NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: It has been more than a week since the Israel-Hamas conflict began, and former Fox News host, Megyn Kelly has often expressed her views on the war on social media, as well as her podcast, ‘The Megyn Kelly Show.’

Recently, Kelly admitted, “The daily conversations about the deeply disturbing atrocities that Hamas committed are a lot... it's a lot to deal with. It’s like a plague.”

Following that, the former Fox News host took to X to talk about “escapist TV” that she has resorted to amid the “darkness,” and the internet couldn’t help but tune in with more recommendations for the host.
