But for Kelly and Owens, the criticism is nothing new. “We’re not here to make everyone happy,” Owens said. “We’re here to speak the truth, whether people like it or not.”
Whether you love them or hate them, it’s clear that Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens are about to change the landscape of daytime television. With their $400 million deal and a platform as big as CBS behind them, they have the potential to create a show that challenges the dominance of The View and offers a new voice in a space long dominated by liberal perspectives.
Only time will tell if the gamble pays off for CBS—but one thing’s for sure: daytime TV just got a lot more interesting.
