Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on CNBC Moderators: ‘Uncomfortable to Watch’
Breitbart ^ | 10/30/15 | Alex Swoyer

Posted on 10/30/2015 2:08:21 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, who was criticized for how she moderated the first GOP presidential debate, is herself critiquing the CNBC moderators from Wednesday night’s debate, saying it was “uncomfortable to watch.”

“How about personalization of so many of the questions: I, I, I — you heard Becky Quick saying — there was one when she said, ‘I too had student loans, Senator Rubio, and I can’t figure out the math of that; And Harwood, ‘I have spoken with The Economist’; Back to Becky — ‘our cause’ talking about working women; ‘our cause,'” Kelly said in her analysis of the CNBC moderators’ questions.

Kelly was particularly critical of them for not having been tough enough on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump for his stance on H1-B visas. CNBC’s Quick wasn’t prepared to cite the source of her question during a back and forth with Trump.

“This is why u never ask a Q like this w/o having your source material at the ready,” Kelly posted on Twitter during the GOP debate “after Quick seemed to succumb to Trump’s claim that he never criticized Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s call for more H-1B visa for foreign workers to work at tech companies,” noted Yahoo News.

Kelly also had a panel of Republican voters on her show Thursday night where she was again critical of the CNBC moderators.

To promote her own show with the panel guests, Kelly posted on Twitter, “What did you think of the show tonight? Let me know using #KellyFilePanel.”

But one follower responded citing the widespread criticism of Kelly from the previous debate where she was combative with Trump, “[J]ust as disgusting today as when you unfairly slammed @realdonaldtrump on 1st debate. You never learn? #KellyFilePanel.”

Well Ms Kelly, I’m sure it was uncomfortable to watch. It was almost like looking in a mirror. Yes?

Yes, right after you wake up, walk into the bathroom, turn on the light and look into the mirror. That kind. I do it every day. Gets worse every day too. :-)

The past 2 nights with the focus groups Megyn has beat this to death... taking advantage to try to make Trump look bad.

I think Megyn doesn't realize how much she looked like the CNBC moderators!

Bloody Megyn is quite the ignorant one. As one comment in the article stated:

"[J]ust as disgusting today as when you unfairly slammed @realdonaldtrump on 1st debate. You never learn?"

She is not a real journalist. She is a brainless witch.

You’re welcome! Thought that just washing it through NotePad would do it, but the new NotePad does Unicode. So I had to manually edit it.

-- ... and thought her attitude about the whole thing was a little too "holier than thou". --

That sums her up on any subject.

Reminds me of Matthew 7:3-5.

r Quick seemed to succumb to Trump’s claim that he never criticized Facebook founder Mark Zuckerbergâ€

trump never did criticize Zuckerberg...he called Rubio Zuckerbergs favorite lawyer...big difference.

If CNBC violated an actual, worked-out, and explicit agreement and Kelly just violated some unspoken expectation people had of how moderators should behave, then, yeah, she can venture her own judgement on their behavior.

A worked out agreement or not, debate moderators should always be impartial.

Which is why her judgement on their behavior seems hypocritical.

Thank you! What is the deal lately with the funky formatting on FR ? Started the other day when everyone was complaining about malware popups. Your’ repost is the first without all the odd characters in place of commas and quotation marks.

All that bleach has gone to her brain. I see she has a new short haircut from twitter posts. Still haven’t watched her show since the FNC debate. Wonder if they are getting the message yet.

Did you forget the outrage after your debate?

Fox was slammed by most of its viewers and had to have Roger Ailes fix it with Peter Johnson

You were forced to take a 10 day leave of absence

I heard Mark Levin say something on his show..about getting a snarky message from Miss Megyn. But I wasn’t sure exactly what he said. Did anyone else catch it? Mark wasn’t amused, to say the least.

I was just guessing that it had something to do with the malware threads yesterday or the day before.

Figured they were still trying to clean out.

"What is the deal lately with the funky formatting on FR ?"

It only happens went you copy/paste.

They are working on it but for now you just have to go through anything you copy/past, delete the offending punctuation and type it in.
