Fox News’ Megyn Kelly opened up for the first time this morning about all the criticism she and Fox have gotten about last week’s Republican debate, talking with MediaBuzz host Howard Kurtz.
And, basically, she took the high road, not necessarily singling out Trump but instead defending her tough questions and saying, “If you can’t get past me, how are you gonna handle Vladimir Putin.”
She explained that the goal was, for every candidate, to “drill down to their most vulnerable areas and then give them a chance to explain them” because these same things will most definitely resurface in the general election.
Kelly anticipated a few boos (which they got), but said of all the criticism, “It’s okay, I’m a big girl. I can take it.” Furthermore, she made it clear she didn’t want her male co-moderators being her white knights in case she came under attack.
As for supposed “gotcha” questions, Kelly said, “I don’t think that my history as a journalist supports bias on my part towards either party… When I'm ticking off both sides, I’m in my sweet spot.”

I thought he got past her just fine.
She and her buddies are the ones who seem upset by that.
Its not about you, sweetheart.
Bet she’ll never ask tough questions of Hillary, Bernie or other Democrats.
That's code words for 'vagina'.
Megan you’re full of it!
You are unprofessional and no better than all the pundits at MSNBC
I’m disgusted with you and Fox and have not watched Fox since the debate. Hey! Megaaan, I’m not recording you anymore, cupcake!
LOL! What a gasbag. Machine Gun Kelly.
Getting past her is not exactly hard.
Sorry, Megan, but you fully exposed your bimboness.
Wear it proudly, bimbo.
Everyone DID get past her and TRUMP did call her out and stood his ground as he would against Putin, so great for making his point.
Hey Meg... Psst... I don't think Putin will ask how Trump treats women.
More rationalizations from Kelly.
Her job as a debate moderator not to be like Putin.
Her job is not to ask stupid questions that have an agenda.
Her job is to be an objective moderator who asks tough import questions
Of all the candidates, Trump is exactly the one I want sitting across from Putin. Who do you think Putin would fear most? Strength respects strength.
She's trying to get in one more little dig hoping that Murdoch will notice.
She's still playing politics and doesn't realize how unethical she appears.
Hey Mega Kel-Lies maybe you should have asked Trump about Putin instead of your trashy, little, femmie garbage question so you could get a ding-ding on ratings. Enjoy the slide down and tell Rupert we don’t like his paid, blonde puppet goddess of Faux News no mo.
Meg, honey,we know Vladimir Putin
And you are no Vladimir Putin
Lol!
Perhaps a better question, for a woman with your past, is, “What Would Howard Stern Do? (WWHSD)”. After all, you talked about sex and sexual private parts with him for awhile on his show.
Megyn using Amnesty Jeb’s talking points:
“You think that’s tough,” Mr. Bush said of the questioning, “how about dealing with Putin?”

About 11,000 facebook comments may have her feeling a little defensive
Now let’s watch her ratings....
He doesn’t have a vagina!
The fans come to the park to see the baseball stars, Megyn. Not the announcers and the umpires.
