Discussion: Sandy Hook Group Dumps Megyn Kelly As Event Host Amid Alex Jones Interview

Good for the Sandy Hook group.

Legitimizing Alex Jones with such media appearances is truly outrageous.

WTF?!! But incoherent conspiracy theorists are the in-vogue talking heads this season!! Perhaps NBC can burnish their ‘fair and balanced’ credentials by broadcasting an interview with someone who’s rational.

How does Jones, who traffics in these outrageous conspiracy theories, have the respect of the president of the United States and a growing audience of millions?

…aaaaaaaannnnnd said without a hint of irony.

Is calling your own interview “Fake news” really the way to the play this?

Kelly is an airhead

So much for Megyn’s I’m-a-real-journalist-not-a-Fox-hack makeover.

A doctor who served as a witness at Alex Jones’ child custody trial on said that he had been diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Dr. Alissa Sherry acknowledged that Alex Jones had NPD, a psychological disorder where people have “an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others.”

Sherry, who served as the case manager for Jones’ family therapy sessions, testified that a diagnosis for NPD was present in Jones’ case file when she first started working with him. She also said that Jones’ narcissism might explain an incident in which he yelled at his own daughter for wearing a special walking boot on her foot after she broke her toe.

Elsewhere in her testimony, Sherry confirmed that Jones would regularly take off his shirt during therapy sessions — and she said it was the only time she could recall a patient stripping off clothes in the middle of therapy.

Sorry, but I gotta go with “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.” We shouldn’t be afraid of these people getting their idiocy front and center. We should consider it an opportunity to destroy them with our response.

Frankly, it’s precisely the secrecy and “dark web” type nature of their product that allows them to get away with building their followings.

NO QUARTER. We can’t fight them on the battleground of their choosing. Bring them out in the open where they can be summarily sniped.

Do you think Kelly is going to go beyond, is capable of going beyond the softball handholding she did w Putin? If she lets him skate w some ‘mild regret over his occasionally combative tone’ while fudging the true vileness of his work, that will be more lubricant than disinfectant.

They might have waited for the interview, but considering that these parents and families have been traumatized almost beyond belief – by losing their children and other family members and then by being tormented by a freak who will literally say or do anything however monstrous if it satisfies his ego. They shouldn’t have to worry one more minute over how this interview will go or whether it will help to dispel the insane miasma that is the world of Alex Jones. And honestly, I doubt if it will. The only way to go after Alex Jones is to sue him for libel. I don’t know why more people have not done so.

Megyn, there is a different demographic that watches NBC than Fox News. Most recognize BS when they hear it and don’t buy hateful conspiracies or prompts to violence. I think NBC may be trying the Fox business model but it doesn’t seem to be working.

Wait are you talking about Alex Jones or Donnie? I got confused…

If Kelly really wanted to be “fair and balanced” she should have had some of the Sandy Hook parents on at the same time.

I see her as another Baba Wawa, an entertainer, not journalist.

Why on earth did they have Megyn Kelly, well-known panderer to RWNJs anyway?

I don’t think NBC will be patting themselves on the back for this hire.

She said reporting on Jones’ falsehoods is what journalists are supposed to do.

That’s right, Megyn. Kind of late to that party, aren’t you?

I might be mistaken but I don’t think Trump has repeated or referred to Alex Jones’ horrifying fabrication he calls the Sandy Hook Hoax.

Unless she sits there and yells at him and calls him a motherfucking idiot I doubt if she will win this contest. Jones is a psychopath.

That I would watch.
