I saw that last night after the game.

Gingrich was completely correct. She has a massive chip on her shoulder, and is incapable of being the "journalist" that she purports to be. What a bitch. She is no better than the MSNBC hags, and is probably auditioning for MSNBC or CNN when her contract expires on 11/9.

No media bias?  23 minutes on Trump's sex comments, and 57 seconds on Hillary's email scandals.  Newt is right.

Not sure if it was a slapdown, she's a pretty tough woman and held her own.  That said, she definitely has a chip on her shoulder about Trump who took her to task for being a jerk.

I think she has to do these things as her star is falling.  She got FOX to let her do the Barbara Walters kind of show ant failed miserably and I believe her current show's ratings are falling.

And right now, I would say that she is being a little minded jerk.  Great minds talk about ideas, medium minds talk about events, little minds talk about people.  She amounted to little more than a paid gossip hen when she could have been a great journalist.

I can't watch her anymore.  She is just annoying.  So self important, it makes me sick.  I hope she leaves Fox, and goes to CNN where she belongs.

Great statement, but in my mind a great mind integrates all three.  To me Bernie is an idea man, the wrong idea. If he drilled down into events and people he would realize it.

I thought she was quite good in her early years at Fox, but now I see her for what she's become: An attention mongering media whore who doesn't care what she has to do or say to continue to be in the spotlight. Power corrupts, and all that.

I agree completely. Even if she was bad, she was nice to watch. Now I can't even do that - she's too much to take.

Haven't watched her show since she went off on Trump during the debate she co-moderated, haven't missed it - the soundbites I can't avoid are bad enough.

She is no Baba WaWa, far too lightweight and far more self-absorbed than Baba WaWa ever was.

And she has been getting beaten in the ratings by that angry young man, what's his name, Rachel Maddow... ;^)

$20M is ridiculous IMO unless Brett Baier is getting $30M and Brit Hume is getting $40M.

'Gimp

She used to have a much softer delivery, now its all bitch, all the time. Blah, go away, you're annoying and your 15min are up.

No, it's her true colors coming out.

Probably right. Just as self serving as Hillary herself. Who knows, maybe MK ends up on her staff somewhere.

 No, MK has stars in her eyes. She doesn't want to report the story, she wants to be the story.

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around
We got the bubble headed
Bleached blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye

It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

And give up $20 million/year?  Doubtful.
