In MK defense. She was just reading what her producer fed her. We and she should be going after the FOX upper ups who hired her producer and have put her in this perilous position just before the debates. It certainly puts her credibility into question.
If I were her there would be a very serious discussion with that producer and the people above her who OK’d the story.
OTOH. Its out there and behind DT. No further discussion except the appropriate apologies to both Ivana and DT and their children
Why does anyone still watch Faux News?
If that is the case, she is gonna be p!ssed.
When I gave the incident more thought, it dawned on me that during their programs, most TV pundits are fed continual instructions from their producers through hidden ear pieces, cue cards....or scrolling pads of some kind on the desks.
It's possible, indeed probably probable, that MK received hidden orders from her producer to veer from her ongoing program to read the "breaking news" hit-piece on Trump.
I don't know if Kelly has yet achieved the stature and clout of, say, O'Reilly, to override her superior's instructions and refuse to read some news she was hastily fed, so I agree with your keen observation that we have to cut her some slack here, at least temporarily.
Her ongoing reportage on Trump will tell the tale...and will be telling one way or another.
