My Take
Megyn Kelly interests me less as a pundit than as a case study in reinvention. She trained as an attorney, and I can feel that cross-examination instinct in her interviews: the patience, then the sudden precision. What I respect most is the gamble she made after leaving network television, betting her entire career on her own name, a microphone, and a podcast feed. It paid off, with millions of subscribers and arguably more influence than she ever had inside a studio. Agree or disagree with her politics, that kind of self-made media independence is where journalism is heading, and she saw it earlier than most.
