's what the majority of news is today. There's not as much investigative journalism today, it's very sad.

She asked a question, that's it. Inquiring if her beliefs, as she stated them, were wrong. Apparently they were and she was informed. Case should be closed. What a big to do for nothing

It surprises me. She's 47 years old. She studied political science and law. Her father was a college professor. How could she possibly not know what "blackface" is?

That being said, the point she intended to make, that it is unreasonable to have a taboo on people dressing up as black celebrities, is valid.

It doesn't matter. The White English/Northern Europeans will be a minority in about 20 to 50 years from now. The Hispanics will take over most of the Americas while China will dominate the world on a global scale, and it will be interesting to watch how they will handle a certain group of people who love to play the victim card.

Pretty sure Kelly knows the difference between ''blackface'' as in Minstrel shows etc vs. the taboo of people dressing up as black celebrities.

What Kelly doesn't seem to know is that in 2018, there is a difference between the two depending on who is making the point.
