Let's not talk about what the top brass of the navy Seal's believe...From the link:
Maybe a little, Lowell said, adding, “but just in the last hour the head of the Navy SEALs, the senior leadership, put out a letter — “
Kelly cut him off: “That was out last week.”
She explained to the other producers that the letter urged the SEALs to maintain their silence, a move that appeared to put O’Neill (and, though she didn’t say it, Fox) on the wrong side of a debate about military honor.
Kelly did not think the show needed to delve into any such details.
But she appeals to a more diverse group....More from the link:
In the process, Kelly’s program has not just given America’s top-rated news channel its biggest new hit in 13 years;
it has demonstrated an appeal to the younger and (slightly) more ideologically diverse demographic Fox needs as it seeks to claim even more territory on the American journo-political landscape.
And here is why...More from the link:
On Kelly’s first day back, in August, she invited Gallagher onto her show and proceeded to
strafe him mercilessly. “The United States is the only advanced country that doesn’t require paid leave,” Kelly told him. “
If anything, the United States is in the dark ages when it comes to maternity leave. And what is it about getting pregnant and carrying a baby nine months that you don’t think deserves a few months off so bonding and recovery can take place? Hmm?” When Gallagher asked whether men were entitled to the same time off, Kelly informed him that indeed they were. “
It’s called the Family Medical Leave Act,” she said.
More diverse appeal, destroying Carl "Whirly" Rove From the link:
Then, a year later, came the Megyn moment that made her career, with Rove on election night 2012. She was the co-anchor with Bret Baier, the anchorman of “Special Report.” By 10 p.m. or so, as Republican hopes for the presidency were starting to dim, Rove was on the Fox News set insisting that Romney still had a chance.
“Is this just the math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better or is it real?” Kelly snapped.
The Times media columnist David Carr wrote that Kelly had appeared to be “speaking for many of us,” and that, at least in this one confrontation, Fox News had “landed firmly on the side of journalism, the facts and a narrative based on reality as opposed to partisan fantasy.”
And this is how Roger Ailes (with Kelly as his Star) plan on diversity...From the link:
How does Ailes maintain the aging conservative base that has allowed him to control the present while at the same time drawing in younger and independent viewers that will allow him to grow and control the future? Fox News, in this way, is confronted by the same problem the Republican Party faces, and Ailes appears to be solving his problem the way anyone hoping to build a winning national coalition must: by emphasizing personality.
When Ted Turner started CNN, he proclaimed that “the news is the star.” Ailes, on the other hand, has always been a vocal believer in the power of personality...
Ailes’s advice was just what you would expect: “If you can get the audience to pull for you, you’ll always win.”
In conclusion , Fox News is a personality driven News organization. To expand their base they are hiring a more diverse Anchor group. That IMHO will eventually alienate the majority of you Tea Loons and eventually lead to another network that will peel off the old hard right wingers. But as of now it is all you have and you can play the RINO game while watching the only show you have in town ...
