Megyn Kelly

I had a completely different post scheduled for today on voter fraud but I changed my mind after seeing Megyn Kelly’s show last night.

HERE is an overview of what happened…. I don’t want an all-Right interview;  I like a little back and forth on each topic, but last night was the end for me.    I suppose it’s because I watch a lot of CNN so I can see what many Americans are being fed, but I have watched FOX more (always have) because they offer a more unbiased argument of most subjects, having really bright leftwingers on panelists versus the really dull witted Conservatives CNN has on like they have to fill their quota in order to appear unbiased.

FOX leans Right, no doubt about it, but Megyn Kelly is going over a line against Trump.   I agree with much of what she says but we Conservatives need SOMEWHERE to go to not hear the same old typical “GET TRUMP” harangues and what she did to Gingrich was too much.  And this won’t be the end of it.  Like our buddy Ed Bonderenka said in COMMENTS last night, “MSNBC already showed it”…Of course they did!  The Left thrives on any Conservative infighting…that’s pretty much all the Left has.

Kelly supposedly is losing viewers so there’s something else going on.  NO channel likes to lose viewers and HER SHOW IS.    She let her temper get a hold of her last night and came off churlish and petulant against Gingrich, who made several excellent points.  Even my aunt, who’s a huge Megyn Kelly fan, emailed that “She went way over the line tonight, but I still like her.”  Well, she got it half right 🙂

I’ve been reading some comments on big sites and many people are saying they’ve stopped watching FOX but that’s ridiculous because there are still MANY FOX people who are not harder on Trump than they are Hillary.  On the other hand, why should we reward FOX by continuing to watch anybody there when they’ve let us lose the ONE DARNED PLACE WE COULD GO FOR SOME FAIRNESS TO OUR SIDE?

THAT IS MY POINT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Here are some of my blog comments made  last night on my article below this in the heat of my having just seen the interview:

  1. geeez2014 says:

    Am watching the Kelly/Gingrich argument now…..Kelly says “But your candidate loves the polls…” …as if that negates the information Gingrich was giving her, which was based on many years of experience.  I have never had less respect for Megyn Kelly than I do now.

    She is absolutely TROLLING to get him NOT ELECTED. Gingrich did a BANG UP job…..excellent.

    Then she says SHE’s not taking a position on Trump and WOMEN? WHAT? Then he says “I think that’s exactly the bias people are upset by!” GOOD JOB, GINGRICH!!! WOWZIR!

     
  2. geeez2014 says:

    Gingrich should be out stumping for Trump

     
  3. geeez2014 says:

    I doubt Gingrich will be on her show any time soon

     
  4. geeez2014 says:

    “You can take your anger issues and go work on them” she said to GINGRICH and he says “You can, TOO!!”

    HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. I was surprised (pleasantly) when she challenged the marine general on Hillary’s foreign policy wisdom, mentioning Libya and Iran (forgetting Egypt).
    Maybe having him on was “man bites dog”, but she could have had another general of stayre to challenge him.

    I listened (as I supposed did Silverfiddle) to Hewitt play the audio this morning and Kelley actually sounded more rational than last night.
    Gingrich was speaking about media bias in general and I think their focus diverged.
    She was justifying having to cover something because it’s news,
    Did he attack her personally? Or was he saying the media in general was preoccupied with sex.?

    If I disagree with commentary, I stop listening to it.

    For some reason, Fox is digging around looking for a new identity. I can’t listen to most of the commentators on Fox these days — Bret Baier and Brit Hume being the welcome exceptions. Hannity would have to make an abrupt about-face to catch up with Glenn Beck. Shep Smith has about as much business reporting news as I have teaching string theory. O’Reilly make a lotta sense sometimes, but I can’t handle his condescending arrogance.

    So . . . I READ the news on line, much as we used to do before TV and got a newspaper twice a day. At least there you could separate the editorial opinion from the facts.

    Time for some changes in the lineup at Fox, methinks.

    I also agree with Boco. Megyn Kelly has rubbed me the wrong way for quite awhile now, starting with her question for Donald Trump in the first GOP debate. She hates his guts, and it clearly shows. And now that she clearly hates Newt’s guts, she has indeed crossed the line.

