Megyn Kelly, “The Future of Fox News”

By Chris Ariens 

Slate’s Troy Patterson writes about “The Fox on FOX”, Megyn Kelly calling her “The future of Fox News…”

In any event, you cannot write her off as a bimbo just because her wavy hair shines the same color as the bullion bricks in the commercial breaks’ many advertisements for gold. She has a former lawyer’s precision with language, an appetite for sparring, a natural understanding of news reading as performance art, and the rare skill (a guest of hers has mentioned) for relaxing her guests to the point that they forget they’re on television. Though she has a mastery of the dark arts of offering false equivalency as balance and unironically chastising “the mainstream media,” she also calls herself out for editorializing.</blockquote
