The putrid environment surrounding Megyn Kelly’s NBC morning show has finally gotten to her. Just one day after launching a vicious attack on veteran actress Jane Fonda, she’s gone into hiding.
Kelly’s critics reacted gleefully.
Megyn Kelly attacking Jane Fonda for things she did in the 60s is exactly why Kelly isn't working out at NBC.
Dated, stale tps w/ heaping of 60s disdain only appeal to Fox News viewers.
Since she brought it up, Kelly should tell us abt cosmetic surgery "requirements" at Fox.

“Why are people more angry with Jane Fonda about the Vietnam War than Nixon and LBJ and people who lied about the war and sent boys as cannon fodder to that unjust and filthy war? It amazes me how you can focus on Jane Fonda,” The View’s Joy Behar snarked Tuesday.
“To drag the Vietnam War into a plastic surgery conversation is a real stretch… Jane should have just said to her, ‘And how much work have you had, bitch?’”
Ouch. The women of the View and Kelly have been slinging barbs back and forth for months, but Behar’s comment was brutal.
View co-host Whoopi Goldberg also chimed in.
“If I can forgive you for telling all of my friends’ black children that Santa’s only white, then you can step back,” Goldberg said. “We all make mistakes. You gotta lighten up babe. Jane made a mistake.”
Hollywood is in a tizzy because Kelly tore into Fonda during a vitriolic monologue on her show earlier this week. Fonda has spent the last few months griping about Kelly’s miserable interviewing skills, and Kelly just couldn’t handle it anymore.
“This is a woman whose name is synonymous with outrage,” she hissed.
“Look at her treatment our of the military during the Vietnam War. Most of our veterans still call her ‘Hanoi Jane’ thanks to her radio broadcasts, which attempted to shame American troops. She posed on an anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down our pilots.”
The entertainment world is clearly on Fonda’s side, but Kelly has her defenders.
“It’s no surprise The View is using Megyn to try to make themselves more relevant since she has been regularly beating them for the past 2 months,” a nameless insider told Us Weekly.
