Fox News does it's job too well with graphics tricks and scares Megyn Kelly

When a television news network needs to interrupt programming with breaking news, the alert animation is not supposed to scare the host more than the actual news.

But that's what happened, and now video of Fox News host Megyn Kelly's reaction is getting attention.

The segment on the "fiscal cliff" began with a brand-new breaking news alert graphic. Someone apparently forgot to warn Kelly that the graphics department had been working overtime.

After it appeared, the "America Live" anchor was shown with her hands over her mouth looking surprised, and not in a good way.

If you don't want to watch it, it's the globe getting smacked around with 'ALERT'. Ya, really. BE AFRAID! PANIC! RUN AROUND IN CIRCLES!
