There is no evidence to suggest that a twitter storm is what made Megyn or her bosses pull the story. If anything that would support the narrative that cyber bullies are harassing people. I think it is more likely that the show was pulled for the same reason that Drudge is silent on this. If what happened was that she took notice of the questions and realized that Alefantis was probably not innocent, then I don't think she would have cancelled the show. She would have called him on it. If she noticed the huge number of pizzagate tweets but still didn't believe it meant anything, that would have merely strengthened her theory that crazy conspiracy people are harassing innocent people. So my point is, a large volume of tweets would not have lead to the silent cancellation of the program whether she changed her mind about pizzagate or not.

In her book, Settle For More, Megyn mentions that after she and Trump met in person to bury the hatchet, he asked for her phone number. He may have saved her from great embarrassment. Or it could be that others at Fox News already knew whatever Matt Drudge already knows, and they convinced her that it would be best if the show didn't air.

I think this must be more terrifying to the pedo rings than if MK had gone full Paul Watson on Alefantis. This silence must be very hard for them. Obama cannot mass pardon them if nobody but some crazy internet people have accused them of a crime. That would be basically informing the world that they are guilty. They can't go out any start making a big deal about how flimsy the evidence is either. So they can't really defend themselves if nobody in any official standing has brought this up.

  We are serving an important role, however.   When the truth does come out, it won't be hitting the everyday person out of the blue.   They'll have heard something it before.  Also,  it is probably very instructive to watch who is joining in the panic.  It is quite certain that there are people in the NYT and WaPo who are part of it, and probably quite a few in broadcast news business also.

I just watched it - it was awful. She completely ignored the mountain of (circumstantial evidence). I hope this will go down as the biggest mistake of her career.

the night after the interview was supposed to air she was back on and mention of her being sick...she said she was "on cough syrup" so my guess that's why she had a substitute host on that night..

Her voice was a bit hoarse that night.
