There must have been a lot of curiosity seekers for Megyn Kelly’s first television interview since parting ways with NBC News in January 2019. As a result, her appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight generated huge ratings. About four million viewers watched the Fox News Channel interview conducted by Carlson with the former NBC Today show host, and prior to that, the anchor of FNC’s The Kelly File.
Andrea Tantaros, the Tied Up in Knots author, is still trying to tie the Fox News Channel up in court. With her huge fan-base popularity at the time, Tantaros would have been the logical choice to replace Kimberly Guilfoyle as co-host of The Five after KG left the show to work on the Trump reelection campaign. Unfortunately, Fox News suspended Tantaros with pay in late April 2016 and parted ways with her in October of that year. Except for a Good Morning America appearance, the ex-Outnumbered panelist has essentially been absent from television ever since.
Corporate America, including Big Tech, credulously allows skewed “hate group” data from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a basis for de-platforming mainstream, responsible right-of-center commentators or groups, or others perceived to be politically conservative. Referencing a tell-all published by The New Yorker late last month, Washington Examiner columnist Becket Adams excoriates the civil rights organization loved by the mainstream fake news media, however, of actually functioning as a “vicious, left-wing attack dog” and money-making scam that smears “Christians and anti-extremist activists.”
WFAN is perhaps best known for imperious, top-rated afternoon drive talk show host Mike Francesa who retired in December to much FANfare and hoopla only to unretire a few months later after the successor show tanked in the ratings.

• September: Craig Carton gets arrested, resigns.
• December: Mike Francesa leaves
• April: Mike Francesa comes back
• July: Joe Benigno gets sued for…..things.
What a time to be Mark Chernoff.
