Loaded questions (informal fallacies, gotcha questions...pick your poison) or great journalism?
Blood-free post.
A lot of prior watchers will no longer view her version of GOOD journalism.
How does Megyn “Hair Extension” Kelly keep her hair extensions out of her soup?
Won’t watch her. I am not a Trump fan , but the way she acted disgusted me and now she is so drunk on her power and ego she actually thinks she did a good job and we are too stupid to understand.
I'm not so sure those gotcha questions grab ratings. Or at least they probably lose as many or more viewers as they might gain.
I wonder what the definition of “debate” is.
Isn’t it supposed to have points and rebuttals between participants?
What happened to all that?
I think those kind of questions would be fine in a one on one interview, but not a 10 person debate. In an interview, the candidate can respond fairly, including debunking the premise. Unfortunately the media seems to think their role as debate moderators is to attack the candidates rather than clarify their positions on common issues.
BTW, where is the outrage over Chris Wallace? He was far worse, IMHO, than Kelly. He never even allowed Trump to finish a sentence without interrupting and claiming he wasn’t answering, then gave that smug smirk to show how dumb he thought Trump was.
The Power of Arrogance: Donald Trump’s Campaign.
Good journslism in the election setting is eliciting facts about the candidates policy positions not doing a hit job to destroy his/her reputation. Think Megyn would ask similar questons of Clinton?
A “debate” stage is not a courtroom. And, this is not gotcha question cross examination.
Nor, did she exercise good journalism.
Stop watching TV 24 years now. When I do I’m at someones house or a hotel. Magyn Kelly always seemed snarky. Don’t miss tv. It is a tool of the Government.
I am gross and perverted
I’m obsessed ‘n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I am the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin’ out
From your TV set
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t go for help...no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
That’s right, folks..
Don’t touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, look at me go

The “questions” are charges to which the expected response is: “guilty as charged”. Sorry.
I used to watch Megyn but I have lost interest in her program. It’s hard to watch when I know all she cares about is herself. Obozo is a narcissist but she is starting to catch up to him.
Does anybody know how much her ratings have dropped? I assumed the ratings have dropped but maybe now she is attracting viewers from the Communisy New Nework.
Ted Cruze makes it clear :
Hard questions Baaaaad
Easy questions Gooood
Megyn shot herself in the foot, and bled all over the Fox brand.
