Out of curiosity I watched the beginning of the show. My reaction was the whow only goes downhill from here.
Ratings Flop – Megyn Kelly Broadcast Show, Trump Interview, Few Viewers and Last Place… Posted on May 18, 2016 by sundance
Apparently the broadcast premier of Megyn Kelly, containing the interview with Donald Trump, was a major flop gathering only 4.7 Million viewers and coming in last place amid 8:00pm broadcast TV watchers. –Article Here–
megyn Kelly bookThis is probably no surprise to those who have followed the slow downward spiral of Fox News, and specifically Megyn Kelly, since the news executives made the business decision to oppose candidate Donald Trump.
It was not an altruistic endeavor when Megyn Kelly walked into Trump Tower last month and requested the interview.
Kelly and Trump had been locked in a battle since August of 2015, a full eight months (<—remember that number). Her visit was only two days after the public information came out of Fox News poor financial results, and Rupert Murdoch’s severe loss in capital amid all his various enterprises.
One of the Murdoch holdings to take a hit was Harper Collins Books. Harper Collins is the entity who gave Kelly a massive advance of $10 million for her exclusive book (pictured above left). Yeah, the virus of failure was headed toward the executives of Harper Collins and they needed something to calm their nerves, toot sweet.
With Fox stock dropping precipitously, and with Harper Collins on the hook for a significant sum, and with Megyn Kelly’s ratings loss in the key demo (25-54), Kelly walked into Trump Tower because she had to, not because she wanted to. Two days later another public media report showed just how badly Fox News was being beaten by their competitor CNN.
