From the standpoint of a thirty-year journalist, I respectfully disagree. I can understand her rationale, but Kelly’s job is not to make value judgments. Her job is to report facts.

Yes, she’s made her point. But from a journalistic standpoint, she’s wrong. The shooter made world news and her reporting was deliberately incomplete. In my newsroom that would earn her some time off.

Megan Kelly does not strictly do a news show. It’s commentary, opinion and sometimes yes even controversy.

Back you my example of the local radio host here that for years refused to name mass killers on air. He would say: “If you want to hear his name listen to the world news at the top of the hour. You will not here me say it.” That’s his perogative. His job wasn’t reading news copy and neither is Megan Kelly’s job.

Make that: “Back to...”

FYI...I’m typing on a phone with my fat thumbs and auto fill is not my friend.
