Conservative viewers last night were very offended at Megyn Kelly’s antics during the Republican FOX News debate.
Twitter exploded with attacks on Kelly and FOX News for the constant attacks on the Republican candidates. Here is just one example: Twitter quote at link.
Now there is an online petition to bar Megyn Kelly from future GOP debates.
Here is the petition to News Corp:
“ Dears News Corps.,
Megyn Kelly apparently finds the state of our union amusing and “fun”, whereas the viewers (our fellow citizens) deserve a much more serious moderator.
In addition, she had a clear agenda to attack Donald Trump, by tenaciously clinging to his past rather than his vision for the future. She focused on Trump personally, rather than politically. Ultimately, she did not not live up to the “fair and balanced” slogan at Fox News and News Corporation.
While her disdain for Mr. Trump was evident, this peititon is a call for truly fair and balanced coverage of ALL candidates. Thus, Megyn Kelly should be barred from hosting or moderating all future Republican Presidential Debates.
Please support this position by signing it as well as adding your reasons to bar Megyn Kelly from hosting or moderating any future Republican Debates (she is better of hosting a Democratic Debate at this unprofessional level).
Sincerely, (Your Name)

Big Donors Warn Candidates On Eve Of Debate: “Take Trump Out”
I'm watching tonight to see if Megyn Kelly shows the whole
country her ass trying to cut up Trump.
Hey Steve, I think we have another one here for the team. He too sees what others WOULD not.
Oh, I agree...
As a part time (now) stock trader I have spent hours and hours surfing in China.
The government and it’s many associated sycophants use the internet there with great efficiency.
I am told however the most Chinese have become so used to it that as a practical matter, they are wasting their time and effort.
I tend to disagree with that thinking, because as a practical matter, it keeps the populace engaged in the debates that the government wants them engaged in and not the ones that might blossom without the distractions..
I’d have loved to have seen her face when she got slapped with this morning’s reviews of her performance last night.
I’m with you - I thought the mods did a fine job last night. They asked tough but fair questions to all of them; it’s funny, though, that Trump and his sycophants are pretty much the only ones bitching about them. Oh, and some of the Cruz fanboys (even in spite of the excellent job he did last night.)
I guess I don’t get where they are coming from - I mean, if Trump did such an amazing job last night, you would think they’d thank her for it instead of whining like, well...liberals.
” it keeps the populace engaged in the debates that the government wants them engaged in and not the ones that might blossom without the distractions..”
the ‘beauty’ of social media.
Maybe they will get more objected and intelligent moderators with smaller egos.
Can’t see beyond the end of your nose, can you?
My guy, Ted Cruz, did very well, thanks, despite the fact that Megyn Kelly was snarky and unprofessional. The face book and twitter exchanges support that she was way out of line. The bulk of articles today also say her performance was disgraceful.
Fox lost much its bona fides last night. Truly painful to watch socalled moderators turn the event into a circus.
Send her over to CNN with Allison Cammertata. It is a fit.

Glad I didn’t see it.
"Former third-generation Democrat (voted mostly Republican), who finally woke up when Bill Clinton was elected."
So where were you during Kennedy, Johnson, Humphrey, Muskie, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, and Clinton I?
I'll take no lectures from such an uninformed late-comer who by his own admission appears to have been completely somnambulant through all those dolts.
FReegards!
Agreed... but the best tool available is not a pettition to Faux New head quarters....
The best weapon is compile a list of advertisers and systematically bombard each advertiser on Fox with a boycott of their products due to Ms. Kelly still being on Fox... Pick one an get them to public comment then immediately go the next one and hammer hammer and keep hitting them hard...as long as Fox still has Kelly on, I will not buy your XXXXX.
Leverage consumer dollars vs Fox income... put Kelly’s name on it... you will see Fox make a choice pretty quickly.
A decade ago, I asked a young professor at Columbia School of Journalism why there no longer seemed even an attempt at objectivity in news reporting, he replied that other points of view should be covered in the editorial section. Objectivity is seems to have been excised as a journalistic value. The students the journalism schools like to accept for the past several decades are those who say they want to change the world in their own image. Calling the NYT “Pravda” is not an overstatement.
Ok, let’s get down to it: If she weren’t pretty and dolled up with long bleach blond hair and hours of eye and pancake make-up application and plunging necklines, sleeveless bright colored distracting tops, all suggestive, would they have hired her and kept her? That’s become the norm for female TV anchors for the past 40 years. How does she, Megyn Kelly, out to kill visually, want the males in the audience to perceive her? If she didn’t wear the make-up and put on a few pounds and let her real hair color appear, there might be in America more than one ever so shallow male who’d call her a dog. The main stream media created a class of news women whom I’ll dub”cheese-cake” commentators, bright and drop dead attractive. Maybe Ms Megyn’s ratings will go up for a week because of the curiosity factor about who she’ll comport herself after being at the forefront of a disastrous career fiasco.
Sure. But you need organization for that because individually no one will do it in numbers to matter, nor will any media outlet report on it because they know they would be next.
We SHOULD individually do that. But it will only have so much impact without a push. UNLESS enough of us did it seperately.
Catch 22.
Any family could pick 5 products and replace them with no sweat from their comfort ((the only thing they care about ultimately). If we all did that? Win. But most cannot even do that as it’s far far to great a burden, much less, heaven forbid, go without.
Behold the miracle of a professional makeup artist
