Conservative radio host Mark Levin blasted Megyn Kelly and Fox News Channel on Wednesday, saying that Rupert Murdoch’s two sons, James and Lachlan, are ruining the network and Kelly is “out of control.”

“I think it’s fair to say the Fox News Channel is imploding. I think it’s fair to say the Murdoch boys, both of whom are liberals, are slowly but surely ruining that network,” Levin said. “Their top star’s Megyn Kelly. Megyn Kelly is out of control.”

Levin mocked Kelly for an old appearance on Howard Stern’s radio show by saying, “I thought she’s a journalist,” and then blamed the Fox News host for setting the stage for personal attacks during the primary election by simply asking Donald Trump a question regarding his treatment of women.

“She’s doing it again,” Levin said, referring to the recent dust-up between Kelly and Newt Gingrich that has earned her praise from mainstream media outlets and liberals, but resulted in criticism from conservatives.

Levin continued to bash Kelly and Fox News for roughly fifteen minutes.

“She is auditioning, in my opinion, for a bigger forum. That’s not exactly a state secret,” Levin said of Kelly. “But please don’t pretend you’re a journalist. If this is the future of Fox, Fox will be dead.”

All of the animosity wasn’t directed at Kelly. Levin went on to call Shepard Smith a “sarcastic, snarky liberal.”

Meanwhile, if Levin thinks that Fox News is “imploding,” then a ton of other cable networks wish they could suffer the same fate. Among total-day viewers, Fox News finished No. 1 for the 10th consecutive week, averaging 1.5 million viewers, the week of October 17-23.
