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.

I have never watched that show; no interest.
Who are you going to get your news from then, some magic fairy who claims she’s totally unbiased? Why are you on this forum? This forum has a clearly stated bias as well.
I would say Bill O’Reilly, Megyn Kelly, and Chris Wallace are some of the most evenhanded commentators out there, who don’t show loyalty to either political party. Tim Russert is the only clearly fair commentator I ever saw on a non-FOX network. Kelly may be the best one at this point. NBC should be offering her big bucks to take over Meet the Press, because she seems like the best heir to his throne I’ve ever seen.
Sean Hannity and John Stossel are clearly biased, but I still enjoy their programs. You either have confidence in your own point-of-view or you don’t. Why would you not want to get news from people who share your basic view on the world?
You also ignore the fact that on many of the shows on FOX, they bring on both sides and let them debate each other. O’Reilly, Kelly and Wallace are simply not biased shows. They cover all points of view.
I dunno....make kids happy.
I lost the multiple paragraph answer I had prepared. suffice it to say, I went to a Christian parochial school from K through 10th grade and we were able to separate the 2 things.
get a life.
Same to you.
That’s one of the funniest sitcoms ever. Although you watch “Family Guy”, don’t you ? I loathe that show.
I stopped watching Family Guy (or any of its spin offs) ~4 years ago; haven’t missed it at all.
Seinfeld looks a bit too “New York” for me.

A good Irishman and a fine actor.
RIP.
Yep. A lot of people have died this year.
Damn sad... I liked that guy.
“Lawrence of Arabia” one of my all time favorite movies.
RIP, Pete... God speed you home. Thanks for all the great movies.
Yep. Surprised he lived to 81 with all the drinking and smoking and yes, bad plastic surgery.
“...ll the drinking and smoking and ...”
It would appear that those were LONGEVITY factors!!! Ha!
Hmmm...I think salami and matzo balls would have been better.
He had those too, probably...
Maybe. Or not. Well anyways, RIP Peter.
