mostly because she is just a flat out, hard-shelled racist who is trying
to bring her version of hate to liberals who just will not buy it like
racist conservatives.

Racism is hate and hate is bad and bad is not good and now you know.

Female Tech Worker Refuses Megyn Kelly’s Intvu Request About Sexual
Harassment

A female tech worker in Silicon Valley says she rejected NBC News talent
Megyn Kelly’s interview request about sexual harassment in the tech
industry.

On Twitter, Kelly Ellis, who apparently (@justkelly_ok) has called out
Google superiors for sexual harassment in the past, revealed this week
that “she got off the phone with NBC producers” once she found out she
was being contacted for a segment on Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly.

“It saddens me since the story itself needs major national attention, but
a racist doing a show about harassment undermines the whole thing,” Ellis
continued, adding that she felt “good” that she was “able to express that
directly to a producer and make clear that” she was declining to
participate because of Kelly.

As Breitbart News has pointed out, Kelly’s ratings have spectacularly
tanked—her last show was her lowest rated program to date and a years-old
rerun of Dateline that ran last week while Kelly was on vacation got more
viewers than Kelly’s last poorly-rated show—in part because she has
“alienated” everyone.

Working-class voters who support Donald Trump cannot stand her because it
looks more and more like she bashed Trump and his voters solely to
elevate her own profile among the media elites.

Those in the establishment media have criticized Kelly for her lack of
substance—HuffPost, for instance, obtained her unedited interview with
Vladimir Putin in which a “nervous” Kelly lobbed nothing but “softballs.”
Kelly has been resoundingly criticized for not only lacking gravitas, but
for also being generally clueless and not prepared. For instance, she had
no clue that India’s prime minister—who is the world’s second-most
followed politician on Twitter after Trump and whose use of Twitter has
been profiled in numerous outlets like Time and the New York Times well
before Trump won the White House—was even on Twitter.

Others, especially those on the left, have not forgiven Kelly for saying
“ridiculous” and “racist” things on Fox News, like when she insisted that
Santa was white. As Variety noted, Kelly’s “history of cringeworthy
statements about black people” may come back to hurt her “in a timeslot
that happens to draw a large African-American female audience” when Kelly
hosts her daily one-hour show in the fall:

According to Nielsen data for the 2015-16 season, African-American
women comprised 23.1% of the total TV audience in the (nearly
synchronous) 7 a.m.- 3 p.m. time frame, making them the largest component
of the daytime viewership base, ahead of white (16.3%), Hispanic (12.6%)
and Asian (7.6%) women.

But Ellis’ comments show that Kelly has offended plenty of others as well
with her “cringeworthy” statements over the years about minorities.

When one of Ellis’ followers suggested that former CNN anchor Soledad
O’Brien should be doing the segment on sexual harassment in Silicon
Valley, Ellis agreed. If Kelly had not displaced NBC’s popular anchor
Tamron Hall, perhaps Hall could have gotten an interview from someone
whose opinions and perspective are in demand like Ellis in addition to
doing a segment on the lack of racial diversity in an industry that keeps
pushing for more visas to grant to foreign guest-workers who are no more
qualified than the legal immigrant or U.S.-born American workers they are
displacing.

NBC News has already been reportedly”freaking out” over the “ratings
disaster” that Kelly has turned out to be. The network has reportedly
been panicking and looking into potentially unloading her contract or
putting her on MSNBC. A high-ranking Fox News official told Breitbart
News, though, that Kelly “would not be welcomed back” if NBC tries to
convince the network to take her–and her burdensome ($17 million/year)
contract–back.
