The Megyn Kelly eight-minute interview with Newt Gingrich was riveting. For me, it also was the last straw.
Let the drive-by media attack Gingrich, but I thought it was his finest hour since he handled John King four years ago at that GOP primary debate, when King of CNN started attacking Newt by quoting Newt's bitterly vindictive ex-wife.
Our household has become quite sick of Kelly, much as I had gotten tired of Greta Van Susteren. Don't miss Greta a bit. I know that Fox News is not only "fair," but "balanced," and I comprehend that they ultimately have more influence by maintaining a broader viewership if they avoid being as one-sided as is MSNBC. Nevertheless, I have been finding Kelly more and more strident and less tolerable. It may be that, post-Ailes, she is playing out her Fox contract and jockeying for a move to CNN or elsewhere. Indeed, that would not be all bad – the presence at CNN of people with any amount of conservatism whatsoever is so rare that Kelly would be a good Trojan Horse to unload at CNN.

That’s when I stopped reading. Greta? What’s wrong with her?
Kelly’s a “trash” reporter. In the old days, it sold. They were the sleezy magazine writers who produced trash that folks hid under their mattress.
Megyn Kelly elicits a viscerally negative reaction in any right-minded male American.
Let @foxnews hear your disgust. Tweet something with the hashtag #BoycottMegynKelly. It’s already viral.
She is just on a personal vendetta against Trump. She is obsessed with him.
Megyn Kelly looks like a malevolent David Bowie. Bowie was entertaining. Kelly is not.
Conservatives who think Fox represents their views are very sadly mistaken.
I heard Kelly blather on with her fake, manufactured “its all about protecting women” BS, and realized very quickly she has some hidden motivation for spewing this nonsense, empty cliche.
We will soon see how far left Fox has gone: http://www.wsj.com/articles/megyn-kelly-seeks-salary-north-of-20-million-in-contract-talks-with-fox-news-1477527922?mod=wsj_nview_latest
Well one thing Trump and this election is doing good is that it is drawing the puss out if the infectious wound on America known as the News Media.
I love it when Gingrich told her to say the words “Bill Clinton is a sexual Predator”
Kelly can’t hold a candle to Greta.
‘with any amount of conservatism whatsoever is so rare that Kelly would be a good Trojan Horse to unload at CNN.’
What is conservative about kelly? She seems like an attention whore ..for that reason she might stir things up anywhere she is at.
....after her major “work over” she became much more conservative. I attribute that to the guest
she got to interview, to actually listen and understand what was going on ....
Self-obsessed and arrogant are two words that perfectly describe MEgyn.
That a woman who has been politically active, her entire adult life, among a people with the most successful history of economic achievement over their first century and a quarter, of any people on earth, under a Constitutional Government designed to protect that people from a bureaucratic pestilence, which has been the bane of most nations; that such a woman has so missed the essential point of the American achievement, is staggering in its implications.
Mrs. Clinton claimed that a Clinton Government would rebuild the "Middle Class." Was she totally unaware that the American Middle Class clearly built itself? That the American Middle Class resulted from naturally energized individuals, aspiring to achieve the good life, who risked everything to first clear a wilderness, work hard, generation to generation, to save & accumulate the attributes of the good life; with the result that by 1913--the year that a graduated income tax first became Constitutional, this Settler built Federation of newly settled States, had already surpassed every one of the great powers of Europe in industrial strength.
To "rebuild" the "Middle Class," Mrs. Clinton vowed to make the most successful Americans--those who had achieved the most--pay increased taxes; she called it "paying their 'fair' share." But it was clearly to be a tax on success--a tax to fund a raft of new programs (a cancer or pestilence of an expanded bureaucracy). She was obviously indifferent to the fact that the biggest impediment to any poor person with ambition, actually launching a small business to improve his status, is an almost incomprehensible explosion in bureaucratic regulations, most of which premised on the same flawed understanding of how people actually advance, which Mrs. Clinton displayed, on the 19th.
Americans used to learn by experience. What were the experience based lessons of what transpired from the drafting of our written Constitution in 1787, until the passage of the income tax amendment in 1913? Are they instructive or not, for what actually works for human advancement?
The Constitution prior to 1913, absolutely interdicted a tax driven war on the accumulation of individual wealth. Article I, Section 9, which Mrs. Clinton should have remembered from Law School, provided that no direct tax on individual Americans could be applied in any way but pro-capita. (That is Warren Buffet would pay the same tax--not the same percentage tax--but the same tax as Joe the Plumber. The Founders had no desire to limit individual success. They sought only to encourage it.
Under there experience based philosophy, there were almost certainly not even 1% of the bureaucratic regulations, with which Americans seeking to improve their lot, must face today. In place of today's pursuit of grievances, real or imagined, there was universal admiration for the high achievers! And the growth rate of a people freed to achieve, was the economic phenomenon of human history.
We do not pretend to know whether it was in her indoctrination by Marxist Pied Pipers in her late teens, or pure confusion in whatever she is struggling with today. But Mrs. Clinton is utterly clueless on how a dynamic economy works; as she is utterly unaware of the dynamic, interactive factors, that drive or stagnate any human aspiration or achievement. What is absolutely clear, even if one ignores her lack of a moral compass in her political dealings; the woman is absolutely unqualified to be President of the United States.
This is one more reason why we must win this election for Donald Trump.

That is how I felt when I saw that piece of crap that was trying SOOOOOOOOOOOO hard to pass itself off as, actual ‘journalism’.
THAT kind of crap I can hear any hour of the day from virtually ANY inexperienced, uneducated, self-identified Liberal 18 year old who is voting for the first time and has NOT completed his/her education. I don't need that level of mindless bias from a person calling herself a ‘journalist’
I always thought she was hired for her looks. That doesn’t speak to me. I want to listen to news shows that make me feel like talk radio does, secure in my opinions. I equate Kelly’s calling Trump a sexual predator the same as Saturday Night Live doing skits years ago of Gerald Ford falling over his own two feet. At this point, I’m praying to the Lord to NOT prosper her business because her support of Hillary will hurt our country and economy.
If he doesn't win, it will all be for naught. In 2 years the masses will be fast asleep, again, and all the advancement in showing the media for what it is will be buried under a mountain of "bread and circuses" and lies. People will again be focused on who is getting kicked off "Dancing with the Stars" and not on the lies the left leaning media will be feeding them.
This author (Rabbi) has a bone in his craw about Greta. I don’t get it because I have always found Greta to be one of the more balanced news readers on Fox. I was worried about her in the beginning, but I really grew to like her.
