What’s the Next Step for Megyn Kelly After the Tucker Carlson Interview?

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. read more

Andrea Tantaros Is Back in Court Against Fox News

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. read more

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.” read more

WFAN Radio Host Joe Benigno Accused in $5 Million Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

New York City 24/7 sports radio station WFAN and its parent companies have been hit with a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by ex-sales executive Lauren Lockwood that also reportedly names on-air host Joe Beningno as one of the defendants.

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.

Let’s review what’s happened over the course of 10 months at WFAN:

• 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. read more
