Glenn Greenwald wants to make this perfectly clear: He finds Megyn Kelly’s views “viscerally repellent.”
But the crusading privacy journalist has plenty of complimentary things to say about how the Fox prime-time host conducts herself on air.
“She has a lower tolerance for being fed incoherent tripe from her own side than the average cable news TV host,” Greenwald said in an email. “Most Fox and MSNBC hosts treat even
Recognition has come from viewers — she often comes in a close second to ratings king Bill O’Reilly — and from the press, too. Kelly, 43, was the only woman in media to be included in Time magazine’s 100 most influential people list this year.
Watch just a few of Kelly’s faceoffs and it’s not hard to figure out she was a lawyer before becoming a television journalist.
“She’s a very good questioner, and you can tell she’s an attorney,” Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), a former federal prosecutor who is now leading the House inquiry into Benghazi, said in an interview. “I think you always bolster your credibility when you show objectivity and when you are an equal opportunity questioner … No one is your client, you’re not protecting anyone. Obviously, when you’re attractive, you can get away with things that ugly people like me can’t get away with.”
She’s pretty hot until she opens her mouth to speak. I find her incredibly annoying.
Her looks may be part of it, but she’s smart as a whip and doesn’t take guff
Her best: CAIR wants an apology from me...Well, GUESS WHAT? They’re NOT GETTING IT
Classic!
Wait...did you say “ex” husband?
You mean there is hope?!!!!
But seriously she is super hot. The video of her doing karaoke was good. She wasn’t that good at singing but she looked like she was having a lot of fun.
She did a good job with Bergdal’s platoon members. Had them on a couple of times and unlike OR, she let them talk.
I think the only reason OR has guest on is so he can catch his breath and drink water between interruptions.
She has been married twice. She was married to her college BF and they were best friends. They grew apart and had an amicable divorce. She met new husband and has 2, 3? kids with him.
OR is unwatchable! The ego, the catch phrases (”What say you?” “The folks...”) are wildly irritating after what? 20 years? He needs to get a new act or get off the air. Of course, maybe his numbers are OK. I end up watching the Cooking Channel.
In the view of the media and the beltway population, these are the people who should shape our thinking and direct our lives.
How is bill oreilly no 1?
Watching him is like eating soap. He’s odious.
***I just threw up in my mouth a little bit...***
Do like I do. Keep a box of baking soda close at hand to neutralize the acid that will eat you up.
Perhaps, you need a course in English that only an idiotic cannot differentiate between idiomatic expressions and ordinary grammar. The city of Sodom was subject to “summary execution” by Divine injunction. Hence the reference to the “law of the planet.”
“Incredibly annoying”? What, you’d rather watch Candy Crowley on CNN?
Megan Kelly is very attractive and very intelligent and a quick wit. She is self-deprecating, which tells me she’s not too full of herself, unlike O’Reilly. She can hold her own with the best of them in a discussion or an argument. She doesn’t back down in interviews and will ask her questions repeatedly if her guests won’t answer.
What’s there not to like?
At least 3 and it might be 4 now, and she is still smokinn.
She was talking the other day how her husband had sprained his ankle and she was mad people felt sorry for him, because she had 3 or 4 little ones to take care of. I like her, her stories seem fair to me. She asks tough questions of both sides.
Blowhard O’Blowhard sucks. No need to read any further.
Referring to a past custom or practice does not mean advocating it. Perhaps the English language is too nuanced for some. It may mean that one conveys an innate revulsion for such action and which until the 1980s was criminalized in many states. But for those who cannot understand the use of hyperbole they need a serious course in English grammar and expression.
calm down Captain Happy
I find Kelly very insightful and she doesn’t dance around issues like O’Reilly. Kelly takes no crap from her guests and I bet she was very effective as an attorney in court.
