Megyn Kelly and Kaitlan Collins are locked in a whirlwind of drama that could give even the most seasoned soap operas a run for their money. Former Fox News darling Kelly is taking aim at Collins, a rising star at CNN, with all the finesse of a seasoned gladiator in the media arena. Kelly recently went on Bill Maher’s HBO show and declared that Collins doesn’t just have a bias problem—she’s got a personality problem too. It’s a wild claim, especially coming from someone who’s not shy about calling out the absurdities of the media landscape.
Kelly’s critiques are more than just casual banter. She’s accusing Collins, who came into the limelight after hosting a contentious town hall with Donald Trump, of being a “cold-hearted” individual who could use a crash course in human warmth. In the world of cable news, where hosting a talk show is almost as competitive as navigating a grocery store on a Saturday, being likable counts for something—at least for the viewers who aren’t glued to their screens for the latest leftist outrage. Kelly’s advice for Collins? A simple smile might just do the trick.
The hilarity escalates with Kelly riffing on the idea that Collins is a “star.” According to Kelly, Collins’s fame is now officially confined to the echo chamber of the left, where stardom seems to be just another word for “approved by the mainstream narrative.” This isn’t just friendly fire; it’s more like direct artillery. Kelly’s cheeky dismissal of Collins making claims about her “conservative” upbringing fueled around Alabama only adds more spice to the dish. She points out that not all red-state roots translate to reliable reporting, especially when those roots are buried in an increasingly biased media garden.

Amidst the catfight, it’s hard to ignore the bigger picture at CNN. The network has been in dire straits lately. Collins’s meteoric rise from correspondent to anchor in a matter of months might sound impressive, but it’s really a symptom of a system in turmoil. With ratings falling faster than Biden’s approval numbers, CEO Mark Thompson seems to be flailing for solutions like a fish out of water.
Kelly makes it clear that there’s a growing appetite for genuine conversation and content outside the traditional media bubble. Her show has amassed over a billion views on YouTube, highlighting a significant audience that’s fed up with the same old biased reporting. As she emphasizes, the surge in alternative media isn’t just a trend but a reaction to being spoon-fed the same liberal agenda from mainstream outlets. As the battle between Kelly and Collins unfolds, viewers are left wondering if this is just the tip of the iceberg in a long-overdue reckoning for legacy media.
