Megyn Kelly’s guest on tonight’s “Kelly File”: Jorge Ramos
Hot Air ^ | August 26, 2015 | Allahpundit

Posted on 08/26/2015 6:02:54 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

We thought the feud was over. We thought wrong.

“Fox News host Megyn Kelly is no stranger to Trump’s bullish tactics,” notes the Fusion press release touting Ramos’s guest hit tonight. Indeed. She’s tweaking Trump here, obviously, by giving his immigration nemesis a platform to call Trump a child-deporting fascist and grieve over how his right to grandstand on Trump’s dime was brutally suppressed for five minutes or whatever. Here’s your open thread to gripe, grumble, and groan about the great Fox News/amnesty/anti-Trump alliance. Easy prediction, though: Kelly will go out of her way to challenge Ramos on whether he was out of line in turning what was supposed to be a Q&A with reporters into an opportunity for his own special brand of pro-illegal hack-flacking “journalism.” This won’t be a pattycake session, no matter how much she relishes the chance to make Trump squirm by giving Ramos a soapbox. Her strategy ever since the debate has been to take the high road and largely ignore Trump. Scrupulous professionalism is her way of answering the shots that she’s a “bimbo” or some damsel in distress who’ll whine about how mean Trump’s being when a male reporter would be expected to shake it off. And scrupulous professionalism demands that she not go easy on Ramos, no matter how much of a jackhole she may think Trump is. I’d go so far as to say that Kelly’s more likely to go extra hard on Ramos tonight than to go extra easy, purely to show that she does her job no matter where her personal interests may lie. See if I’m wrong.

If you’re looking for someone to take Ramos’s side against Trump, though, may I interest you in Jeb Bush?

“I think people with the press ought to be treated with a little more respect and dignity,” he told reporters…

Bush’s comments came after a town hall event in Pensacola, Florida, where Bush continued to blast Trump’s immigration proposals as “not conservative” and said the real estate mogul should be held to the same standards as other Republican candidates.

“This guy is now the frontrunner,” he said. “He should be held to account, just like me.”

Ask Jeb to choose between condemning a propagandist’s right to filibuster at a press conference in the guise of “reporting” and receiving gentle treatment by a major Latino media outlet and its star anchor and he’ll choose self-interest every time. Coincidentally, the White House also wasn’t real keen today on how Ramos was treated. There’s your green light, liberals, to heckle President Jeb at will one he’s in office. If the Secret Service tries to haul you off, remind them of the “respect and dignity” you’re due. After all, you’re not a protester, you’re a “journalist.” In the Internet age, we all are.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. Roger Ailes and Megyn Kelly are not involved in journalism, both are Partisan Media Shills.

I wish I could stop watching Kelly, but I can’t. The truth is, I never watched her before, as I found her not educational or entertaining ante-debate.

It’s hard to boycott what you never before watched.

I wish I knew where to find the viewership ratings for TV shows. I read that on Monday night about 200,000 viewers clicked away from FNC when OReally ended and Muggin’ Kelly came on. I was hoping her numbers would REALLY tank tonight, because of her taste in guests. I guarantee you, I’m not watching her.

She just won't quit digging her own grave(as far as journalistic reputation goes)!

She has shredded any credibility in reporting on any topic related to Donald Trump.

I have not seen it posted anywhere online yet, but she made a snide, “WTF did she just say? comment” last night at the close of her “show”.

If anyone TIVOed it, look to the very end, right before the commercials.

Trump is not a bully. Even though his is not (yet) President, trump uses the bully pulpit! He uses it well. Did you see Megan interview Cruz and ask him about the poor parents that were illegals with the two children that were US citizens? Wish Cruz was stronger!

I would have said that we don’t want individuals like those illegal parents or their offspring if they are the type of individuals who would abandon their children. Children could have dual citizenship and come back one day as adults.

There is not one journalist who has their own show on Fox. They’re all talking heads who don’t even do their own research. It’s done by interns.

Michael Medved said unequivocably that Jorge was rude and Trump acted appropriately in escorting him out. Oh the whining by the libs -—.

Remember this "interview" Jorge did with Cruz?

Jorge Ramos goes one-on-one with Ted Cruz

Correct you are, good sir. They have stepped aboard the SS BUSH TITANIC, I think I see an iceberg on the horizon.

ps
I am a Cruz supporter first, however it is very obvious that Fox is trying to sink Trump and Kelly's brand of journalism is like a tabloid.

Kelly is a better journalist than this. She is simply doing what she has been told to do.

Same here. My ideal ticket is Cruz/Trump; after the way Trump has handled himself under constant fire, I could easily live with Trump/Cruz, which at this time seems the more likely outcome.

The alternative view about Fox is Dan Rather’s:

MeKel strikes yet again. And Ann Coulter, she made comment to MeKel that when introducing Trump to the audience at the rally he was told by her to lay off MeKel. How about she tell MeKel to lay off Trump?
What a piece!
