Midknight Review -- new and revised: Kelly is out with Tucker to the rescue

The Hill: Fox News's Tucker Carlson is nearly doubling the ratings of his predecessor, Megyn Kelly, when compared to the same time period last year, according to Nielsen Media Research.

"Tucker Carlson Tonight" is up 95 percent in the 25- to 54-year-old demographic that advertisers covet most compared with the same period in 2016, when "The Kelly File" occupied the 9 p.m. ET time slot.

Carlson has averaged 775,000 viewers per night in the category, while Kelly averaged 398,000 during the same time period, Jan. 11–22.

Editor's notes: As it turns out, Kelly will not be "on air" at NBC until September when she will appear with Matt Lauer on the Today show. No more news for the lady, perhaps the best use of her talents.

What she did with the decision to turn down a secure future at Fox, included moving to the most biased network in modern times, giving up a loyal audience that stood by her in her conflict with Trump as she works to completely reframe who she is (once a gifted steely eyed reporter, now a wannabee talk show host), preferring celebrity to a career of substance and true meaning.

She stayed with Fox just long enough to make a few bucks off her book (sales have collapsed since her decision to leave, btw). While no one wishes her failure, still, her decision is more about her disdain for conservative broadcasting than celebrity or "moving up the food chain." One simply cannot move to a network such as NBC apart from a marked change in one's politic.

In the end, her move was good for Fox News, that is without question.

To Megyn, we can only say "see ya."

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