    I watched Glenn Beck slowly crash and burn. Ditto with Greta Van Susterin. Michael Savage is clearly radioactive politically, and I suspect that Megyn Kelly is going down that road with these guys and will be the next one to get the ax at Fox. Fox may lean right, but they are a business first, and business men running the show watch the ratings like hawks, and don’t like the way things are going with Megyn Kelly. Which spells the end for her at Fox, sooner rather than later.

    Which is fine with me.

    I don’t watch any of it, so I doesn’t bother me what they do, but here are my observations:

    Fox is trending to the center, from what I can gather. Their rightwing conservative demographic is shrinking and aging. Kelly is aiming at being the centrist Rachel Maddow. Say what you will about Maddow, she’s a smart woman, is capable of excellent reporting, and she presents herself well. If only she weren’t so damned lefty-skewed.

    Many are openly speculating that Trump’s campaign has from the beginning been a launching pad for Trump TV, which will take FOX’s place on the right as FOX drifts to the center. Many further speculate that Trump TV will get Baer, Hannity, etc to jump ship and join them.

    Ed, I only catch maybe one segment of Hewitt on my way to work, if I want some political commentary–half the time he’s talking smack about sports, so I tune back to the college music station.

    I have deleted my Yahoo account and twitter feed, so all I have left right now are these blogs (I only stay because of the great blogger buddies I’ve “met.”)

    I can’t listen to the radio at work, but talk radio just grates on me. Larry Elder and Mark Levin are great guys doing great work, but I find them all unlistenable.

    I do listen to downloaded Savage podcasts when I’m working out or riding my bike, driving to and from work. Fredd accurately describes his reputation as “Radioactive,” but he is far from that on the radio. He stays out of the Democrat-Republican trench warfare, and only touches on politics when its the dominant topic of the day. His best stuff is non-political. Its talk radio jazz.

    Ed, thanks for the link, etc. I need to say I’m extremely sensitive to bias from either side. I don’t like rightwing bias that isn’t supported by facts and I hate leftwing bias that isn’t supported by facts and, as a special ‘bonus’ for them, is bringing America down.
    My bias meter registered Kelly as being beyond anti-Trump and into the MSNBC realm.

    Silverfiddle, you have watched Maddow and feel she’s ‘capable of excellent reporting” Every single time I’ve watched her, she’s been so BITTER that she can’t get out of the way in order to report a story. SO nasty she makes a mockery of what she’s reporting…that’s my take every time I’ve seen her, anyway.

    fredd, Beck crashed and burned himself….do you believe FOX is responsible for that?

    Brit and Bret are my absolute favorites but I also LOVE NEIL CAVUTO…..he’s honest, he’s sincere, he’s hilarious, he’s GOOD. And Brit will probably not continue that show after the election, he was only put in as a sub for Greta.

    Boco; Shep Smith…I literally can’t watch the man.

    Linda and Sparky, there are reports that Hannity’s numbers have surpassed Kelly’s since all this Trump stuff started with her.

    LOOK: I understand her anger at Trump! I don’t for a second believe he hasn’t been a sexual predator…!! He SAID HE DOES IT on the bus (anybody YET know why that conversation on a bus was TAPED??? I’ve never ever heard the explanation for that)… BUT, nothing has been PROVEN, and that’s what Gingrich was getting at.

    When a rightwinger gets allegations, it’s TRUE, when a leftwinger gets allegations, it’s ridiculous to even talk about, a waste of time, wrong…and a rightwing conspiracy. And we all know THIS IS NOT TRUE.

    Kid’s right.

    Back around 1945 or so, my uncles who were coming back from WWII told me never to hit a woman unless she hits you first, and then if she hits you like a man would, do the same to her, just don’t get carried away when she falls down and starts bawling . . . but watch out for that knife if you turn your back.

    No, I didn’t have a true father. My biofather was in prison at the time and my grandfather was more of a filo-sofer than a fighter. Uncles who’ve been shot at by strangers in strange uniforms have a purty realistic perspective on things.

    My grandmother believed that a man wasn’t mature until he’d demonstrated his ability to butcher a hog, pluck a chicken, make breakfast, balance a checkbook, fire and clean a weapon, change a diaper, tune an engine, grow a vegetable garden, mend a fence, and deliver a baby.

    ‘Course having raised 8 kids during the Great Depression had a profound influence on her perspectives, too. On the subject of fighting, she said never treat a girl like a punching bag, but don’t let her treat you like one either. The entire family told me that if I came home with a bloody nose, they expected to see blood on my knuckles as well.
