Hey, remember Megyn Kelly? She was a big time “star” at Fox News during the early 2010s.. She is also a rabid Trump hater and bailed on Fox to take a multi-million dollar contract from NBC. She ultimately proved to be an epic failure and watchers of NBC hated her, so she was gone from there in less than a year. Now, CNN has gone fishing for Fox News rejects. They hired hack Chris Wallace, and it hasn’t exactly worked out well as no one is paying to watch the drama queens. Seems they made an off to Megyn Kelly too. According to her, she rejected it because CNN viewers, the few that actually exist don’t like her.
You know your career hit rock bottom when CNN wants you.
Independent journalist Megyn Kelly told radio host Buck Sexton that when she ultimately decided to leave Fox News, then-CNN president Jeff Zucker had made her “a huge offer.”
Kelly, who initially went to NBC following her tenure at Fox News, said that she turned the offer down because she did not believe there was an audience for her at CNN — a fact that she said veteran “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace was likely learning firsthand after making the jump himself.
Sexton, a former CIA officer in the Counterterrorism Center, said that after appearing as a guest on a number of different shows across multiple networks, he had gotten to know some of the producers and assistants — the people who he said knew everything about what went on behind closed doors.
That, Sexton explained, was why he had not been shocked when CNN cut ties with former “PrimeTime” anchor Chris Cuomo and when former network president Jeff Zucker resigned.
