Megyn Kelly is being fired because she shone too much light on NBC's #MeToo problem

If NBC thought they had purchased a pretty, compliant face when they hired Megyn Kelly, they may discover, too late, that they were mistaken.

Kelly, who came to dominate Fox News’ prime-time block with searing wit and a rapid legal mind, has found herself in hot water in her $69 million, three-year contract with NBC News. NBC’s most vocal talking head and executives would have you believe Kelly’s troubles are due to a racially insensitive but not intentional gaffe earlier this week. Don’t believe them.
