Fox News Channel host Megyn Kelly took on the left-wing hate mob that has come after her following a humorous segment that she featured on her program Wednesday evening in which she and her guests staged a mock debate over the racial identity of Santa Claus.
To the haters, Kelly had a message tonight: Lighten up and learn to realize what satire is. “Humor is a part of what we try to bring to this show but sometimes that is lost on the humorless,” she said.
Since the Wednesday segment, an absurd controversy has been swirling around the newly minted primetime host in which Foxophobic television and internet outlets seemed unable (or unwilling) to comprehend that the entire segment, which began with a satirical disclaimer to “kids at home” that Santa was white and did exist, was not to be taken seriously.
After playing several clips of various television shows reacting to her remarks, Kelly commented further on the response: “This would be funny if it were not so telling about our society. In particular, the knee-jerk instinct by so many to race bait and to assume the worst in people, especially people employed by the very powerful Fox News channel.”
Indeed. As we noted yesterday, it seems that many leftists in this country seem to be psychologically disturbed that there is one television channel which is not controlled by Democratic partisans and therefore they seek to turn even the tiniest molehills into mountains when it comes to Fox News. The entire segment was a joke and for people to pretend otherwise speaks negatively of their intelligence or their honesty.

Uh, listen genius, Santa Claus is based on the true St. Nickolaus, not a pagan
She’s backtracking.
Never noticed it before now, but Megyn has the boniest fingers.
None give you the whole story, a network branding itself Conservative or Liberal is the same in my view of the peddlers of snake oil a hundred years ago..
“News” is boring and off everyone’s radar screen. Having photogenic air heads present a ratings scripted monolog day after day marketed to a targeted audience makes a profit.
The alphabet networks, in most cases, are not giving anybody nothing more than a slant on a particular days events from a particular marketing point of view..
I as most here don't trust any of them..
I may be wrong but I'd guess that many turks of yore were Caucasians.
Right, St, Nickolaous lived on the North Po;e and brings gifts to “good” children.
It stings on so many levels.
Her fingers are fine.
So what color is Kwanzaa Klaus going to be?
Mulatto?
You should be ashamed of yourself making a comment like that on a serious topic like this.
Billions of peoples lives depend on the race of Santa.
Oh, St. Nick was white, but it would likely be a kind of Greek white (he was ethnically Greek as far as we know). So more tan than the Scandinavian look he has, but still white. He sure as hell wasn’t black or whatever the woman who wrote the original article was proposing.
Note to race-hustlers: If we made every historical figure black, things would be incredibly unrealistic. Especially confusing would be any parts of history with racial tensions.
SKIN COLOR <> RACE. Period.
Of course he is white, he doesn’t break into your house to steal your gifts.
Yes, I see what you’re saying. There are images of St. Nicholas, although its hard to tell how accurate they are.
What race would you say that was?
Nickolaus
Why do self righteous twits distort things?
Not Chinese, Japanese, Philippine, Oceanisnian, etc.
He’s not a god; Saint Nicholas was a bishop of the church, and lived in what is now Turkey.
If I ever want to judge someone’s Kenyan-ness, I compare them to Obama. At least he’s good for something :)
