Megyn Kelly has taken aim at Stephen Colbert in a fiery response after MSNBC announced the sudden cancellation of his late-night show. The former Fox News anchor didn’t hold back, accusing Colbert of contributing to the show’s downfall with his divisive rhetoric.
Why Did MSNBC Pull the Plug?
Insiders suggest that declining ratings and shifting audience preferences played a significant role in MSNBC’s decision. However, Kelly argues that Colbert’s increasingly polarising commentary alienated viewers, leading to the show’s demise.
Kelly’s Explosive Remarks
In a blistering statement, Kelly claimed, "Colbert’s descent into partisan mudslinging was a recipe for disaster." She doubled down on her criticism, suggesting that his approach strayed too far from balanced discourse.
