Rachel Beiber or Megyn: We Report, You Decide
So Last Week... .FOX News debuted a new program featuring Megyn Kelly called “The Kelly File” In it’s first two days of broadcast, The Kelly Files destroyed the competition in ratings.In fact, Megyn pretty much slaughtered them. In response, being the typical whiny ass whiners that they are, MSNBC chief Phil Griffin cried and demanded an investigation into the rating numbers. He claimed that it was “impossible” that Megyn Kelly’s show could completely annihilate “The Rachel Maddow Show”, which was Megyn’s MSNBC ‘competitor’ in that time slot. The Nielson people obligingly conducted an investigation and found that the numbers were 100% accurate.[But.... but.... how can that be!? What's Kelly got that Maddow doesn't?]

Your Say
New (not news) shows can be funny, they can start with a lot of new viewers and drop off quickly or start with few viewers and grow quickly. She started off with high numbers and she had a high number lead in. (important) MSNBC is ... well MSNBC. We will see in six months.

And Megyn is smarter too.

So is my dog.

Yeah, saying Megan outdoes Maddow in both beauty and brains is not saying much, and Megan certainly deserves more than that faint praise.
The next question is: Who could MSNBC *possibly* put forward to compete with Megan in that timeslot? (I haven't the foggiest.)

Playing devil's advocate: Maddow was a Rhodes scholar and has a Doctorate degree. Just because you disagree with them politically doesn't make them an idiot.

Grizzly, she IS an idiot

"Rachel Beiber or Megan: We Report, You Decide"
Should be:
Rachel Beiber or Megyn: We Report, You Decide
Better Yet:
Rachel Mancow or Megyn: We Report, You Decide
Potsie: sfw. Being good in school is not a test of anything other than your ability to eat and regurgitate bovine dejecta. It doesn't make you smart.

Bill O' claims to be the Big Dog on cable news.
I'm thinking he hears footsteps and a voice saying Checkmate.

I don't understand all the concern and attention given to any of the talking heads in the mainstream media. Mainstream media? Like, why watch any of the shows except for the eye candy, the T & A? Same as watching the weather - ooh, she's got nice hair or that guy, sharp suit. She's prettier, yeah but this one is smarter ...
Boy oh boy I must be woefully unenlightened; all I see is Barbie dolls rolling out the party line. If they were radio reporters one might pay attention to the content and reckon it sounds like a cow pissing on a flat rock.
There. After a deck of smokes and coming down off a caffiene jag, a rainy night, outlook a mile of barbed wire. Sisters of mercy stay outta my way.

Potsie -- Maddow apparently embraces collectivist ideology. She is, ipso facto, an idiot, QED. She may be clever and glib, but she still is of moron-level intelligence.

The difference between a fool and an educated fool is that the latter is more devoted to his condition than the former.

As I said Mark, just because you disagree with someone's political ideology doesn't make them the idiot.

It's not how well you do on a SAT test that makes one a good or bad person, - it's what you believe. Maddow may not meet all stupidity standards but she exceeds all qualifications for moral and political insanity.

Megyn is a beautiful and accomplished woman. As a new mother of her third child at 43, she is amazing.
I wish her many happy years.
Maddow is a mad cow. Too sad
The comparison says it all

Educating an idiot like Maddow only arms her idiocy.
