I honestly am so angry at the deluge of hate directed at Megyn for comments that were part of a much more generalized segment on political correctness. Megyn has been attacked for one thing or another since her show started. The ladies on the View continue to spew their crap constantly. I agree that her morning show format was not in her wheelhouse but Megyn never stood a chance. I tweeted my support to her. I hope she recovers from this.
Roker and everyone else at NBC pretty much threw Megyn under the bus. How the comic book caricature that is Al Roker can spend a career making millions acting like a buffoon says a lot about the idiocracy of our society.

Full disclosure: No I was not happy about how/why she left Fox News and her involvement in Roger Ailes' downfall. Nor was I happy about how she's being utilized at NBC.

That being said: If those comments were the cause of the end of MKT (not sure if she's staying on), if I were her, I'd say "Screw it, fire me and cut my severance check already." Given how network news has gone south (hat tip to social media), Megyn should take her millions and be a wealthy stay at home mom on the Upper East Side. She's married with beautiful children and a lovely a$$ that gets tapped on a regular basis; who needs to live and work in a global fishbowl at the mercy of those riding the hamster wheel of outrage?

Roger Ailes is responsible for his downfall. Get your head out of the sand.

Is there an emoji for flipping the bird?

For what?

Megyn's "involvement" was really nothing more than happening to work there, and affirming later on
what a skeeve Ailes was after others already had-- It's pretty safe to assume nobody held a gun to his head and forced him to conduct himself that way.

IIRC Kelly was FNC's biggest female star at the time, for her to come out publicly against Ailes & O'Reilly definitely pushed things in a different direction.
Not blaming her, just noting that things may have gone a bit differently if she supported those two instead---as a few others did--- or even just said nothing.

If I recall Kimberly Guilfoyle was a supporter of both and she was forced out.

If only we need Lindsay Czarniak and/or Maria LaRosa to join the Today Show in the near future, that would be great.
