Megyn Kelly on power

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg thinks that casting a spotlight on Megyn Kelly, the anchor of Fox News' The KellyFile, is a good way to promote powerful women.

On Tuesday, the Facebook COO interviewed Kelly on stage at the Fortune MPW Summit. Sandberg became enamored with Kelly last year after the news anchor aggressively shut down Fox News talking heads Erick Erickson and Lou Dobbs for making sexist comments about working moms. After watching the segment, “I just cold-called her,” Sandberg said.

Since then, the women who famously told us all to "Lean in" has been impressed by Kelly’s powerful demeanor on air.

“We are uncomfortable with aggression in women,” Sandberg said as she interviewed Kelly onstage. “We are uncomfortable with people who are forthright. The traditional way that women have anchored news is actually different than what you do. It is a little more eye-lash batting, a little flirtier, a little more demure, and you are not doing that. You are covering serious topics and you are doing it with strength and conviction.”

For her part, Kelly says that when her male on-air colleagues strongly push their guests, no one gives it a second thought. But when Kelly has a contentious interview, she's often described as shrill. But the anchor — whose show is now the second-most-watched cable news program — tries not to think about gender politics during work.

“When I sit across that desk, it doesn’t matter who is across from me,” Kelly said. “I only have one master and that is my audience, and I will serve that audience.”
