The more balanced she tries to make herself appear, the more rancid she becomes. Megyn Kelly is a toxic waste dump. I’d call her a media whore, but I’ve known whores, and they deserve a helluva lot more respect than Megyn Kelly does.
Kelly doesn’t worry about upsetting The Donald with these types of exchanges. She has an agreement with Trump every few weeks she’ll rehabilitate his image with a nationally broadcast fawning gabfest about his love for Melania and his fabulous charitable work.
Maybe Megyn can address the barrage of vicious anti-Semitic attacks on both Jewish and non-Jewish reporters who cover negative aspects of Trump’s campaign.

This cable news formula of having one guest who supports Trump’s insane positions and one who opposes them is bad for the country.
Last night I watched Don Lemon put a Trump supporting former Navy SEAL against a conscientious objecting, Bernie supporting, Iraq war veteran. The Trump supporter, I shit you not, said on live television, which I assume is broadcast internationally, said he would execute Muslim families.
This is the opposite of responsible journalism.
The big November question:
Can the Republican Party — the party of uncompromising principles — win by taking both sides of every issue?
Imagine if she did that during her pitiful interview with Trump… come on Megyn… do better next time you are with Trump and make him leave the room he’s so upset.
Hopefully she’ll steer clear of his love for Ivanka which is just creepy.
Trump’s success just led to him having a better platform to howl at people who have offended him.
Trump’s enmity towards the judge in the Trump U. case has several possible meanings and functions:
- Will he put up such a fuss that the judge withdraws…?
- He will disqualify himself as Prez but win his court case out of sympathy for the poor loser
- Trump is losing it and becoming more maniacal
- All of the above.
No more test here. It’s remarkable that Kelly went after Trump for his incorrect Mexican reference to the Trump U judge, instead of pointing out his threats to the integrity of the judicial process. Isn’t that the issue? Isn’t he using his status as a presumptive GOP nominee to threaten and attempt to intimidate the judge?
This is completely outrageous.
Agreed – an agreement forged by her boss, Roger Ailes and signed to by Mr. Murdoch, himself. It’s all an act. FOX Entertainment.
Even fake journalists don’t like to be jerked around.
One of my favorite YouTubers is a guy named Tony Zhou, who has a channel called Every Frame A Painting. Mr. Zhou is a film editor, and he does these excellent and thought-provoking deconstructions of films, directors, and cinematography.
One of his videos is about Jackie Chan. (Spoiler, regardless of what you think about Jackie Chan’s movies, the man is a pro.) In one of the behind the scenes clips, Jackie’s fighting another actor on a roof top, and every time the actor delivers his kicks, he moves forward, forcing Jackie Chan back. Jackie tells him, “Stay where you are! Don’t move. It makes both of us look good.”
That right there is the way TV punditry works. You get some campaign surrogate – some sleazy talking head – and the professional pundit, and they engage in a carefully choreographed argument that makes them both look good. Trump has pissed all over the process. He’s not just moving forward while delivering his kicks, he’s leaping on unsuspecting crew members and giving them noogies, while the professionals stand around going, “What the fuck is wrong with this fuckin guy?”
No. I want a journalist–Megyn Kelly, if not a journalist–to address that with Trump directly. Creepy or not, people need to be reminded of how sick this man really is.
The Megyn Kelly thing is just a little too convenient. Mark my words, Fox News will be using her for decades as their shining example of being “fair and balanced” and really truly not an organ of the republican party. I’m sure Murdoch…et al., are all too happy to play along with this, so they can continue to pretend that they are a real News organization.
Trump: Kelly is right. I do this repeatedly because I don’t have money for commercials on TV. This keeps me in the news at no cost. Most/all of my supporters are proud white racists. This keeps them happy. Kind of like FOX, except smarter.
By calling a federal judge a “Mexican” (meant as a slur) and a “hater” at a campaign rally in front of his rancid supporters, he’s arguably calling for vigilante justice.
This is chilling, indefensible and should not stand. Anyone not willing to call him out, or worse, supporting him, is unfit to be in the public domain.
Frankly, this is the least Kelly should do.
I don’t see why that judge doesn’t haul Trump’s ass into court and ask him why the judge shouldn’t jail him for contempt.
“This is all it is, he’s got the First Amendment right”?!? Holy jeebus what an assho!e. One of the worst examples of misuse of the 1st Amendment I’ve seen, second to Sarah Palin saying it provided her protection against attacks by the press.
Duce! Duce! Duce!
Don’t kid yourself, she’ll get dumped for a younger and even dumber version of herself when she starts to show a tiny bit of age.
