I wonder why she didn’t apologize to her audience.

Both of them.

So she can understand and it’s ok for her to complain about obvious gender discrimination, but she can’t understand and let others complain about obvious racial descrimination.

One of the wonderful things about my job is that I get the chance to express my ignorance and hear a lot of opinions in return. Today is one of those days where listening carefully to other points of view hearing an endless chorus of people calling me a stupid, racist bitch, including from friends and colleagues, is leading me to rethink my own views write this pathetic mea culpa.

Fixed it for ya, Megyn. No charge.

To hell with your colleagues. Apologize to the viewers, you racist fuck.

What, Megyn? Did it upset you when Kathy Lee and Hoda gave you the finger in the NBC commissary?

The thing is, she keeps doing this. So maybe she should consider being a bit less not-PC. Maybe PC isn’t, within reason, an entirely bad thing.

Dear friends & teammates little people with whom I’m forced to share the spotlight-

One of the wonderful things about my job is that I get the chance to express and hear a lot of opinions spout racist crap as a celebrity. Today is one of those days where listening carefully to other points of view, including from friends and colleagues the suits upstairs who just handed me my a$$, is leading me to rethink my own views shut my pie hole before corporate slams the breaks on this gravy train.

When we had the roundtable discussion earlier today about the controversy of making your face look like a different race as part of a Halloween costume, I suggested that this seemed okay you could get away with it if done as part of this holiday where people have the chance to make themselves look like others mock people of color while claiming, ‘It’s just a joke!’ The iconic Diana Ross came up as an example. To me, I thought, why would it be controversial for someone dressing up as Diana Ross to make herself look like this amazing woman as a way of honoring and respecting her mocking her and those kinds of people?

I realize now that such behavior is indeed wrong I could lose my cushy gig, and I am sorry pissed at the wusses in the C-suites and their legal rottweilers. The history of blackface in our culture is abhorrent; the wounds too deep much a threat to my lucrative career at NBC.

I’ve never been a “pc” non-racist kind of person — but I understand that we do need to be more sensitive in this day and age avoid blurting out how much better we are than the inferior races. Particularly on race and ethnicity issues which, far from being healed, have been exacerbated in our politics over the past year by me and my Fox buds. This is a time for more understanding, love, sensitivity and honor keeping my mouth shut, and I want to be part of that hold on to my multi-million-dollar contract. I look forward to continuing that discussion cashing obscenely-fat paychecks.

I’m honored to work furious that I have to watch my racist lip with all of you every day.

Love Seething through the fake smile I’ve plastered on my hate-filled face,

Mk

Fixed.

NBC response to the controversy:

“We apologize profusely for the unforgivable views of Megyn Kelly, but we cannot get rid of her because we were high out of our fucking minds on some really great kush and we signed her to this hella big money contract. But we promise there will be no blackface on the new season of ‘This Is Us’. Thoughts and prayers!”

How about apologizing to black people and educating her viewers why blackface is offensive? By the way, it would have taken Kelly only 5 minutes to google it to understand why it’s wrong prior to expounding on the topic on national television.

If NBC had any balls whatsoever, they would take Megyn off the air for a month and show that dog GIF on a constant loop instead.

Did that really happen, or was it wishful thinking on your part? If true are there pictures?

Oh, I wish! The idea of Kathy Lee and Hoda giving Megyn the bird is too delicious. But someone at NBC must have put the fear of God into her to make the stuck-up POS apologize with her phony apology. I am hoping “The View” has Kathy Griffin on to - along with Joy and Whoopi - filet Megyn like a chicken breast.

She was born in 1970. Unless she was raised in a forgotten and isolated forest by cult members worshipping magical gnomes, preventing her from seeing the modern world, likely burying her in a deep coal mine, she knows better.

From the wiki

“In 2003, Kelly moved to Washington, D.C., where she was hired by the ABC affiliate WJLA-TV as a general assignment reporter.[10] While there, she covered significant national and local events”

Something tells me her exposure may have been better than most. And then there is her education and other professional background.

Born in Illinois, raised across New York State.

And on and on and on. She knows better.

This is all pandering for audience share. Create a controversy, get people riled up to tune in.
