Mark Levin Goes Off on Fox, Megyn Kelly over Debate: They Had “Ratings Agenda”
http://threepercenternation.com ^ | August 7, 2015 | Matt Duncan

Posted on 08/08/2015 6:38:33 AM PDT by NKP_Vet

Mark Levin said on his radio show today that he’s not “trashing” Fox News or Megyn Kelly for last night’s GOP debate, merely giving his take as someone “very serious about what’s going on in this country,” but it’s clear he was pretty frustrated, even angry, with how the whole thing turned out.

It drove Levin crazy that at a forum that was supposed to be about issues important to salvaging America’s future, the first hour was a “reality TV show” because of Fox’s “ratings agenda.”

He said there was a fundamental “unseriousness” and “disrespectfulness to candidates who deserved better” from the moderators, especially when it came to the question that really set him off: Kelly confronting Trump about nasty things he’s said about women.

Levin said of her question, “I’m getting tired of these lies and these attacks on Trump. I don’t like bullies.”

He played audio of Rosie O’Donnell mocking Trump and said there was crucial context to Trump’s “cherry-picked” remarks left out of the question.

I know, I’ve only seen a couple of them, and they are scary dudes. Someone said that you get patted down about 15 times before you get in to see Trump. He has his own security detail. He has said that some of the guys he knows would do a good job aren’t the kind you’d want to sit down and have dinner with, but, they get results.

Duncan does a good job in reporting Levin’s reasoning on why the Fox hit job was done
Here’s the rest of the story
Mark Levin spent the first 45 minutes of todays broadcast explaining just how Fox agenda driven debate moderator Megyn Kelly sand bagged Trump .

She took an episode of the Apprentice (6) and twisted a completely innocent comment by Trump claiming it was a lewed inuendo.

Kelly set this up by first portraying an exchange of a highly personal attack Trump responded to with alledged woman demeaning remarks from and directed to The View’s Rosie O’Donnell without citing the circumstances.

All designed to portray Trump as some kind of a presidentially unqualitied misogynist but if you’re accused of rape it’s OK

Absolutely. They were contestants not leaders of the country who were vying for the most important job in the United States. I’ll never get over that embarrassment. Already, the British creeps on Facebook are gloating over this disgrace. And I’m fighting with all these a**holes!

The lewd left yet again accusing others of being lewd. Sick, twisted people.

EVERYONE should be attacking FOX because, as far as I can tell, not one of those a-holes asked one question about how a republican president would be better/different than what has been in the white house for the last seven years.

The God question, specifically her snark and smirk as she turned to Cruz to see if God had spoken to him was official end to me. The fact FNC staged an ambush on Trump is inexcusable as well. I’m not a Trumpeteer either.

Everybody has extremely thin skin all around, Trump most of all. Amazing that Levin and Trump cheerleaders think tough questions about offensive things said in the past are over the line. Just wait until Hillary minions start in.

I’m more than happy to contribute to Fox’s ratings— downward, that is. I’ll only watch Hannity— Greta comes on too early. Otherwise sayonara Faux News.
PS. Replace blonde bimbo with Laura Ingraham and I’ll reconsider that time slot.

Eating Breakfast, wearing my tinfoil hat, I read this piece

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-08-06/media-wipeout-taking-down-pillar-of-bull-market-in-u-s-stocks

...Until Tuesday, media shares were the best-performing shares of the bull market, rising 531 percent to eclipse automakers, retail stores and banks. The industry’s market capitalization was about $650 billion, compared with $135 billion in March 2009.

That value is evaporating. In just five stocks — Disney, Time Warner Inc., Fox, CBS and Comcast Corp. — almost $50 billion of value was erased in two days. Viacom slid 14 percent on Thursday alone, its biggest drop since October 2008....

Funny, how Barry Soetoro urged all Progressives to watch the FOX debate, which happened after a two day collapse in Media Company stock prices.
I am sure the Stock crash and Fox debate timing is a coincidence

“Blood coming out of her whatever”

Just speculation, it wasn't like Megyn Kelly has wearing a pair of these.

Did she divorce the man she had all the kids with? If that’s the case it seems to me she saw a lot of money in the future and didn’t want to share it with a husband.

