It looks like Trump is winning against Fox News. In an article written by Politico today the infamous Trump-hater Megyn Kelly is quoted as saying she no longer wants to talk about Donald Trump.
[…] “He’s a passionate man, and I think that passion has appealed to a lot of voters, and has surprised a lot of people,” she said. “I think that’s all I’m going to say.”
(Via Politico) Fox News anchor and show host Megyn Kelly, who has been lambasted by presidential frontrunner Donald Trump since the first Republican national debate, said she was done talking about her feud with the candidate during a one-on-one discussion with Cosmopolitan editor Joanna Coles Monday morning during an Advertising Week panel.
“I don’t want to talk about Donald Trump any more, truly,” she said after several questions from Coles about Trump’s continued criticism. “He has captured the attention of the electorate, and huge sections of the Republican base. I think he’s a fighter, and that appeals to a lot of people. That appeals to a lot of people, and when he is upset at someone, he fights even harder.”
Kelly, whose inquiry about Trump’s disparaging comments about women during the first GOP debate led to high drama between the candidate and Fox News, maintained her questions were balanced and necessary to ask to a potential presidential candidate.
Her rationale: Hillary Clinton, a likely Democratic nominee, will waste no time attacking Trump for those same comments if he becomes the Republican party’s first choice. Why shouldn’t she attack it head-on first?
“The purpose of all of those questions in the opening round of the debate was all about electability,” Kelly said, adding that the first round of questions to all of the candidates were designed to be “merciless, because we were trying to get at the core weaknesses of each candidate.”
She rejected the notion that the feud with Trump was planned in any way.
“I thought it was a fair question,” she said. “He didn’t think it was fair. And that is his choice.”
She added: “I understand his position. He’s not a politician. He said afterwards that he was expecting us to be nice to him, and we weren’t nice…That wasn’t exactly the bargain. It’s not a cocktail party, a presidential debate.”
Kelly spoke favorably of Carly Fiorina, who targeted Trump onstage at the second Republican debate after he said in a Rolling Stone interview, “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?”
The way Fiorina handled the comments at CNN’s debate, Kelly said, was admirable.
“It wasn’t about Carly and Donald,” she said. “It was just about female empowerment.”
Kelly declined to say whether the backlash from Trump surprised her.
I guess that is why she dressed the way she did.
Looks like she was the one that was “out.”
Ping
MSNBC is more honest about itself.
I think it’s called “projection”. LOL
Yeh its not a cocktail party but I still wore my fake hair extensions and bimbo cocktail dress instead of a dressy business suit. :-)
Trump doesn’t need Fox and neither do I!!!
Actually, for a so called journalist, she got her facts wrong again. Trump did not make those comments in an “interview”.
I think Meg-gun’s whole *persona* is geared toward making sure she gets invited to all of the right DC “cocktail parties”, not about actual/factual journalism.
I kind of like Megyn Kelly, with her confrontational style and take-no-prisoners interviewing technique. Hey, Bill Ayers went through one of her interviews, too, and he commented she had “cold eyes” and was “like a cyborg”.
Her response?
“Well, I looked up ‘cyborg’ and it’s a superhuman being, so I’m choosing to take that as a compliment,” Kelly joked.
The host also jokingly agreed that her eyes can be “cold” at times, but not quite as cold as “those of the three people killed while making bombs for Ayers’ group.” She said her eyes get especially icy when she’s “looking at a serial bomber who terrorizes so many, including an innocent little boy.”
To be fair, Kelly did compliment Ayers for having the courage to face her on “The Kelly File.”
I never thought I would stop watching Fox News, but the bias is so bad I can’t stand it. Fox has become incredibly biased for business interests and GOPe goals.
I thought Dana PeRino was Ailes’ “little princess.”
And after “The Five” led off with some sickening Boehner love tonight(except for Eric Bolling)you have to admire PeRino’s and even Guilfoyle’s grit.
By God they are prepared to go down with the GOPe ship and take their suddenly very stale TV show with them.

Bullschtein! She wanted to take down Trump right from the get-go. Sort of a coup to score points with faux news and Trump-haters in general.
But neither I, nor many I associate with , watch FOX any longer, so we wouldn’t know it if she talked about DT or not.
This is the problem I have with Megyn, FOX news, and all media.
They want to select our candidate for us.
Don’t forget the bat-wing sized false eyelashes
Exactly. She wanted to do what Rich Lowery said Fiorina did to him.
“Don’t forget the bat-wing sized false eyelashes”
Followed up by the bat chit crazy questions. LOL!
She was absolutely giddy with her plan that she thought would slay the dragon.
