How Megyn Kelly Became the New Star of Fox News
Variety ^ | June 22nd, 2015 | Ramin Setoodeh and Brian Steinberg

Posted on 06/22/2015 11:38:16 PM PDT by Mariner

Megyn Kelly is bucking the conventional wisdom of what it means to be a Fox News anchor. The take-no-prisoners newswoman isn’t afraid to throw hardballs at Republicans. She recently lectured Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul over his penchant for arguing with female reporters. She poked Jeb Bush about whether he would have invaded Iraq in 2003. She cornered Mike Huckabee for saying it was trashy for women to swear in public. Last year, she told Dick Cheney, “History has proven that you got it wrong” on Iraq. On Election Night 2012, she dared to question Karl Rove for claiming that Barack Obama hadn’t won Ohio, and it went viral.

Yet you are worried about "trick questions" he receives!
Anything that keeps Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush out of the White House is a technique fine by me.

I think she is pretty fair on her show, she has really gone after the Rats and she covers a lot of the news, in detail, that the left media will not cover. If I wanted to watch “softball” journalism, I would watch 60 Minutes interview “the one” again.

Just saying.

She missed a golden opportunity to really nail communist terrorist Bill Ayers. She was ‘ok’, but there was so much more she could have confronted him on.

Megyn Kelly is total leftist she just plays center right conservative on TV.

You know Kelly personally? I envy you.

The last time you talked with her, she said, "Well, I fooled the dumb bastards that watch my program, I'm a total leftist".

WOW!!! Good for you and thanks for sharing.

Also, The Bush Admin didn’t get it wrong. WMDs were found all over Iraq.

Thank you for reminding the world of this fact before it gets covered up by conspiracy theorists and "history-rewriters". Or, possibly, the same group who muddied the facts with VN war?

I agree. Nobody remembers her glee on reelection night.

One other thing of note that I don’t think is brought out enough. There were 23 resolutions in the vote for the war of which only 3 dealt with WMD’s. That means the Congress voted on 20 other non WMD related reasons why we should wage war on Sadaam. There were plenty of good reasons to get rid of Sadaam that did not have anything to do with WMDs. The Clinton Administration in 1998 made it official U.S. policy to advocate the overthrow of Sadaam. It was in our national interest to do so above and beyond any WMDs.

She is “a breath of fresh air” when it comes to actually digging the truth out of ALL she interviews, right or left.

She will not cower to anyone regardless as to their popularity or political status and during the interviews with wildly liberal idiots she really gets the truth out of them.

She is one of the VERY FEW who is not POLITICALLY CORRECT...and that is GOOD!

Iraq was in good shape when Bush/Cheney left office. It needed limited maintenance from Obama when he came in. Blame him.

The GOP and especially GWB didn’t defend their choices as they should have including your note on the 23 resolutions. They let the left and media control the negative narrative. And it will haunt the GOP for decades.

That pic looks fake. Her head is way too large for her body. If that is the size of her noggin, then she drops way down on the 'hotness' scale.

Amazing how may Freepers are still blaming Bush. Get over it, it’s done. Look at what you now have hanging over your heads, someone running this country you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about except he is a horseshit golfer.

Geeesh people, get over it!

M.I.L.F. , THAT is why Men watch her(I don’t). I find myself “watching” less and less TV of ANY sort lately.

Kelly is a journalist and puts tough questions to both sides. I have grown tired of O’Reilly and Hannity and find Kelly a refreshing change. That she is eye popping gorgeous is just frosting on the cake.

IMO, anyone on FR that blames everything on Bush is most likely a "liberal in sheep's clothing".

I know I’m not the only guy in America that has had numerous ex soldiers tell them they found them and were told to STFU about it.

It is funny how one of the nets that recently ran the story about that big dump they had not so sealed up still pushes the no WMD meme. I don’t blame them. thats what libs do. I blame people being stupid enough to still make excuses for watching them.