And I’ve always thought Hume was hittin’ it. She’s a skank who would do her show topless if she thought it would get her more fame and fortune. There’s nothing journalistic about her.

That is where I say if Trump was smart enough he would turn it back on her, making her look like a stupid attack dog asking questions that are totally non-presidential. I am not smart enough but I have seen it done time after time and it works totally cutting off the attackers line of attack.

Megyn Kelly talks dirty

Fox News’ Megyn Kelly holds a special place in the hearts of Washingtonians. She cut her chops here, working at WJLA and Fox News. She loves Bill Sammon (and John Mayer loves her). She likes food. She’s taken on Britney. She can yell. And she’s a Taylor Hicks fan.

She’s also willing to talk to Howard Stern, which she did today. And, as might be expected, the talk got dirty.

Topics followed expected lines when dealing with Stern: her legs, pre-marital sex, when she lost her virginity, her sex life with her husband, sex in the TV news business, and, of course, porn.

The show summary after the jump...

>UPDATE: Kelly addressed feedback to her Stern appearance at the end of her afternoon show Tuesday and read some viewer emails. “Megyn, I thought you had more integrity and class.” “I heard your interview on Howard Stern. Your cred went way up with me. You get him and you’re comfortable with yourself to talk about your life without being inappropriate.”

Before Kelly walks in:

Howard: “The reason she’s here is because she’s the hottest TV person I’ve seen in a long time.”

Robin Quivers: “And she’s promoting that!”

Howard: “I just want to see a hot chick.” Adding: “She is the hottest newscaster. ... I feel a little nervous Robin.”

Kelly walks in:

“Baby, look at you...”

Highlights:

H: “Are you attracted to my wife at all? ... Have you been with another woman?”

M: “I can honestly say I haven’t. ... Maybe [Howard’s wife] will be the first. ... I’m into guys.”

M: “I’m not into porn.”

H: Have you always had a boyfriend?

K: “Pretty much. ... Maybe it’s an insecurity thing. ... I do need a little attention. I like to be adored.”

K: “They Fox-ify you over at Fox News. ... Fox is full of beauties. ... They’re all beautiful, honestly.”

H: What happens to you at Fox News when a woman gets ugly?

K: “They take you down to the basement, beat you and kick you out the door. ... No! ... I mean, honestly, it’s TV. It’s a fickle business. ... I do feel pressure to look my best.”

K: “I believe what Kevin Bacon said: Keep the fights clean and the sex dirty and you have happy marriage.”

K: “They say that newscasters often get stalked more than celebrities because you’re looking right in the camera so they feel like you’re talking right to them.” On stalkers: “That’s the dark side of TV news but it’s worth it.”

K: Some people want to discredit women’s succcess in TV news “by saying you slept your way to the top. They either say you’re an idiot or you slept to you top. ... Some people said I slept my way to the top.” [Kelly categorically rejected that...”on a stack of Bibles.”]

K: Bill “Hammer’s a good looking guy.”

Howard also played a game with Kelly called “F**k, Marry and Kill,” in which Kelly was asked who she would sleep with, whom she would marry, and whom she would kill amongst these three Fox talents: Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. The results? She’d marry Hannity, sleep with O’Reilly and kill Glenn Beck. Why marry Hannity? “He probably has the most dough and he’s the youngest.” Why sleep with O’Reilly? “Because he wrote a book that had some saucy sex scenes in there.” Why kill Beck? “Because I know Glenn the least.”

Who else is hot at Fox, asked Stern. Julie Banderas, responded Kelly, calling Banderas a “hot mama.” “She’s a beautiful woman. She’s got the Latina thing going on, the saucy vixen.”

K: “I’m conservative on some things and I’m not on others. ... I’m not going to say how I vote. ... I love that people make these assumptions about you because you work at Fox. ... That’s my job, to be contrarian, to push people.”

K: “You don’t get on air at Fox unless Roger [Ailes] interviews you personally. ... I think he’s looking for people who are interesting, who are smart, who’ll be good on television.”

K: “Who knew that one eyebrow was freakishly higher than the other? ... Why is that? That’s all I can look at when I look at myself on TV. ... You want to know what I love most about myself? I’ll tell you the truth: My clavicle. I thin I have a nice clavicle.”

I personally think that fox hurt its brand long term the way it handled the debate.
