Something about Megyn Kelly supporting Clinton, being kicked off Fox?

Something popped up in the "Trending" notifications for my Facebook news feed about Megyn Kelly. When I click on it all I see is what looks like a lot of wingnut website stories, none of which I care to reward with a click. One of the headlines is:

"BREAKING: Fox News Exposes Traitor Megyn Kelly, Kicks Her Out For Backing Hillary"

Kick her out of the debates, or out of Fox News itself? Or is this total bullshit? Has anyone heard of anything like this from a more reliable news source?

Anyway, it's not like they can hide firing her if she was. Resist the click and be patient, is my advice

12. Where else will she be able to be such a dishonest journalist, though?

I don't see CNN or MSNBC allowing her to opine on Santa Claus's inherent whiteness like Fox did.

7. Everything I have read suggests that Murdoch's sons are much more centrist than their father.

And they want to take his media properties in that direction.

10. Exactly she testified against Ailes in the sexual harassment case and HATES TRUMP

She is not going to get "kicked off" of Fox, especially as she is a key figure in the harassment lawsuit and after taking Trump's disgusting abuse. No way. That would be grounds for an enormous lawsuit that Fox can't afford. The Murdoch sons apparently love her and see her as the future of Fox while the old farts like O'Reilly and Hannity are on the way out. IF she leaves Fox she is leaving because she was offered an excellent position elsewhere with a huge raise.

11. I really hope msnbc doesn't sign her

She would likely demand her own show anywhere she goes, and that would really be an affront to msnbc's viewers.

Just because she is Donald Trump's enemy doesn't make her our friend.
