Megyn Kelly’s recent program hosted Maureen Callahan to pull back the curtain on two of the media’s premier elites: Gayle King and Michelle Obama. The segment laid out how the same coastal club of celebrities and network insiders keeps recycling the same sanctimonious narratives while real Americans pay the price for their tone-deaf priorities.
Industry reporting now says Gayle King is expected to depart her anchor role on CBS Mornings when her contract runs out next spring, a move that comes amid a sweeping corporate shakeup at the network. That report — sourced to insiders — suggests she may be shifted into a different role or producing duties rather than remaining the face of the morning show.
CBS has been quick to downplay the speculation, issuing statements that there have been no negotiations about King’s contract and that she remains a valued employee, even as layoffs and reorganization ripple through the company. King herself has taken the low road on public bargaining, signaling she won’t negotiate through press leaks while trying to project normalcy in the chaos.
Make no mistake: this isn’t just one anchor’s fate, it’s the predictable result of an ownership-driven purge and profit-first restructuring after the Skydance-Paramount deal, a development that’s already cost viewers familiar faces and thrown the newsroom into turmoil. Conservative Americans should welcome any move away from partisan cable-style morning shows, but they should also be skeptical when the same elites want to repackage themselves behind new titles and big paychecks.
Meanwhile, Michelle Obama’s recent podcast appearances kept returning to race in ways that sound less like reflection and more like a carefully curated political brand. In interviews this year she leaned into narratives about “white flight” and enduring grievances that feed the tribal atmosphere in our culture, proof positive that the ex–first lady hasn’t stepped out of the political spotlight so much as sharpened her messaging.
Maureen Callahan and Megyn Kelly didn’t pull punches, calling out Gayle King’s ego and what they see as cluelessness — a media diva who luxuriates in the same self-congratulatory ecosystem that lets celebrity leftists lecture the rest of the country. That critique lands because Americans are tired of being lectured by people who jet between mansions and studios while lecturing working families about sacrifice and systemic grievances.
If CBS truly wants to become an apolitical, trusted news source, now is the time to stop shuffling the same familiar faces in new boxes and start answering to viewers instead of donors. The American people want accountability, fairness, and reporting that reflects their lives, not another round of smug elites telling us how to think while protecting their own.
