Megyn Kelly To Bret Baier: ‘I Hear There May Be A Chalkboard Becoming Available’

video
» 95 comments

News broke earlier today that Fox News and Glenn Beck will ostensibly be parting ways, at least in the current definition of their relationship. While the statement released explains that the two parties will continue to work together, the announcement included the rather stunning detail that Beck intended to “transition off of his daily program.”

The only official statement on his departure so far has come on Beck’s website The Blaze, which included a comment from Fox News Chief Roger Ailes, though no one on Fox News has spoken directly about Beck’s departure until Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier yukked it up just moments ago.

While commenting on President Obama’s imminent speech on the budget deficit and looming government shutdown, Baier ran down a litany of budget figures before declaring that “I need a chalkboard,” which lead to Kelly’s arch response which you can see below, courtesy of Fox News:

    It didn’t take long for the conservatives to pick at the fresh carcass of the Glenn Beck show. They thought he was crazy the entire time like the rest of us btw for you Beck/FoxNews supporters, now he’s an off air personality for them as of 2012 they can rip him all they want.

    When you have such abject hatred as those folks above do for Beck, any type of tease (even among friends) becomes (in their minds) a projection of their own hatred.

    For example, they have previously talked O’Reilly and Beck not really getting along, because O’Reilly occasionally jabs at Beck. But anyone who has watched them together knows they get along well, and have a light-hearted relationship. The reality of the situation isn’t realized, only the projection of their own hatred… a validation of their spite and nastiness.

    It’s not true, but it’s apparently all they’ve got. I expect we’ll see a lot more of this in the coming days. Beck leaves by choice… but they’ll make up some conspiracy, create a tale for why he’s leaving, and impose their own fantasy on the situation. Nothing new.

    (Oh, and just to prove I’m equal opportunity… we saw the same behavior when Olbermann left MSNBC… although, there was more evidence of “internal conflict” to support some of the conspiracy theories.)

    @ImNotBlue: I hear you. Though to be fair, it is kind of a turnabout. It’s been less of a problem lately, but there was a time (mostly on another blog), when every ratings post was answered with hundreds of victorious whoops like it put food on the commenter’s table.

    As I’m sure you know, Beck and I wouldn’t see the same things as threats and we’re probably political opposites, but I have to admire what he’s built and as I hinted in response to a previous post, I’d even consider a job.

    Good, factual discussion of revenues lost by FOX “News” due to Beck:

    Yes, everything is becoming clearer. The advertiser boycott worked beautifully.

  • Colorado_Conservative

    So Beck is quitting his current gig at Fox to begin another gig at Fox and the loony lefties are twisting that into a victory that they got him fired?

    I stick by my previous statement……America now holds title to having the most stupidest liberals on the planet!!

    I will bet my savings account that who ever fills that spot will have better ratings than anyone at PMSBC!!

    Beck is now an off air personality as of 2012, much like John Stossel. So now FoxNews can filter and pick and choose the things they want those two to talk about and leave the unfriendly libertarian/insane views they both have. They no longer wanted him representing their station, simple as that, he’s a behind the scenes guy like Phantom of the Opera, just far less noble.

    Just be honest, Royal. Even if Murdoch came out tomorrow with a spreadsheet documenting how much money Beck was bringing in, you still wouldn’ believe it? Just say, “I’ve made up my mind… and will fit the situation to my conclusion.” Just be honest… if you can.

    Just seems like a light-hearted joke to me. In the GQ interview, Kelly said this:

    I always marvel at people who hate Glenn Beck, the same way I marvel at people who hate the other prime-time hosts on the other channels. What part of the First Amendment do you have a problem with?

    Bret Baier on the other hand…

    There’s some discussion in the other thread between all the gloating and defensive posture, plus there’s tons of humorous suggestions mostly from political opponents and even a few from myself on Twitter.

    Though in all seriousness, my money would be on one or both featured in the above clip.

