Fox News’ Megyn Kelly opened up for the first time this morning about all the criticism she and Fox have gotten about last week’s Republican debate, talking with MediaBuzz host Howard Kurtz.
And, basically, she took the high road, not necessarily singling out Trump but instead defending her tough questions and saying, “If you can’t get past me, how are you gonna handle Vladimir Putin.”
She explained that the goal was, for every candidate, to “drill down to their most vulnerable areas and then give them a chance to explain them” because these same things will most definitely resurface in the general election.
Kelly anticipated a few boos (which they got), but said of all the criticism, “It’s okay, I’m a big girl. I can take it.” Furthermore, she made it clear she didn’t want her male co-moderators being her white knights in case she came under attack.
As for supposed “gotcha” questions, Kelly said, “I don’t think that my history as a journalist supports bias on my part towards either party… When I'm ticking off both sides, I’m in my sweet spot.”

Her Facebook says it all, wonder what she thinks about that. The best way to “talk back” from the grass roots level is change the channel. I’d rather watch Dr Pol reruns anyway.
Who the HELL made you the gate keeper, sweetie?
Never in all my life have I heard a PUTIN or any other leader speak the way you do, they don't ask the kind of questions you asked the candidates.
Lets pretend: Putin and Trump meet.....Putin says Mr. Trump before we get started with our conference I just need to know why you are thinking women are Fat, Ugly, Ignorant or any of the things that Ms. Kelly referred to? Can you answer that for me Mr. Trump? Well Can you? Well, Ms. Kelly said you had to get past her first so it looks like our Iran negations are off, see ya Trump.
You are so full of yourself Ms. Prissyboob. get over it, your not that important. You really think 3rd world leaders care what you think of yourself? you know? I'll bet you really do think that.
“Megyn ...”
LOL
Not really. Laura said Jeb won the debate. Seriously.
I’ve been getting OANN ( One America News Network) on line and like it. Unfortunately, Comcast doesn’t carry them. Maybe I’ll switch to Verizon if Comcast doesn’t in the near future.
“Ditto. But I doubt if Laura would agree to follow Fox’s marching orders. So she probably wouldn’t last long.”
Laura has gone over to the dark side. On Fox News Sunday
today she said she thinks Jeb Bush won the debate and sounded all pro Bush. Another GOPe outs herself.
Translation, 'I've got a contract, so there!'
Trump is not going to get past Putin by calling him names. Remember Putin is KGB, Donald is a cubscout.
Sigh. Et tu, Laura? I think I'm going to just go back to watching Ronald Reagan speeches on Youtube. At least that won't disappoint.
Meghan you are why we called TV the boob tube in the 70s. Only boobs watch it. Donald should now send her a reset button.
Boy this amateur sure has a high opinion of herself,she told Ben Carson after he commented that he didn’t think he was going to be asked any questions,don’t worry Mr.Carson you will rue the time you said that because we will be coming back to you plenty,they didn’t come back to him for about an hour
I started watching OANN Saturday morning on Verizon..had no idea before reading about it here.
...after a while i got bored with the headlines starti g to repeat...and I realized...maybe I shouldnt be watching FREAKING TV THAT LONG.
I feel better now.
Ooooops! I just got my picture taken!
I’d like two 8X10 matte finish and a dozen glossy wallet size.
Dang! A “Brownie Hawkeye” Camera. I didn’t know there were any of those still around.
The bigger they (think they) are, the harder they fall .... I’m not talking about The Donald, either.
“Trump is not going to get past Putin by calling him names.”
Correct. I think everyone would know this.
“Did you see the look on her bimbo face when he turned it back on her?”
Ya. It was classic.
I'm sure it took the Faux damage control squad the better part of the weekend to mix that batch of lemonade. Sorry Schmeg, your still tart, bitter, sour and distasteful.
It’s political theater for news junkies. News junkies don’t care about the issues as much as they just like being angry.
