SiriusXM podcaster Megyn Kelly sat down with a former Fox News colleague on his Newsmax TV show last Wednesday evening to diagnose what’s happening to their former employer in the wake of the network’s decision to take top star Tucker Carlson off the air.
Talking with Newsmax host Eric Bolling, Kelly appeared to share some insider information indicating that upper management is in a state of ‘panic’ Fox News fell from its commanding perch over all cable news competitors in the wake of the Carlson decision.
“They’re terrified. They don’t know what to do,” she told Bolling as many prime-time shows have lost more than a million viewers since Carlson’s removal and are now barely topping MSNBC or losing out to the far-left network while CNN remains well in third place.
“There was a day when they didn’t view digital as a threat and as a competitor,” she said. “That day is gone.”
“Fox won’t let any single personality come on my show … because they understand that we’re a threat,” she said, adding: “Fox is not the monopoly it used to be.”
Currently, according to reports, Carlson’s contract with Fox runs through January 2025, months after the November elections.
“What if Tucker went someplace and actually launched a live broadcast at [his previous timeslot]? They’d get seriously hurt even worse than they have,” she predicted.
“Fox cannot allow that to go on,” she continued. “I don’t know what the solution is other than hiring Tucker back, which they’re definitely not going to do.”