    RhapsodyinBlue said:

    Actually as I alluded to in a previous comment, it looks like Ms. Kelly was making the joke and Mr. Baier seemed somewhat oblivious. Most likely because there’s more Fox employees in New York and they were all abuzz, while the smaller Washington Bureau may be focused on the budget.

  • http://twitter.com/SailRabbits Magister

    Okay, maybe not oblivious and perhaps Megyn’s just better with the humor.

    So what are you going to do with all your free time, GBR? Find another creepy obsession? Start talking about how it’s a good thing he decided to leave, so you didn’t have to release the “bombshell?”

    Well actually it is kind of different. I was originally responding to someone who posted in different places, off topic, that 30 Rock was ending. Tina Fey did a good spoof of Sarah Palin, and Palin herself even stopped by SNL to celebrate it. Glenn Beck, on the other hand, has called progressives “enemies of God” and their beliefs a “cancer in America.” And he was not trying to be ironic or funny about it.

    Personally I lived a perfectly happy life with Glenn Beck having a daily Fox News show and I’ll be just as content after he’s gone. I have other things to do than worry about what Glenn Beck said today. The guy is inflammatory, however, and if people want to stop and make a smart ass remark about his departure I certainly don’t blame them. It would be no different if Real Time with Bill Maher ended, either.

    I just dislike liars and hypocrites. Hence why you and I have such a problem. I expose you for lies and hypocrisy, and then you disappear for a week or two. You come back, play dumb (I hope you’re playing) and then it starts up again. Such is life.

    Now tell me, what exactly didn’t you understand? Let me help you out.

    ImNotBlue, the thing to realize about the real racist king is that nothing he says matters.

    Not to toot my own horn… but few people know that better than I.

    But messing with him is still fun. He thinks he’s very smart, and that comes through in his writing. So catching him (relatively easily) in lies, hypocrisy, and various nonsense is entertaining. It’s like watching a movie, and looking for the continuity errors… but on a much smaller, and (as you said) less significant scale.

    How is a hypothetical situation where Sarah Palin “smiles” that 30 Rock is ending different from anonymous posters leaving snide or celebratory remarks about Glenn Beck’s show leaving FNC?

    Well… because one actually happened, and the other is just imagined. I mean, that’s a good place to start, no?

    But more importantly, in your original post, you (sarcastically) spoke about Palin’s (imagined) reaction to 30 Rock would be mean-spirited… especially towards those who worked for the show. Yet, your sympathy for 30 Rock’s employees, seems nonexistent when it comes to Beck’s workers. The point being, if you’re going to criticize someone for “celebrating” the end of a television program (even though it hasn’t really happened), you should probably be more even handed in it.

    You don’t see how these scenarios are different? Really? Furthermore, why did you even have any remarks for my comment at all? What does it matter?

    If it doesn’t matter, why did you post it?

    I never made any reference to Beck’s show. I was taking a poke at the popular idea that Sarah Palin is a vindictive and petty person. One who would be “smiling in Alaska” at the thought of 30 Rock’s demise. It is always unfortunate when people lose work and I don’t understand where this even-handedness concern of yours comes from. The only jokes I have made have been at the expense of Beck viewers. None of which occurred on this thread.

    I ask why does it matter as in why does it matter to you? I was just ribbing someone. Yet, you interjected in a rather banal back and forth with some charges of hypocrisy. It seems you worry too much about defending Fox News. People who like it will still like it and those who don’t still don’t.

    Since when did megyn kelly become such a b i t c h??? Don’t really pay much attention to her but had always thought she was half way decent. hey megyn it is one thing to be an a s s but another to go out of your way to prove it. Perhaps we will laugh at you one day!!!

    As suggested by some of the comments here, Megyn’s “chalkboard” remark seems to fall into that gray area where some consider it innocuous while others will consider it inappropriate.

    The fact that there are some (presumably reasonable) people that find it inappropriate should persuade us that even if we found it harmless, perhaps it would have been better off not being said.

