Seems Megyn Kelly is already toxic for NBC. JPMorgan-Chase becomes the first company to pull ads from NBC because of Megyn Kelly and her interview with Alex Jones. After Kelly bombed with her Putin interview, she went to Alex Jones who is hated by the left and some on the right. Megyn Kelly has been a dismal failure for NBC and I couldn’t be happier. Megyn Kelly’s ego will do her in at NBC just like it did at Fox News. Too bad too. At one time, she was a great reporter.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is asking NBC to remove local TV ads and digital spots from Megyn Kelly’s NBC newsmagazine until after her interview with Infowars founder Alex Jones airs.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the company had asked for the withdrawal of the spots, as well as on other NBC News programming and promotions for the interview. A source confirmed the report.
Kristin Lemkau, chief marketing officer, tweeted earlier on Monday that “as an advertiser, I’m repulsed that @megynkelly would give a second of airtime to someone who says Sandy Hook and Aurora are hoaxes.”
Kelly teased the interview on her show on Sunday as a “riveting exchange.” It is set to air on June 18.
She defended interviewing Jones, known for pushing conspiracy theories, by noting that President Trump has praised him and has been on his show. She also noted that Infowars has a White House press credential. “Many don’t know him; our job is 2 shine a light.”
Megyn Kelly and NBC deserve each other.
