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.”

It was just a variation on the old “when did you stop beating your wife” gig.
Standard Leftist character assassination crap, designed to make you conform to their worldview.
Her self-delusions of grandeur are are in full swing. It’s all about her. She’s a mental case.
I’ll take that bet and give you odds to boot. That’s just nuts.
Oh, and it’s called vetting, something the MSM never does with Dems.
Essentially, they are Question and Answer sessions.
It's false advertising.
Excellent!
A real "Low Rent" bitch masquerading as a journalist.
Yet she’s out there on the weekend defending herself. I wonder why she feels that’s necessary.
Megyn, get over yourself. You did not win the so called debate as you are not running. As for Putin how is that working out for your hero president oreo.
Meeeeeeggggg.
Pfffffffft.
Now well over 25,000 signatures.
She’s delusional.
C’mon Honda wake up now. Fox DID gang up on Trump it was plain for all to see, except you. You agree with Mega Harpy starting out with a trash, gutter question? What does that say about you? She could have asked a host of other viable, tough questions but she went all gutter on him and us too, we are sick of that crap and Fox blew it by being no better than MSLSD and ilk.
I swear Fox News has the best makeup artists in the world.
Uh, you said the beaver was doing the shooting. In my day we shot the beavers.
Trump got past you Megyn, you little twit. Its your ars hole twits that piled on. Trump would give Putin a headache Putin would never forget. That's a man. Still want Cruz to win.
Its not about Trump Kelly its about you and your inappropriate behavior.
Actually, Megyn, Trump did get past you if you haven’t noticed. That’s why you’re spinning like a politician this weekend. As for Putin it’s doubtful in any potential meeting with a President Trump he would bring up tabloid trash. They would have more important things to talk about unlike you.
The LA Times write up says plain as day that the moderators were gunning for Trump. If he didn’t play right they were going to threaten to have him escorted from the stage.
Debate moderation should be reserved for scholars and news presenters, not opinion pimps.
Lester Holt, Wallace, ok. David Boren and/Ken Starr duo perhaps...Brett Baer (sp), ok....borderline. OReilly openly says not me. Kelly...no way.Stephoccopolis no way...
Fox received my last viewing this a.m. ...(I’m deliberative...not reactive... about such things.
Trump got well past the snotty bitch. Well past.
We’ve been waiting for someone to call out liberals when they say stupid crap and Trump does!
