Today, Halloween, was supposed to be Brexit Day in the U.K., when the country would officially leave the European Union and regain its independence and sovereignty. Prime Minister Boris Johnson promised the nation that Brexit would occur on October 31 “do or die.” The avuncular Johnson also claimed that he’d rather “die in a ditch” than agree to another Brexit deadline extension.

Megny Kelly is not having a happy Halloween.
Kelly has reportedly hired an attorney amid reports that NBC News might cancel Megyn Kelly Today.
Kelly has apologized twice this week for her Halloween-related blackface comments, remarks which have been publicly condemned by her NBC colleagues, including network chairman Andrew Lack, as well as the quick-to-pounce, virtue-signalling social justice cohort on Twitter.
In the attempt to reinvent herself from a hard news journalist to daytime diva on the 9 a.m. Eastern Today show franchise, Megyn Kelly faced a fundamental and perhaps insurmountable challenge. The ex-corporate lawyer fundamentally lacks a television constituency.
Liberals among the current audience, on social media, and the majority of journalists who work as TV critics, simply won’t accept her on the NBC daytime platform because of her Fox News Channel resume. More conservative viewers haven’t forgiven her for turning FNC’s Kelly File into an anti-Trump and Never Trump forum.
Internally, she seems to enjoy minimal backing from her co-workers, even before this latest controversy.
When Megyn Kelly Today show debuted in September 2017, the host insisted that the show would be a politics-free zone. She did, however, quickly jump on the #MeToo bandwagon — which included reporting on alleged sexual harassment scandals within NBC such as the one that engulfed Matt Lauer — perhaps as an opportunistic way to stabilize her daypart lackluster ratings.