    For example, if someone texts me that something I said was inappropriate shouldn’t I at least consider that it might have been even it escapes me why they were offended.

    Finally, I can’t imagine anyone seeming giddy (at least not on camera) the day Keith Olbermann left. Or for that matter at CNN/HLN when Lou Dobbs left.

    I will never watch these two MORONS again! They are OFF MY TIVO!

    Glenn Beck is a Patriot and he is a hundred times more intelligent than any of the idiots on Fox News. He will be a smashing success at anything he does in the future. Go Glenn. You have MILLIONS of loyal fans who will follow you and watch your back. When you leave Fox News, my home will be back to Talk Radio again. No more Fox News and their silly Shepard Smith “Bear Alerts!” He’s a “real Journalist”, you know. Pfft! REALLY??

  • Sunnyr

    I’ve always thought that Megyn was a Bimbo and a histrionic moron, but I expected a little more from Bret Baier. I have been a faithful watcher of his news broadcast because I can’t stand the mundane Shepard Smith and his silly “news” show. However, I have just removed Bret from my TIVO and will get my news from the Internet. Expect Fox News’ ratings to PLUMMET after Glenn Beck leaves.

    Go Glenn and good luck on your new endeavor…..hope it’s your own TV Channel!! :)

    So what’s up with that snarky little twit??? And bret baier is just a stupid little porkie! They can hide their jealousy just so long and then it just has to escape. Well we know that what goes around comes around so airhead megyn listen up as you may just have your turn.

    ——————————————————-
    Glenn Beck always incites an overwhelming JEALOUSY in those who are less talented and intelligent than Glenn. Mr. Beck is worth MILLIONS and these TWITS can’t stand it. I love it. Go Glenn!! We love you!

    Despite it being the topic of this thread…

    I was taking a poke at the popular idea that Sarah Palin is a vindictive and petty person. One who would be “smiling in Alaska” at the thought of 30 Rock’s demise.

    Which was made up…

    It is always unfortunate when people lose work and I don’t understand where this even-handedness concern of yours comes from. The only jokes I have made have been at the expense of Beck viewers. None of which occurred on this thread.

    Which means you mock people for political reasons (namely, they disagree with you)…

    I ask why does it matter as in why does it matter to you? I was just ribbing someone. Yet, you interjected in a rather banal back and forth with some charges of hypocrisy.

    Which are still evident…

    It seems you worry too much about defending Fox News. People who like it will still like it and those who don’t still don’t.

    It’s not someone who likes it, versus someone who doesn’t. It’s about fairness and honesty. You participated in a meme based on nothing, with the intention of mocking and attacking someone you disagree with. Yet at the same time, you glossed over a similar situation, which would have shown “your side” to be just as foolish as those you were mocking.

    You can call it joking… but to me, it looked like another attempt to bully. And that’s why I jumped in.

    Let me be the first to call her a RINO!!

    A very pretty RINO.

  • Tedderman

    I havn’t seen that look on Brett’s face since Jon Stewart wiped his set with him on his recent visit.

  • George Sore-ohs

    Who’s to say Beck wont go back to CNN.

    I heard him a while back say he thought Anderson Cooper was a good guy and a good journalist.

  • Nacho

    Maybe the chalk board joke was something about Glenn Becks education level. Everybody else at FoxNews has a college education, but Beck, like his dimwitted gullible incestuous middle America viewers, never thought much of that them thar higher educations.

    The elitists with their education at FoxNews are laughing at the mindless tools that are making them rich.

    Beck and olberdouche are going to do a point counter point type program sponsored by their tinfoil hat suppler. You will fit the sought after demo perfectly.

    With her catty remarks, this girl (Megyn) will not last long on her perch. Remember the perky girl on the lame-stream media network. That will be Megyn’s result also. I used to really like her. No more.

    You’re an idiot.

    She’s annoying.
