- Kelly replied that Levin is “an old, irrelevant, bitter, angry man” who could not make it in Fox News primetime.
- Kelly’s response drew more than five times the likes of Levin’s post, according to engagement tallies noted in coverage.
- Levin followed up by stressing he chose weekend primetime and by deriding Kelly’s canceled NBC shows and cable tenure.
